problems piling up

glasfryn said:

when you lose the second best manager we have ever had who had the players playing like a dream most of the time (whatever you might think about his demise or why it happened) there was passion in the club, where is that now?
when you lose players like Leo, Liam,and other essential players to the team.
when you have a manager who has not managed in the English leagues before
put that together with the fact it is the most expensive club to watch in the championship
and that we get the highest attendances in the championship, but never seem to be able to get the better players
when we have a Chairman who is a professional gambler who does seem to take the FFP way out rather than gamble that we might be able to get to the premiership
I have thought before that his gamble may be in the youth and a decent training ground, and that is a gamble if we visit the big "R" and that is not unlikely (Portsmouth, Coventry and even Luton)

all this
what do you really expect?

Whether people care to admit it or not losing Poyet was a MASSIVE loss for the club, regardless of circumstances. Ok, he had a bad day at the office today but I am sure he will keep Sunderland up and at least the guy had something about him. Garcia is pretty much nondescript.

Injury problems piling up is the issue IMO.

IMHO that half-hearted display v Palace in the second leg of the play-off semis knocked the stuffing out of the club. The players haven't recovered, the fans haven't recovered, and the self-serving c*nt of a manager at the time didn't give a shit. He had his exit strategy already planned. Playing the ball on the ground isn't exactly rocket science, even Fat Sam finally realises that, and having the luxury of the purse-strings loosened with the new stadium permission in the bag gave Poyet the luxury of a financial freedom none of the previous half dozen Albion managers ever had. In the end it was all about him, to the detriment of the Albion. Looking forward immensely to him imploding and doing a Di Canio before Xmas

You really need to move on.

Poyet was great for us and he will do well as a manager. Wishing that he does badly is really very sad.

The bloke's a fruitcake. The smarter on here predicted it would end in spectacular tears. the same people will be giving the same confident prediction for the Sunderland gig. He's Di Canio #2 and it will be funny as all fck to watch.
