Thank you Gus Poyet

I have thought for a while it's might be best for Gus to move on. I don't think we really grasped the opportunity that was in front of us last season to finish in the top two, and we spectacularly bottled the play-offs. Throw in the two-year search for a striker and it's fair to say Gus has some bad points. But I actually feel really sad he's going, now it is a reality. I don't think anyone can deny we've been excellent for most of the last four years. He's the first manager in my 18 years of supporting the Albion that has put a truly class team on the pitch. I don't think I'll ever forget just how incredible we were that day at Charlton. I also like the fact we had a manager with character, who wasn't afraid to say what he really thought. The prospect of replacing him with some faceless **** like Tim Sherwood doesn't bear thinking about. The longer this has gone on the more I think the club have made a horrendous mess, Gus should be our manager in August and I was wrong to be quite so critical of him. I think this will definitely turn out to be a case of better the devil you know.

Thanks Gus for the last 4 years. Thanks for giving us an identity. Thanks for giving us back some pride after the Withdean years. Thanks for being a cool dude in a smart designer suit. Thanks for beating the scum at home in a game so one sided Churchill would have been proud. Thanks for making Bridcutt the focal point of our team and for that Orlandi finish against Newcastle. Thanks. Just thanks.

This sums Gus up for me. Can you ever in your wildest dreams imagine Ferguson, Wenger, Redknapp, any respected manager you can think of, standing there singing that. Yes i'm sure most people think it's very funny and a cool thing to do. For me it shows a total lack of class and quite frankly embarrassing for the club, that it's manager stands in public in front of children and sings that. One of the very first signs that this man is in fact a liability.

I sort of agree. I can remember Watson flinging it over to Zamora who nodded it in. But Gus took us to another level and if you cant see that then you are blind

I think i would probably shoot myself in the face after a halfday spent in your company. And even then i imagine you'd criticise my efforts for using the wrong type of shotgun, shaking your head at my headless, quivering form.

If your happy with your manager signing foul language in front of children, that's up to you. I just couldn't imagine many people doing it, but then standard have dropped somewhat in the country over the years. You only have to walk down the street to see that these days. If I had taken my 8 year old daughter with her pink Albion shirt for a day out to see her hero's and heard Poyet signing that I would not have been happy....The man has no class, simple.

I'd be pleased in some nebulous way if you were on the interview panel for the next manager. Questions would be posed by each of the likely educated quizzers and on every 4th go you'd simply spit the bile-infected phlegm you'd hocked up whilst the others professionally enquired. The badge on your pale blue shirt simply says VOICE OF THE INCURABLY HATEFUL. The interviewee who grins and bears your troglodyte heavings would probably be hired, showing clearly they had the character to withstand the onslaught of the bruisingly inane.
