It's G-Day!

Apparently the meeting will take place away from The Amex. Maybe our promised land has become an away game for Gus?

Anyone else think "Little Chef"?

Just a feeling no more, but i dont think gus and his team will show, citing prejudgement, unhappy with make up of panel etc. Club will sack and gus will sue, but being media savvy we will hear from him bout it being unfair, i was about to sign messi on quid a week and club said no etc. Heaps pressure on the club since we know how many out there take his word as fact. Will we then settle prior to court case.

Sounds plausible. I suspect that we've come too far to be guaranteed a quick, clean end to all this. The mopping up may well take some time, though I guess we're now very close to the point where Gus ceases to be an employee.

Didn't they say week last GP had turned down an offer ? They know nothing.

I thought that too, but couldn't remember if it was in the Argus or just posted on here.

It was in the argus, and covered on here, where I highlighted it was "the argus understands" so might not be true, only to be told it was journalistic code for "someone at the club has told us"

I replied a little further on explaining how with this case, so many different things are leaking out, with different 'high level, inscrutable sources' saying contradictory things, that just having someone at the club telling you doesn't make it true.


Edit: and this should really be a sign to everyone on here who have high placed sources, that they (the sources) might not actually know the real, whole truth.

The thing I find most remarkable about all this is how successful the club have been in their obvious strategy to turn the fans against Gus, regardless of whatever the facts of the matter may be.

I was Gus all the way but then I heard his post match comments after the palace match. To be fair, it was his reaction that turned the fans in my opinion.

I don't think the fans have turned against gus in any great number. I think the majority who haven't turned yet are waiting to see what happens before jumping on him, but there is a vocal minority who are making the most noise at the moment, with many of them (thou not all) having been itching to have a reason to criticise him for a while.

Same here. I was already traumatised by the outcome of that match (mainly the 2nd half) but that interview was the sh*t icing on a very cr@ppy cake.

I don't think there's been an obvious strategy to turn fans one way or the other. The board must have felt extremely strongly about Poyet to embark on this course. They knew the risks, and knew the high regard in which the manager has been held by supporters. They knew the size of the potential pay-off.

This isn't about some mere clash of personalities. At least, I don't believe so. It must run much deeper.

The club has been remarkably leak-proof for the past month and I don't get any sense that journalists have had secret briefings.

The fans could see for themselves that something was badly wrong within minutes of the second Palace game. It didn't need any extra push from Barber, Bloom, or the club's publicity team. Quite how big that problem is, maybe most of us will never know.

In the Little Chef at Hickstead maybe?

Absolutely this. The ones who moaned while we played superb football are LOVING it at the moment.

The silent majority are invariably silent and the vocal minority are definitely VOCAL. I've always found in customer facing situations that whatever the outcome the silent majority stay quiet and the vocal minority get even louder.

got a feeling this mess with gus poyet could go on for another week but i hope i am wrong

 

[Wilko 1901]

Tuc Tuc for Gus

 

[Bra]

Lets be honest neither side looks great in this whatever the outcome and there are tough times ahead for both. Imagine how it will play out if we start badly which we could after this. Pro gus will be saying it would not have happened under him and the others will be blaiming him for causing this problem in the first place and delaying all close season. I do feel for the new manager he will be arriving at a difficult time with opinions divided and it will be him who gets my support whatever the fallout from today.
