How many managers would want to take on a player that had so publicly slagged off their previous manager

Perhaps he should ring the club and suggest he'd like to return.

Or get his agent to do what he pays him for?

He said they didn't get on, he didn't 'slag him off'.

Burke said there had been "no contact whatsoever either way" with the former Spain star.

The club do not want him, well thats how I read it......

So saying, Gus Poyet is “the worst person I’ve come across in football” isn't slagging him off? - right!

Not if it is a fact
It's slagging him off, whether its fact or fiction!

If anything, other players stood up for Gus after that.

I disagree its not slagging someone off if you think its a fact as you believe it to be true. If Vicente has said he was the worst manager he has ever come across then that is a fact for him.

I wouldn't go so far as players standing up for him and any comments from players were more on the side of being diplomatic when asked about him.
I can't remember any of them saying he is the best manager in football and we haven't heard the thoughts of CMS on Gus yet.

Surely the 'fact' is that that is his opinion. 'Brighton's home kit is blue and white' this is a fact 'the grass on the pitch is green' is a fact. 'Poyet was the worse manager that he played under' is his opinion and as such when expressed publicly can be seen as 'slagging off'

Doesn't really matter what you call it - the point still stands - how happy would any future manager be to take on a player who makes those sort of comments about their previous manager in public.

Either way I dont think he's comming back, so..... Next !
Ridiculous to be arguing about the semantics of a hypothetical sighning.
I apologise . Lets talk about bussoms.

Comments from Wayne Bridge, "Gus has revitalised my love for football after I was in the wilderness at Manchester City." and "He got me to focus and enjoy my football. He is a top-class manager both tactically and on the man-management side, one of the best I have worked with"

And
“I just think the day he walked in at this club he changed everything.
“He has made this club how it is today, how professional it is, how they have got everything right for the players.
“You look at the players he can attract to the club. In fairness, I don’t think most managers would have got them.
“When he speaks, you want to listen and you want to play for him.
“I think that is how he has got the best out of everyone.
“We went from a team in the relegation zone to a team winning the league and that doesn’t happen much in football.
“I think that proves what type of manager he is.
“He can get the best out of players straight away and he gets the respect of the players.
“I think that is massive. Everyone wants to play for him.”
