Sunderland announcement today,,,

[sparkie]

Can prem teams loan players from the championship...I honestly don't know.

Yes. But only in the January transfer window. They can't use 93 day loans.

That's Bridcutt gone in January then and not this week.

1/8 & 1/10 with the bookies...certainty to get it...Just after Fulham have won a game, did Jol have one last game to keep it?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He can't necessarily tighten the defence within days or weeks though. He joined us at the start of November 2009, but it was towards the end of February 2010 before he really had an effect. The big game for Gus was Charlton away on a Tuesday night, which we won 2-1 that season. Before that we were in just as much trouble in/around the relegation zone as we had been all season, but we played really well that night and it seemed as though his idea had finally got through and we never looked back. We took some batterings in his first three months. The trouble for him at Sunderland is that he can't afford to not have an impact for three months. In fact, he will find it extremely tough to keep them up if he even goes one month without an upturn in fortunes.

Our full backs were the biggest problem which is why he got Calderon in and Painter on loan in January. His first two games were wins at Southampton and Wycombe, then he had 2 wins, 1 draw out of 6 games in December.

Very much doubt oatway and poyet will ever team up again.

I've always thought he was a **** anyway, sticking with Poyet and not the club confirms my suspicions.

How to rewrite history

He was sacked by BHAFC along with GP - he didn't have much choice in 'sticking' with him or not!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Correct, and Poyet wouldn't take him to Sunderland in a month of Sundays.

Lets see.

I could do with some extra Sundays.

 

[Canonman]

Sorry half asleep, where does it say Gus is getting the Sunderland job?

 

[Icy Gull]

He can't necessarily tighten the defence within days or weeks though.

That depends entirely on how good the current defenders are at Sunderland and if they can take on board the idea of hanging onto the ball. I imagine a Premier League player is going to take to it much better than a 3rd division defender without many ball skills.

 

[spring hall convert]

I suspect that Poyet had a hand in getting Oatway in at Charlton as he does have contacts there. That's just my opinion.

His boy plays there doesn't he?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

His boy plays there doesn't he?

Yes, and I think it has been said that Poyet rented his house from the Charlton chairman?

 

[Rugrat]

[kevtherev]

oh REALLY.

You KNOW that do you?

Who knows, what anyone knows. I'm surprised that no one has slated me for starting this thread, as I haven't heard on the radio or ssn that an appointment is expected. I know a lot of stuff that I wouldn't share on here as the people who abuse you for sharing information are the ones who ruin it for everyone else....I would be totally stunned if Poyet took Oatway to Sunderland. Charlie was Poyet's link with the Albion, to a certain extent he needed him here. There is no place for him at Sunderland. I thought everyone had realized Poyet only looks out for number 1.

 

[Canonman]

Oh there, sorry.

He was suspended along with gp, reportedly for different reasons, and his case was settled independently of Gus's and Charlie settled with the club by mutual consent.

Though, to the general point, Charlie wasn't officially cleared, did he refuse to turn on gus and decide to agree to leave rather than be sacked, or was he gone regardless? I don't think we know.

 

[5mins-from-amex]

I am glad he is not our manager, but for some reason I hope that he does well at sunderland and keeps them up, and I think that he will.

 

[Mellotron]

That's the night the Gus success story began.

Ish. A number of us could see what he was trying to instill weeks before then.
