Official Statement regarding Gus Poyet on Website NOW *merged*

[Deadly Danson]

We don't know anything 100%.

I know what I heard after the palace game from Gus' mouth. That alone for me would warrant an apology. At a time when we were hurting the most he comes out and talks about himself. Again. The speculated issues following this just add to my opinion.

Doesn't surprise me at all. It's the Gus Poyet show, what did people expect. Anyone still want him back Just shows you how much he cares about the club that has put him on the map and us fans. Not to mention the chairman, who backed him all the way....Really showing his true colours now. I'd be surprised if chairmen all over the country aren't very wary of Poyet now. But then perhaps that's the problem, he isn't in as much demand as he likes to think he is and has nowhere to go. So he is just causing as much unrest as possible.

Completely agree. The man has an ego the size of Mourinho's but doesn't have the managerial ability to back it up, so has decided to have a hissy fit instead and ruin our chances for next season.

Haven't read the whole thread but surely this is another breach in his contract, how many times can he breach his contract before he is sacked without a payout??

The only thing wrong with that interview was the timing.

On my ignore list as you are a ****

 

[Dandyman]

For a start, it might be worth looking into what the 'disputed legal reasons' are...

Interesting - it suggests that he might be disputing the legal basis of the disciplinary process. That seems very high risk to me from his point of view.

He was Confederations Cup last night.

He's booked in for this Sunday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0319kfb

This is his focus, in Manchester. Lineker probed him last night (set-up or not) and will enjoy doing so again at the weekend.

And this Thursday!

The other part of this which no one else seems to have picked up is that Tanno's investigation is complete and he is cleared, Gus is complete and he didn't show. Charlie's is STILL ongoing.

Indeed, It appears Tanno did nothing wrong; the club got it WRONG. It worries me that eventually it will be the same case re Poyet. How often do you hear of a manager being suspended for ONE thing, all of a sudden that none of his teams fans are aware of, let alone EIGHT.

And WTF has Charlie done?

Unreal

The only thing wrong with that interview was the timing.

So you think that him having a pop about his budget was justified, despite him being given the means to put together one of the best squads we've ever had?

 

[Blazing Apostle]

Can you think of any club EVER having this much problem getting rid of a manager

I know what I heard after the palace game from Gus' mouth. That alone for me would warrant an apology. At a time when we were hurting the most he comes out and talks about himself. Again. The speculated issues following this just add to my opinion.

Saying you want to make sure the clubs ambition is still in line with yours before committing your future to them is shameful behaviour that warrants a public apology? Give over.

I think the outcome is going to be the same. The club and Gus know the situation and who holds what hand. The club did not have to release that statement today as i don't think to many of us were expecting a decision till later on in the week. Seems a way to drum up fan support before the inevitable happens. I think they know Gus is leaving and for those on the fence the big headline being Gus fails to appear will drum up further support for the Bloom camp. Very well played by Bloom and Co.
New manager in next Monday is my bet. Gus gone on Friday.

 

[glasfryn]

can we all please calm down until we know the truth thank you

 

[HenryC]

...couldn't disagree more if you said we should merge with Crystal Palace...

Now there's a thought... Palace get a new ground and we get PL and Wurzel... actually on second thoughts...

 

[SingitLoud]

Echo Echo!!

That's it, my personal GUSOMETER has finally reached ZERO.

Thanks for the memories now just **** off

This now is really taking the piss out of us! If it is not resolved by the end of the week i am calling for protests!

Without knowing the details behind the case - not turning up is just pathetic. Even if you dispute the reason why your being disciplined - you still attend to put your point across.

It seems Mr Poyets bed had well and truly been made.....

It is not 'pathetic'. It's what he has been advised to do by his lawyers. They have obviously told him it is in his best interests legally not to attend.

This, Its not nice when a manager shits on a club , we know the feeling well .

 

[bristolseagull]

stick him on gardening leave and get Oscar in asap.

 

[Deadly Danson]

The only thing wrong with that interview was the timing.

And for that alone he should apologise and I say this again as someone who was firmly in the Gus camp. If any of the speculated things that Gus is supposed to have done following that are true then it just reinforces my opinion and now showing contempt for the club AGAIN by not turning up (possibly twice) for hearings when he knows the effect it may have on our season has just cemented my views. I honestly can't see how anyone can defend him any more.

Well, there is that possibility, but I don't know that it's that...
