I'm not sure where you've heard that as I haven't. He has said he wants to manage at the top a couple of years ago, but after that it's only mentioned whenever a journalist asks him the same question again and again. Blame the press if you want to blame anyone. We have a high profile manager that the media love and we all know what the media do to high profile names.
He states things regarding other clubs but doesn't often mention he's very happy here,even his comments regarding leeds were typical,nothing wrong with him being ambitious but he's achieved nothing yet bar a league 1 title,he needs knocking down a peg and needs to respect us as a club instead of jumping 3 steps forward and one step back.

Every manger we,ve had in the last 25 years has had f all money and crap facilities,so at the moment Micky adams done the greatest so far.Least gus has had millions to spend and a great stadium.

Remind me of the millions he had last season and the great stadium of Withdean that we played in?

Some people know f*** all about f*** all, but are convinced that due to a conspiracy of fate, bad luck and being somehow overseen in their applications for the Albion manager role (although I expect the combination of illiteracy, ignorance, a poor education and completing the application in crayon may have contributed to them being rejected for the job).

Other people such as Pork Pie are simply bigots and can't bear the Albion being owned by a Jew and managed by a South American.

That is truly laughable.

Because they are self-doubters themselves, so they have to blame someone else for everything.
What rubbish,anyone can see the many mistakes he makes in team selections,yes nobody's perfect but to leave class players on the bench all the time and to drop players for playing well sums it up.How long does it take to know your best 11?if he has a clear-out and brings in another 6 million's worth in then how long again before he knows his best 11?

You seem like a person who is stuck in the crap old days,we can attract top managers and we always have even at withdean.

True, just look where those managers are now:

Adams: Port Vale
Taylor: unemployed
Hinshelwood : in charge of the cones
Coppell: unemployed
McGleish: Bristol Rovers
Wilkins: in charge of the Stains cones
Slade: Orient

So you know which players are carrying injuries, which have been not trying at training, which are suffering from a lack of confidence......all from sitting on the Internet?

Who said we was paying 100%?
Most of these players are on 10/20k a week and although harper wasn't here long he is on 40k a week,even paying 50% it equates to a fair wad,we have a big squad and all these salaries mount up.

Yes but my point is that the loans are budgeted in also, not added on top. Do you really think Bloom would go over his budget so readily to accommodate loans? If our budget was the 14th biggest in the Champ, these players were within it so to point at loans is irrelevant to me in terms of exceeding budget.

How does Gus know we are 14th in terms of budget or whatever he said? Surely this cannot be known until a year later when accounts are published?

You're right. No one knows how much the other team budget is. My idea of how much other teams have is the size of the club and attendances so think Gus goes by those.

I look at the bench and that tells me they're fit enough to play regardless of what you say.Im not surprised the confidence is super low as you can play well and get dropped like a flash,poor old cms is rock bottom with confidence.

Is Coppell not now, Director of Cones, at Crawley?

He has been poor for over six months, that is why he has not been a certain starter, what do you expect Poyet to do?

So we'll be expecting you to apply for the job when he does leave?

Can't wait.

No not at all, but if Gus were to leave from a fan induced hissy fit, he's not going to go quietly.
Which won't do our standing much good.
