I was disgusted by Poyet the first time he turned his back on the field of play for an Albion pen. Prefered mugging it up to the Withdean South Stand rather than maybe learning something about his side. Clearly remember thinking at the time: 'what a pathetic egotistical c***'

Poyet got a bit of head-start over previous Albion managers of that era, in that he was the first one to have the purse-strings loosened to a certain extent, planning permission for the new stadium having finally been secured
