He was a decent lower-league manager.

Hit his career glass ceiling whilst in the Championship with us.

How odd to be upset by this. He was a great manager for us - which is beyond question. It didn't end well and I'm sure he regrets it but of course he deserves our applause and it was nice to be able to be there to symbolically thank him.
Not upset, just surprised after the “mixed” reception another great manager got on his return, more recently. Some fans will applaud anything/anyone with a connection with the club although Nathan Jones was quite rightly ignored today

Thanks for the explanation but for me, it'll take me a little more than patting his heart to make up for f***ing over our chairman and club, but each to their own :shrug:
This.

Poyet spoiled the last year or so with his tedious politicking through the media and flirting with other clubs whilst paid handsomely to fulfil a professional role for us. To cap it all, what a shit actor in that TV studio appearance.

Bloom ultimately lucked out with his departure, as he became an irritant for 6 other owners.

And I would expect Potter will probably get a good reception at some point in the future. Time is a great healer and it would be ridiculous not to acknowledge the good he did once the rawness of his departure has died down.

Yes he was a very silly boy with a massive ego, but he paid the ultimate price for his stupidity with the sack, and probably the end of what could have been a career at the very top in the game.

We must never forget that Gus Poyet was the man who led us out of the wilderness and into the promised land of the Premier League, with all the riches that that brings.
