Slightly bitter against your old messiah or fair reflection?

I think she over scores him on a couple... Genuinely think you'd be better off with Pulis.

He's lucky to get a 4 in the youth management section IMHO.
She also appears to be speculating wildly about is departure. The truth is there's only a handful of people that KNOW what happened. I agree that Pulis is safer but I think Gus could do a good job up there.

What is this 'Vital Brighton' of which you speak?

How is Oscar working out for you? Would you have preferred stick with Mr Poyet?

Only time will tell as far as Oscar is concerned. But no, after his behavior (reported and rumoured) on 'that day' back in May, I was personally very glad to see the back of Mr Poyet.
Gus did great things for Brighton but I think it's fair to say that he had reached a tipping point in his relationships at the club, both with the board and the fans. After the Di Canio affair I'm not sure he's what Sunderland need right now but I could be wrong. I often am.

I think Poyet has been bloody rude. Not one thank you or apology to the supporters. We shouldn't have to lost to Palace at home. He is responsible for that because of his attitude that evening.

One day, in about 300 years, someone will write an appraisal of GP that doesn't include the words "no plan b".

Looked like that was written by one of the hard-of-thinking numpties from NSC.
Utter gibberish that 'report'.

Indeed.
You will never see your defence or keeper play a long ball, even if it means putting the team under pressure if being pressed
This shows the memory of a goldfish. Greer could play a brilliant cross field diagonal ball to Buckley who would be free to take on the keeper. Ankergren got into trouble with the fans for hoofing the ball upfield when we were beating Leeds, only for their keeper to do exactly the same thus losing the lead and drawing the game.
There are many more inaccuracies and guesses, but it's an opinion.
Gus Poyet led us to our highest league finish in 30 years. He got us promoted as league champions. He had us playing an entertaining brand of football. Like any manager he presided over highs and lows - it was after all his first job in management and he was learning.
He did engage mouth first and brain second, and let himself down when he did so.
All in all, Gus has a vision for how he wants football to be played, and it's something I'd rather follow than the Pulis vision.
It all ended sourly, and deep down I am sure every party regrets that.
Now we have Oscar, and I'm more than happy to get behind him. Naturally the jury is out, and we will lose more matches before we find our feet with him. He is attacking minded - and some might say more direct than GP. Of course, football fans are emotional, and just as you'll find BHA fans ready to dismiss Gus Poyet, you'll already find BHA fans ready to do the same to OG.

Sadly IMO I think we will regret the day we got rid of Gus Poyet. Hope I am proved wrong though.

Who are the youngsters that we had that are now doing so well?
Is Oscare doing better in bringing youngsters through?
Great post
Short, even medium term YES, long term NO.
Nope - we've just had more injuries. As soon as Crofts and Andrews were back Ince was (correctly) back on the bench.
