Poyet to Stadium of Light

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Lay, lay and lay again.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Gus won't go, why? Because he would have a heart attack every time Bramble would try and play the ball out from the back. You've got more chance of finding a pink unicorn than you have of making Bramble a cultured footballer.

Whilst not wanting him to leave and the fact it would potentially enormously mess us up, I think it would be more understandable than Reading.

Would be a great job for Poyet.

Perfect 'stepping stone' to a one of his more coveted positions. Sunderland are a 'proper' club, with decent support, facilities and potential.

On the negative, near relegation and would he really want to move to the North East?

Di Canio an early favourite!

Agreed, it is the perfect job for Poyet, the only issue is the location. Sunderland are a massive club with a huge fanbase. Sounds like they've got someone else lined up though, thankfully.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Why....whenever a job becomes available,is Gus linked to it....he will go...maybe at the end of this season....no man is bigger than the club...we'll miss you Gus...thank you,goodbye and wish you luck....till that happens he is there to get us through the play-offs.

 

[Rugrat]

Please let it be this goon

We have as good a chance of being in the prem next year as Sunderland do. 7 games to go to get us into play offs - stay and finish the job.

 

[Icy Gull]

Has he gone for the interview yet


As long as he sees the season out with us I'll wish him good luck wherever he chooses to go. It's all a bit inevitable now and getting pretty boring tbh. Let's hope our next manager wants to be here for the long term and doesn't keep touting himself. Although in fairness Sunderland is not one of the many teams I've heard Gus wax lyrical about.

 

[vegster]

Sunderland need a battling,combative manager with a proven record of doing well at small clubs with big ambitions, ideally suit Colin from Leeds. Or failing that, Steve Bruce again....

 

[Ernest]

Only 9/1 on Betfair now

 

[clippedgull]

I'm tipping Brian McDermott for the Sunderland job.

Good young manager.

 

[Icy Gull]

I thought Martin O'Neil was too although not young. Very difficult job it would seem.

 

[algie]

I'm tipping Brian McDermott for the Sunderland job.

Good young manager.

Never in a million years

 

[pasty]

Cue the Martin O Neill fan on NSC who keeps saying he did well at

Celtic .... A 2 horse race, and their new owner then outspent Rangers eg Sutton, Hartson

Villa .... Big money on Reo-C, Harewood, Delph, Hutton, Curtis Davis, Luke Young etc
A net spend of £120m they didn't have.


Not a great manager in recent times.

Been saying that for quite a while. I've never really rated him and just don't get the esteem in which he is held. Thank God he got nowhere the England job when he was being touted for it by all and sundry.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Only 9/1 on Betfair now

meaning they've had a few more bets from punters watching SSN

 

[gripper stebson]

The press chaps on Sunday Supplement were all keen to push Poyet as Sunderland's long term saviour.

I think, as many have said on here, that' he'll be off in the summer if we don't go up.

Step up then the next progressive young manager to use us as a stepping stone to a better job!!

 

[Acker79]

Here we go again. Gus listed at bookies, speculation on NSC, speculation spills over to social media, press pick up on social media "buzz" and spin it into Gus being linked with the job, press reports fuel more speculation which fuels more press reports before Gus stays here, although is crucified by Brighton fans for "considering the job", regardless of how seriously he was actually looking at it (or if he even was). How long till someone questions Gus' loyalty?

The blame is not all on social media. Gus is a young manager with a bright future, he has a promotion under his belt in his first full year in management, he is a notable name in football, managing us when we are getting a fair bit of notice in football with the new stadium, and top half of the championship run for these last two seasons.

Football journalist will always look at him as a potential candidate, regardless of what fans say on twitter. Even if they don't think he will be the manager, he is an archetype, they can point to him as the sort of manager a team would be after and others will understand what that means.

They were discussing it on Sunday supplement this morning, and whether Sunderland would go for a firefighter type manager to turn their free fall around, or if they would go for a young manager with potential, who will be there for the long term, like poyet. One of the problems mentioned with Martin o'neil was his reliance on home nation players, and how other teams were unearthing cheaper gems. Gus has done pretty well signing some lesser known gems from abroad, so it's another reason they would suggest him.

Agree with all that and would add that we just have to accept out position within football. If we have a manager or a player who does very well they will leave for better. Not much we will ever be able to do about that...

It's the same for probably 88 of the 92 league clubs though so we are not alone.

It's the perfect club for Gus to go to.
