Slade was struggling so much we were in the relegation zone. Kishishev, Noone, Barnes, Painter, Calderon, Greer, Ankergren & Brezovan were all Poyet purchases.

Struggled for points? It was a RECORD tally of 95 points having been at the top of the table for 28 weeks. We won the division with four games to spare. It was no wonder the players relaxed. This is the reason that the more reasonable fans stand up for him, because the detractors make...

You're completely ignoring his first 18 months before the Amex, when he rescued us from the relegation zone and then set about building his squad which got us promoted. For some people, bringing in Calderon is the best thing that he ever did.

You're right, he did. The Tony Bloom revelation came out a few months later.

It was Tony Bloom who said it. Poyet offered to resign and Bloom refused to accept it.

He was approached before Rosler was appointed, & turned it down.

The club was looking forward to the stadium, but was hardly in the ascendency. Ken Brown was managing director, making a mess of things, Bloom tried to bring a director of football, who left soon after because he couldn't settle, & money wasn't really spent for at least a year. The first 6...

If what is true?

He still had to fight a relegation battle before getting his own players in. The crest of the wave was 18 months later.

Saying he wasn't as successful in the Championship is disingenuous. We had a top ten finish in the first year and play offs in the second year. We were his first managerial position. Fans talking of loyalty make me chuckle. Only the fans are loyal, to managers and players it is a job. You...

Poyet joined when Slade was sacked and in the relegation zone.

Lol. I missed those days, when Oscar & Hyppia were in charge. Not now though as I'm loving this season. I do get fed up with some of the re-writing of history.

I think people want to believe that Gus is still pining for Leeds. He's not stupid.

He turned Leeds down before Rosler was appointed. I posted the link in one of the sacking threads.

That was in the relegation zone. The first thing he did was bring two full backs in - Calderon & Painter, to shore up the defence.

Come off it, we won the league with a record number of points, ever, with four games to spare, and three points clear of Southampton. The players just relaxed after that as they were already on the beach. We won 8 games out of 8 in March...

Paul Barber admitted the club didn't know that he was on tv that night. It has been minuted. The club's timing was poor.

IF Gus went there, Adam would love it. He became Player of the season under Gus' coaching.

He managed us for three and a half years, which in managerial terms is a lifetime. Or in the case of Leeds, three chairmen.

Tanno said it in a pre-match press interview, so I see no reason for him to lie.
