Everybody has signed Bruno on a free.
Not once, in his career, did any club put their hand in their pocket to attract St Bruno.

I was waiting to post this then bamm. What a shambles of an article. Managed to get in a dubious Chris Holroyd signing which I would have assumed was in place before we signed Gus, but miss out major signings and club legends.

Some of the ratings are a bit of a joke. Even back then, the strikes we brought in weren't prolific, Ulloa being the honourable exception.

Which, if true
, simply goes to prove that nobody in football, professional or amateur, at whatever level, has the slightest idea what they are on about

What do you have to do to get less than a 6?
Those ratings gave me the biggest laugh of the lockdown.

Did he sign anyone? I thought by then it was all down to the recruitment team.

Ryan Harley and Will Hoskins get a 6...

Think it depended on how good they were. If they proved a hit then they were a GP signing, if they were a flop, that was down to the recruitment team.

He was incredible for us and it only went wrong at the very end. Am sure a chunk of why we didn't do better against palarse those two games was down to him already being in a wobble though. Who knows what might have been and no point guessing. He stitched himself up as much as the club and while we and many of the players have gone upward since then, he's collapsed and never done as well as he did with us. Not on a Chris H level purely because of the childish ending else he'd be on same level for sure even having not taken us to Prem. He got us promoted and we were consitantly right up there in the Champ from the start. The utter calamities that followed showed how tough it was.

We know for a fact that some of those players only came here because Poyet was the manager though, don’t we?
Such a shame how it all ended, hero to zero in one post match interview.

For a fact? Well, maybe a few said he was one of the reasons they joined the club, none of them had specific links to him did they? But I bet also that brand new, sold out, stadium had something to do with them signing as well.

When you say calamaities, ie plural, what are you referring to? We had one really poor half season under Hyypia. Play-offs under Garcia, near miss and play-offs with Hughton before promotion.
Wasn't there a link with Wayne Bridge ? Same agent or something perhaps?
(Yes there is - same agency - M2NS)

Casper Ankergren was a keeper at Leeds when Poyet was assistant manager with Wise. Another signing this article has missed.

We’ll have to agree to differ, Poyet was an absolute charismatic charmer when he chose to be and got players here that wouldn’t have even considered coming her for 99% of our managers. Bridge, Bruno Vicente and even CMS imo for example
He was adored by all and sundry here too until it went tits up. I remember being slagged off on here as needy when I suggested he was over touting himself at every opprotunity.
