Could you envisage Poyet's time at the Albion being the zenith of his managerial career?

Not sure, but i would be amazed if he got carte blanche to do everything his way anywhere else quite so easily as he did with us...

I think he will eventually have a run with a middle of the road Prem team. But whether he will get Chelsea/Spuds/Zaragoza is another matter.

Would "having a run" really be better than what he achieved here? Unless he can impose his style on a team with some success I'm not sure that managing a struggling Premier League team could be seen as an improvement on the panache he brought to the Albion.

He won't get a prem team

All the time he can't change tactics mid game, he's not getting a decent job in England. He'll have to go and prove himself at another Championship or League One club IMO before any respectable Premiership side gives him a chance.

He'll join Palace when they sack Holloway in November, and his fall will be complete.

He will get a prem job, but what represents success
..Wherever he goes, I will give him 18 mths tops, if he is lucky. He will spend a shed load of money and fall out with the star names. Poyet has to be the main man and just how many clubs are there in the prem, where the manager is the star attraction....Two maybe, Arsenal & Chelsea..........he will never manage a top four side in this country.

I think he'll get a middling Prem job in the Autumn, do Ok, then get a job in Spain or South America.
You utter misery. Regardless what has happened, regardless how you fell about the man... he's done wonders for us. Perhaps yes its time for him to move on but 'Frankly, who cares'... sod off, that's wrong
He'll manage Crawley soon.

We'll need a Zenith Data System to stay up to date over the validity of this possibility.

I'm pretty confident he'll manage at a level higher than we'll reach. How high that is, I'm not sure yet.
Dunno. Alan Mullery and Micky Adams were both tipped for big things because of what they did at Brighton but neither did. Maybe Poyet has an advantage being foreign and thus has an edge on 'traditional' (i.e. neanderthal) British coaches, but with managers, like at all levels of professional football, far more fail than succeed.
IF he learns from his mistakes I think he's got a good chance. I remember Gordon Strachan (better than Mullery or Adams but another manager who never quite made the top) saying that he was a better manager when Coventry sacked him than when they employed him. If Poyet has that level of self-awareness there's hope for him yet, but it's not a 'gimme'.
