will poyet be our manager still in the dug out for the first game of next season

[Trigger]

Hope not.

 

[Stuart Munday]

Not a chance.

 

[Hillian1]

100% No.

 

[Icy Gull]

He wouldn't appreciate the inevitable abuse from quite a few from the stands he'll get after a bad run if he comes back. Something he's never had to handle before either. Not sure it would be anything but a disaster waiting to happen knowing his frailty with accepting criticism

 

[Seagull Steve]

As we don't know the whole truth, not sure is the only way we can vote imo. I haven't and won't take sides until we know the truth, that's if we ever do know what went on.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

No.

 

[littlehampton seagull]

Could be a headline writer for the Argus this boy.

again I ask why are you such a prick

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Who on this thread has made any such claim?

I think this is pre-emptive, and given NSCs track record I'd say a good call. (Or is that speculation?)

 

[Icy Gull]

Have we actually got a dug out?

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

I f**king hope not.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Absolutely no chance whatsoever.

 

[c0lz]

No

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Have to vote not sure as I don't know the full story with every little detail. Anything else would be pure speculation

 

[ElectricNaz]

I genuinely hope not. He's left the club in a bad way, with no left back, potentially only two first team center backs if AEA doesn't sign, and two aging right backs. I'm genuinely of the opinion that he's bought in experienced aging players with a very short term view, and ultimately it hasn't paid off. Okay he's bought in some decent young attackers in his time, Noone, Buckley, Lua Lua, and also Bridcutt as a CM, but defensively it will need to be one hell of an upheaval next season. He's also spent his time with CMS, Ulloa, Vicente, Upson, Bridge, all players who are very good but not long term signings or signings of a manager who ever planned to be here for the long term project. I think he wants to go. Personal opinion and all that.

Has a suspension/legal dispute between a manager and a club ever taken this long before? Any examples?

Not exactly the same scenario, but Phil Brown and his assistant Brian Horton were put on gardening leave by Hull in March 2010. Iain Dowie was then recruited as de facto caretaker manager. Brown finally had his contract ended in June. So three months in total.
