Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Just seen this in the Telegraph.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor has waded in to the bitter row at Brighton and Hove Albion, as manager Gus Poyet continues to be suspended by the club pending a disciplinary hearing.
Poyet's suspension for an alleged breach of contract began shortly after the Seagulls lost out to Crystal Palace in the Playoff semi-finals over a month ago. The Championship club has already attracted criticism from the LMA this week for the timing of the disciplinary hearing, set for yesterday, just a day after the volatile Uruguayan returned from his holiday abroad. Poyet decided not to attend the hearing, and Taylor said: "Frankly, I don't blame him. The timing of this by Brighton football club is atrocious, it shows scant regard or respect for a manager who campaigned tirelessly to help get them their new stadium, worked hard to put a decent team on the pitch for them, and then fill that ground every week".
Taylor went on. "If I've just returned from my holidays, the last thing on my mind would be football. I like to come home, unpack, put the washing on, get some shopping in, and get my photos developed at Boots. Then I go and check on my mum, and catch up with the Sky+. I would not expect to be summonsed to a kangaroo court to answer some trumped-up charges on fly-tipping".
It was pointed out to the PFA chief that although the alleged charges had not yet officially been made public, it was not thought to involve fly-tipping. "I've been misinformed then" said Taylor. "Your guy who called me said Poyet had been caught dumping a microwave and an old sofa in a skip on Lancing industrial estate. Some little bald bloke was helping him hump it out the back of a Transit - is that not what this is all about then ?".
The disciplinary hearing has been now adjourned to Thursday. Nobody at Brighton and Hove Albion was available to comment further.
Taylor: "Atrocious".
