Too true. We'll probably never know whether he was infuriating to work with and manage, and how many people he rubbed up the wrong way. Personally, it appears to me that the club is probably pulling back from too much slack it gave Gus in terms of signings and salaries. Can't have been easy...
Best thing that can happen now is that Poyet lands a job as quickly as possible. If he's left at home to stew on it, he may as well take a gamble on winning some compensation for unfair dismissal in court.
