Yep I should have said didn't retain him, my mistake. Still a massive lack of judgment considering his replacement, CMS, cost £2.5m, which is massive for a league one player.

Selling Murray would have been like Shampton selling Lambert when they got promoted from League One, and his intentions were to build the team around CMS so Gus should have thought about whether he suited the way he wanted us to play.

Yep they beat a weak Man U without Rooney or Van Percie and D Gea gave the final to them. Shampton & Man C made the mistake in the Cup of under estimating Gus by putting the kids out against him. They beat a 10 man Everton & Stoke 1-0 but Sunderland looked like they were a man down and were...

Keep changing my mind whether Sunderland will stay up or not, and this afternoon I feel they will definately go down.

It does pain me to smile but I do with a shake of the head.

Reading were 8pts behind in March. I have watched quite a few of the Sunderland games and they have all been a bit of a mix performance wise and Newcastle were truly woeful. Sunderland were very lucky to win 1-0 against 10 man Stoke and it looked like they were the man down, and the same...

This is true, I suspect they may have caused him some embarrassment even if the gross misconducts were not even that great. More of the outrageous and cheek of it than the despicable.

Did he? WHere have you seen that? In his contract he had permission to speak to any Prem club. And I doubt it was much to do with loyalty as much as the fact that it was impossible for Reading to stay up, whilst the chance for us to go up was opening.

I meant meltdown as in going offline.

Unfortunately it will be Gus's version :shrug: One thing I would like to know from Poyet though is his version of the March phone call because he has not yet denied or admitted that this had happened. I think it is important for him to at least clear this up.

I've got an idea, instead of posting on here what happened, start a thread called Something About Poyet on the Sunderland fans forum and we can go there to read it instead of risking an NSC meltdown?

I wouldn't go that far it's less than purrrfect :thumbsup:

I'm just looking forward to Poyet the Musical.

We had so much style we were shown last on the Football League show, for 30 seconds every week last season.

How does touting himself for a move give the club confidence in trusting him with millions signing new players. How do we sell ourselves to new players with a manager who wants to go? or if Gus is doing the negotiations he has got to assure his commitment to the club before the new player will...

When someone wants to leave your job you have to go through a formal process. Gus could have offered his resignation and we could have accepted it or declined. If the club agreed to it there would be no compensation either way, or if he straight out resigned he would have had to buy out his...

Yep, who he brought in to cover for the historically injured Vicente.

He didn't hand in his resignation, he just said that he would leave tomorrow if he could.

You say that, but we could easily say that letting Murray go and bringing in CMS for £3.5m wasn't the best deal of his career, and with all due repect to CMS that is a massive amount of money for a league one player that Gus insisted he would be building the team around.
