Why do some of us still still say " Gus " when talking about the ex manager as if hes a friend or something ? why not " Poyet " now ? just asking
This.Because some still like him? I have nothing against him, shame how it ended and it was right to end it seems but that doesn't stop me being massively thankful for the ****ing amazing last 3 years. It would be childish to ignore all the good work merely for how it ended.

This.
Probably the best manager we've ever had.

No...that accolade goes to Alan Mullery. Div 3 to Div 1, followed by survival at the highest level.
I would personally disagree with that as I think the jumps he made were well beyond "steady".
Season 1 - avoid relegation
Season 2 - CHAMPIONS
Season 3 - mid table after challenging for playoffs
Season 4 - Playoffs.
I'd say that was brilliant progression.
Maybe I've picked up too strongly on one of your words (which you didn't mean as literally as it appeared). Either way, I'm not arguing with you as it's clear you also appreciate what he did.
I do appreciate what he achieved but wouldn't class it as brilliant.
How does it compare with Paul Lambert taking Norwich straight through two divisions and then consolidating in the PL. Thats pretty damn impressive. Nigel Adkins got Saints straight through as well after the ' ten point deduction ' season. Poyet's feat was to turn us around so quickly, from Div 1 strugglers.
Maybe its a case of expectation. Norwich and Soton expected and demanded PL football. A lot of our fans seem happy with Championship football and therefore to consolidate in the upper reaches, represents high achievement in their eyes.
Each to their own.
