...beating down Gus's door now he's available and compensation-free?

You mean all the clubs that have managers in place but might have considered a free and available Gus if they were looking?

Was that the plan?.....Get himself and his team sacked by refusing to carry out essential duties (i e the retained list) Then as a free agent during the Summer just wait for the juicy job offers that would pour in.....

Trouble was that he was only suspended and any potential employer faced a protracted legal battle to get him. And anyway the jobs went elsewhere .

Now, he is unemployed and there are no current attractive jobs - in England anyway...Just my musings on the matter

He's well set for the clubs that sack in a panic in the autumn. Personally, I expect him to find himself at a Championship club with deep pockets and ambition. If teh bet was available, I would have some money on him showing up at QPR after Redknapp storms out.

Well if no management jobs appear we can expect to see him on the tv pundit sofa quite a bit.

How very cynical of you, as if Gus could be that calculating.

God, I hope not. If TB lost patience with Poyets moaning about insufficient budget, and the need to sign more players, then I can't see him even considering 'Arry.

And I don't. To build a Gus team takes time, commitment and personnel changes. Championship clubs with deep pockets want to get promoted this year - not in three years time. That was why the BHA project was so perfect for Gus but tragically he could not see that.
