Can I just say that putting "everything Gus-related" on one thread is sh1t. Sunderland are embroiled in a relegation scrap, they're playing City, United and Chelsea so influence what's going on at the top of the table. Just when the Gus stuff is getting interesting, and there are real talking...

I'd put Lamela well ahead of Ozil in the flop stakes.

Is Gus Poyet really The Second Coming Of Jesus? So many parallels between Jesus and The Christ: Lowly birth: Jesus - stable, Gus - Uruguay. Disciples: Jesus - dim-witted but trusting local people / family, Gus - Tanno / Oatway / Bridcutt / The Blessed Vergini Won over the local population...

By debacle at the Albion I mean how the appointment ended. Sunderland has turned into a debacle, even his cronies on the MOTD panel were nodding sagely that Sunderland are already dead and buried. I can't see too many sets of Prem fans being happy if Gus was their next appointment. Similarly...

Bounce back - presumably you mean not just get another job (which he's bound to - the Leeds door will be open 24/7 for him) but also be successful? I think he's got a better chance of being successful by going abroad. After his Albion and Sunderland double debacle the only way back to a 'big'...

Similarities / differences between Palace and Sunderland: Both teams had poor summer windows with squads bloated by rubbish, both had eccentric managers, goal-shy forwards, both lacked creativity and discipline, both looked nailed on for relegation. Gus arrived at Sunderland a full 5 weeks...

It would appear that Gus didn't do his due diligence on Sunderland. "I didn't come here to rebuild"- they always needed rebuilding Gus, now they need more rebuilding than the West Pier.
