All that because I don't like my child being subjected to foul language. I think says a lot more about me that it does people who think Poyet is cool. I also won't let her have her ears pierced or wear heels etc at her age. I must be a awful parent and a really bad person. No wonder there is such a lack of respect in the country these days with people with high standards like myself around.

I really hope not, but the stick that some are handing out about the club (Tony Bloom) in defence of Gus you could hardly blame him.
If he did decided to pack it in and take his money with him, then you would find out who is more important to BHA and we would find out which one of the two we can carry on without.

I doubt you troll your own children. No monotonous internet fiend could be that authentically loatheful. Unless you're teaching them the trade to be constantly dissatisfied and to enter repetitive and ingracious thoughts on a public forum to ideally have the easily led feel awful about something they once loved too. If so, then you are a bad parent. If not, then you're just a bit of a nob on here for fun.

Going slightly off subject. All this because I said Poyet has no class. Which I been saying for ages, the guy is a total myth and slowly but surely people are seeing it. It would have been a disaster if he had stayed. Why do you think Mr Bloom is going to such lengths to get shot of him

This isn't an either/or situation, though. This thread was simply asking gus for his contribution as he is clearly about to leave, it wasn't an attack on tony. The reaction of 'something nice was said about gus, lets praise tony in a way that takes digs at gus' is exacerbating a divide amongst fans.

We can all be grateful for gus's contribution as he leaves, without the need to turn things into another gus v tony/barber/"the club" binfest.

You are quite right and I think some of our fans are completely mad if they cannot acknowledge the contribution that Gus made. However we would not have made this level of progress without Tony Bloom.

Some of my favourite Gus memories......

Charlton / Peterboro / Walsall - Away - just incredible memorable football matches.
Destruction of Palace at Home.
Bridcutt in the last minute
Tearing Portsmouth apart at Withdean
4-3 vs Dagenham
Doncaster Home


There are plenty of others........
The one-touch football....

Lets hope we continue to move forward.

I wouldn't no specifically why this endeavour to get rid of Gus and his posse began and now got to this. I don't think it was for joining in with a joyous song sung by thousands for moments and causing you any bother.
Like everyone, i have a friend at the Albion. Not in the high ranks with any deep insider knowledge, but when i nagged him for any news, he said that from his perspective most people rather liked Gus within the organisation. If Gus had a falling out with Barber and/or Bloom then that can obviously cause the workplace to be unpleasant for those involved in that ongoing spat. An argument that couldn't be resolved then got to the state of play we're currently in, in which probably everyone wants to divorce, whilst no one wants to feel hard done by or mistreated. That's understandable from both sides.
But, really, in this thread we're to just to say thank you for a truly wonderful few years, rather than taint it with spite or the idiocy of suggestion, as perhaps i just mildly made.

The board is capable of making mistakes and there is a possibility that they have made a monumental one. Pointing this out isn't a criticism of TB, as he isn't necessarily the one making these mistakes.

Whilst nobody can argue that some of our football has been outstanding over the last few years, it hasn't been without flaws, a work in progress you could say, I will say thanks to Gus for doing his best, I have no doubt at all that he put every effort possible into improving our team.

But you always had that feeling he was more interested in his own agenda, all the time we were improving this was fine but after the Palace game when he came out with those comments I went from putting up with Gus because we were all heading in the same direction, to having lost all respect for the man.

This was a time when I wanted to hear the manager come out with something dignified like "we regroup and come back even stronger next season" not the self serving crap that he came out with about hitting the roof and "I have to think about my future". Even if that is how he felt, he showed a complete lack of class by saying so live on TV, there is a time and a place, that definitely wasn't it!

I wonder how many of you Gus apologists, especially whoever said they had lost a bit of respect for the club, will still be backing him if Tony decides to step down due to the stress of recent events? We would then have had the very life support system that has allowed Gus to improve this team, switched off permanently!
