Evidently. I also feel that given Gus' behaviour in the period that followed Barber's arrival Bloom was eventually left little option. However, if Gus had been backed rather than Barber when the problems started it would have been very very different. Gus became pretty unmanageable post...
There was no way that the club could have kept two egotists that's for sure. Can't help but think we kept the wrong one though. I would have been far happier waving bye bye to Barber and keeping gus.
