Seems like a very candid interview to me. Whilst I agree there is an element of 'it's never my fault' with Poyet, he is right that there is clearly something deeply wrong with that club. They've had a succession of successful, high profile managers, and not one of them has come close to making a success of it. I reckon he's right, they do need to make big changes, and if they give Gus the backing that he needs, he'll turn them around. The problem is that he wants full control, like Ferguson had at Man Utd, and I think that's unrealistic in modern football. Certainly for an up and coming manager in the Premier League, anyway.
Good post. The key bit is highlighted. I expect Gus will receive his P45 along with a relegation on his CV: he's had plenty of time to sort Sunderland out and backing in the transfer market too, especially in Jan. He has even managed to get rid of Sunderland's DoF. In other words, he has had his chance and blown it. Compare and contrast with Pulis at Palar$e. Oh dear.
