Just waiting on assurances regarding finances, Greek economy being rather suspect, though I hear the owners are Serbian

 

[Easy 10]

Are the cashpoints working over there yet ?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Jesus. We bail them out and they go spending their new found lolly on these 3.

 

[fat old seagull]

Please, before we slaughter Gus, would we be where we are now without him. As a then division one club, he was all we could afford and HE took us to within a few points of the promised land, and then blew it!

No need to slaughter him....he does that very well himself! And yes we would be at least where we are, this club is not over valued being a good side in the Championship. We are at least where we should be.

 

[OzMike]

Many golf courses there?

 

[Hampster Gull]

Good luck Gus

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Are the cashpoints working over there yet ?

Yup, full of German euros.

Had he been more patient, done the business [no not that!] at Brighton, he could have been hot property. I find it hard to imagine him having anything but a modest future now.

Are you saying he has hit the ceiling?

Former Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has agreed to become the new manager of Greek side AEK Athens.

The 47-year-old was sacked by the Black Cats in March after winning just one of his last 12 Premier League matches.

Poyet, who previously managed Brighton, had been linked with Aston Villa following the departure of Tim Sherwood on 25 October.

The deal, which AEK say will be signed on Friday, will run until the summer of 2016.

AEK are third in the Greek Super League after winning five of their opening eight games.

 

[Leyton Gull]

'Mr Poyet I understand there's interest from some Turkish clubs, not that you'd be tempted away of course, given things are going so well here at AEK.'
'Oh really! That's interesting. The AEK fans understand I'm an honest guy. I don't pretend to be loyal. If an offer from another club comes along I might take it. That's why the fans love me.'
…………
'I've just heard you've been sacked Mr Poyet'
'Oh no! I had no idea. I really loved the club and the fans. I'm devastated'
'You really did not know you had been sacked'
'I had no idea! I will talk to the club. I hope they change their mind. There must be some mistake. I'm really hurt'
……….
'They just told us you'd been threatening to walk out for the last few months!'
To be continued …..

Crafty Gus, only signing a deal until summer 2016, by which time the Chelsea, Man City or Bayern job might be available.

What happened to their last manager then? Can't have been sacked with a record like that, surely?

Apparently he resigned after a 4-0 home defeat to Olympiacos. The shame of losing to a local rival maybe

Good move by AEK, as well, with his record for being sacked.
