I will dispute your memory of his dismissiveness of the FA cup. He said there should only be one cup competition in a season, which is the FA cup. He was very dismissive of the League cup. We went to Villa and Liverpool in two of his seasons, in FA cup rounds.

The other candidates at the time were the Stockport manager & Steve Cotterill! We wouldn't have got Calde or Bruno.

Bringing in a sports director was the 'ceiling'. John Stephenson only lasted months (not surprising after his Bergkamp blunder) then Burke. Burke & Poyet were never going to agree. I believe Burke was the reason Oscar left, & contributed to Hyppia's failure, which was why he was sacked before...

He was ok for us, but he suffered whenever he played against both at Leeds and Southampton. Carole ran rings round him at Elland Road.

Now, we can't have facts posted on Nsc, as it ruins people's bias. In my opinion, Burke caused a lot of the trouble, bringing in players Gus didn't want and refusing others he did want. That's one of the reasons he wanted out.

Come off it. We got 95 points that season which was and is still a record number of points for a season, with over 28 weeks at the top. I know you hated him, but you are over egging the pudding.

I remember Calde being targetted as a weak link, getting a yellow card, so they could swap Zaha over to that side to run freely. Yes, Barnes was very unlucky. These threads always go the same way, those that disliked Poyet (some from the very start) use it as an excuse to stick the knife in...

Maybe?

Who would have told him? I doubt he keeps in touch with the club now, and as I already stated it was revealed on a Palace video and Nsc.

I don't think he watches Palace videos, nor reads Nsc.

Poor reporting. Faeces were not smeared on the walls, but all over the toilet pan and floor, which is consistent with someone having a bad stomach accident.
