Well said. You won't convince him, in fact I'm pretty sure you'll get another reply with yet another veiled dig at Gus, but at least know that most are with you on this.
This was after he was suspended. I'm saying, don't suspend him, just sack him, by mutual agreement, or just ' end of relationship, bye'. all the breaches of contract malarkey was and is a mess
There WAS more than one way for this to come to a conclusion. Gus did not need to be suspended, sacked, tarred with 'gross misconduct' and numerous 'breaches of misconduct', his name smeared and dragged through the mud. No, he could have left by 'mutual agreement', on good terms and we could get...
Not much point having a target that is right in line with expectations is it. Imagine the Yeovil chairman "You have the lowest budget in the championship, therefore your target is to finish last"
No, his target was play-offs (I'm guessing, but seems a fair assumption), but his budget was...
don't go back to the OP, we're having a good old Poyet binfest here :thumbsup:
but if you want to, yes I imagine we have a smidgeon more potential. However we don't know the potential extent of the investment by the new owners. But we're probably more similar clubs than most think.
I'm talking generally. i.e. "we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen" (and what I really mean are phrases like 'why would X want to go to any club other than Brighton?", "Brighton are a far bigger club than X" and in relation to the post I quoted, "it is unreasonable for Gus to...
Yeah, but its football fans, blindly defending the club against all comers and all evidence. Understandable and we're all guilty of it to a certain degree, some more irrationally than others.
again, the digs and 'hissy fits' that I recall were justified (and in many cases, rather refreshing), but lets agree to disagree on that one. As for the rest, I think I agree, Poyet had a very interesting project going that was certainly attractive to him, yes he would have left earlier if we...
Well, speaking for myself, it didn't bother me partly because I didn't think he was moaning like a spoilt brat nor touting himself month after month. However I accept that others are more sensitive souls.
and partly because, as a Brighton fan, I'm completely used to our best players and...
Reading are us, just ten years ahead. Large and rapidly growing catchment area in the south-east of England, fanbase with disposable income, brand new stadium and money for players = inexorable rise up to the "promised land".
