[Football] Gus Poyet Interview

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

This could go one of two ways.

Will Poyet intimate that PB was to blame for Muzza’s departure.

That would be spectacular even by Poyet’s standards, it happened 12 months before Barber even joined us.

Apologies, I meant TB on all controversial issues with Poyet.

 

[Weststander]

He addresses this point in a bit of detail.

Does Poyet talk about the summer 2011 transfer budget? He tried to pin Muzza’s departure on Bloom with a “two budgets” argument in an Argus interview a year or two later when Muzza had torn up the Championship for Palace.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think people will find Gus much different in this interview. It was fascinating, he was open, gave his thoughts on everything, and we tried to ask as many questions as possible. His ego shone through still, but it was genuinely interesting to hear his comments on a lot of the issues, as he’s not spoken on them before. Aside from his departure, we talked about the early days, Adam El-Abd, Vicente, the Van Dijk possibility, Glenn Murray and a whole host of less contentious issues.

 

[Kosh]

Awesome - can’t wait to listen to this. The Ritchie Blackmore of football management - sublime talent, wilful, driven, ruthless and ambitious. Still, at times, you can forgive a genius his frailties.

His football was just beautiful, starting with destroying Southampton at St Mary’s - trouncing Blackpool at the Amex... so many more brilliant memories. Sure it burned out, but better that than to fade away ... sorry Chris.

I suspect Tony has long searched for his Poyet - the ego... and heck it looks like GP are the key initials. Alas, I fear, if you take out the ‘star’ status and the strong (very strong) personality, well you’re pretty gosh darn unlikely to see Vicente mkII any time soon... another reason I will always love Gus. Again, it ended sourly... putting two stars like that in a club of our size hmmmm Blackmore and Gillan spring to mind once again.

All good stories deserve embellishment, I’m sure Gus will deliver !

Into the Fire.

Sorry to push, did he talk frankly about Muzza’s departure?

 

[Brian Fantana]

Sorry to push, did he talk frankly about Muzza’s departure?

Yes, he did. Talks fairly specifically about the respective offers Muzza received from us and Palace.

 

[Weststander]

Yes, he did. Talks fairly specifically about the respective offers Muzza received from us and Palace.

Cheers.

That’ll be interesting for me, I know the figures from that, as through work I knew an Albion director at that time. That was before TB and PB tightened up on confidentiality and leaks!

Bald, wearing a wig and a wizard's hat? **** me

 

[jamie the seagull]

Loved watching the Albion with him as Boss.
Handled the post match of the Palace match wrong (although saw elsewhere that he only turned up for the 2nd leg an hour before ko ?).

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Says it all really, I can’t stand the man, he sullied any love for him I had, with his outlandish team talk before the Palace play off.
Complete imbecile, we should/could have beaten them... he basically gave them a bye...

Unforgivable, I won’t be listening.

[Silverhatch]

If Murray had stayed, Gus would have taken us to the PL. He knows it. Bloom knows it.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The bottom line with Gus is that his mangerial record in the last 5 years is pretty ordinary. He can talk a good game, he is passionate and popular but he imploded at just the wrong time with us, that's his nature and he will never change.

That said, he did a brilliant job in taking us out of League 1 and establishing us as a bona fide Championship promotion-contending club, so he'll aways have a special place in Albion history.

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Not quite the scoop I thought it was going to be, but I can see ees compillicaaateed

Biggest indicator for me is he's not heard from ANYONE at the club, that, to me, demonstrates the players feel the club were in the right, or rather, he wasn't.

 

[blue'n'white]

Just finished listening to the podcast - very interesting.

Thanks

 

[Superphil]

Enjoyed that, thankyou. Such a shame the way his time with us ended.
