I am sad he has gone - however I felt from the promotion campaign that when he did go it would be either in very fractious circumstances or in a colossal South American flounce.
Let's be clear on one thing - he has no hesitation in driving the media circus to his own benefit. As we all have seen he has consitently questioned the financial backing, the annual budgets, the areas of control that he wanted under him - all the while peddling the speculation that he was only here until something better came up.
We managed to try and understand if that something was Spurs, Chelsea or another top top job.
However I was getting sick and tired of it being anyone - Bloom has made it clear that he would allow Poyet to talk to any club he wanted to. Completely transparent.
Post-Palace debacle and all of that thrown back in his face - or at least that is how it would appear.
Just for a moment imagine if Bloom or Barber had decided to do something similar - constantly referring to other managers they would like to have in charge of the club one day in the future.
Oh yes I think Mr Redknapp, Mr Ferguson, Mr Pulis etc etc etc would be a great manager here one day and we would be delighted if they wanted to come and manage.......
I truly feel that we have been played well and truly by Gus in recent months and he had always envisaged some sort of exit.
Sad it has happened but frankly relieved that this part of the episode has at least been sorted.
Now on to the deal that both parties cut to move on completely.
