BOF Posted September 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2013 I think it's a good choice too. A young up and coming manager in my view and I think he'll do well. Lacking a CV/portfolio and being young often come hand in hand but you have to start somewhere and a league title, funding or otherwise, is a good thing. He has at the very least shown he can motivate and organise a team and has done so with dignity and no fireworks. That at least makes him very different from the hilarity that he is replacing. Although hopefully Sunderland is too big a mess and he ends up 'doing well' somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Any idea why he got the boot from Brighton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2013 Any idea why he got the boot from Brighton? He may or may not have been the one who took a shit on the Crystal Palace changing room floor during the promotion playoffs whereupon an internal investigation deemed it appropriate to sack him while saying that "in order to ensure and maintain confidentiality and dignity throughout this process, no further details of the disciplinary or appeal hearings would be released at this time." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Re Tamuff_villa The reason for Poyet's sacking has not been revealed by either party, with Brighton saying the matter would stay confidential "to ensure and maintain confidentiality and dignity" after the former Chelsea midfielder's unsuccessful appeal against his dismissal. Gross misconduct, neither have revealed the reason. BOF beat me to it ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 i dont like Gus Poyet so really hope Sunderland crash and burn now. His defending of Suarez was disgusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 So he is the kind of person that may have taken a shit on an opponents dressing floor, then despite his employers keeping the reasoning for the sacking secret to protect his reputation and dignity vows to sue them, he also defends a racist cheat for biting, has had just one managerial appointment in the lower leagues and now people think he'll be a success at Sunderland . No, can't see it myself its got all the hallmarks of another train wreck. Time will tell I spose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 He can`t do a worse job than DeCanio. Can he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 He can`t do a worse job than DeCanio. Can he? Mate when a lot of people (including Sunderland fans) think AM would have been a improvement on di crazy one, it is my opinion that no one could do a worse job than di canio. What I would say is that this (should it go through) appointment has surprised me. As tamuff_villa kind of alluded to, this is a another guy that could go "one way or another" a risk if you will. After the last train crash I'd have thought they would be looking for a safe pair of hands so to speak. Ballsy appointment imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Poyet actually reminds me slightly of Di Canio. I think Poyet is also pretty crazy in his own way. Another gamble IMO, although not on the same scale as the Di Canio gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Slighty ot, but any man that defends the use of the word nigger, is, imo mad as a box of frogs. Di canio got slated for his fascist views, I wonder if poyet will be equally slated for his defence of calling someone a nigger? Sadly, I think not.

SikhInTrinity Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Honestly think Poyet should have waited before taking the job due to their tough run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I think not.That word wasn't used. The word used was the Spanish term 'negrito' and the ensuing confusion/discussion was over the precise connotations of the word's colloquial meaning in every day Spanish usage. Suarez's argument being that it was a non-offensive term akin to calling someone 'pal' or 'buddy'. Why would a manager take a dump on the floor of an opposing team's changing room?!When you gotta go.

Fair point mate I didn't know that. What I would say though, given the argument, pal or buddy doesn't seem to fit with the occasion. But I may be wrong. Also I'd add, that if the colloquial meaning was "mate" why did he recieve a ban? Edited September 26, 2013 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as im aware (could be wrong) there is no official statement on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
