    In all honesty I think Ashley has proved he couldn't give two hoots about PR - he knows he doesn't have to, he's too clever for the morons called NUFC supporters. They will even be vocal about the fact how ever many times he arse ****s it won't stop them giving his business all their money.

    At least now we might get to see what Nacho Gonzalez is really like when Wisey brings him back. <ok>

    Can anyone tell me what Poyet has achieved for anyone to think he'd be great for us? On top of that if the little poison dwarf Wise ever came back he'd be lynched and thrown off the Tyne Bridge,

    Guy Poyet has been sacked as manager of Championship club Brighton but plans to appeal against the decision.
    The 45-year-old was told of his fate by BBC Match of the Day host Mark Chapman while appearing as a pundit on Sunday's live Confederations Cup coverage.
    Poyet was suspended by the Seagulls in May, with the club stating that they plan to appoint an interim manager pending the outcome of the appeal.
    "I've still had no communication from the club," Poyet said at half-time.
    After the game, he added: "I got an e-mail that I suppose is information at 9:03 and another one from my solicitors; they are now taking care of everything, so I still haven't had a chance to read everything. I can't go into details of the future. It's just a matter of being calm and make sure you make the right decision.
    Brighton's finishes under Poyet
    2009-10: 13th, League One
    2010-11: 1st, League One
    2011-12: 10th, Championship
    2012-13: 4th, Championship
    "I've been trying to establish in the last 45 minutes what my rights are now, for example, like, I was saying before, to talk to the players. My situation from 7:30 to now is totally different so I need to inform me well what I can do and what I can't do in the next few days before the appeal is coming.
    "From what I read from the statement, I am unemployed, so I suppose [I'm available for new jobs]. My idea now is to appeal and get back to the job I've been doing until 1930 BST."
    Soon after finding out the news during the first half of the games he was covering, he said: "I'm probably the first to be in this position. Everyone can make their own conclusions about the way I have been informed by you."
    Talking about people at the club, including his players, he added: "I suppose reading the statement I will be able to talk to them. It's very sad, they gave me so much - they made me proud. Not being able to answer a phone or text for legal reasons is unusual."
    "Are they [the club] messing with my career? We will see, it's too early to say. I am looking forward to clearing this."
    Brighton said in a statement released on their website on Sunday that Poyet had been "informed by the club's internal disciplinary panel" he was no longer manager of the club.
    It added: "This followed his suspension, an investigation, and a subsequent formal disciplinary process.
    "In line with the club's own procedures, and UK employment law, Mr Poyet now has a right of appeal."

    The former Chelsea player was suspended along with his assistant Mauricio Taricco - whose suspension has since been lifted - and first-team coach Charlie Oatway.
    A club disciplinary hearing was adjourned last week after Poyet did not attend, with the League Managers' Association later suggesting he had not had enough time to prepare. Brighton said at the time that "was neither fair nor accurate".
    The Uruguayan took over at Brighton in 2009 and won promotion from League One in 2011.
    The former Chelsea midfielder guided them to a fourth-place finish in this season's Championship, but the Seagulls failed to reach the play-off final, losing 2-0 on aggregate to Crystal Palace in the semi-finals.
    The club have yet to reveal what their reasons were for suspending, then sacking, Poyet.
    He told the Match of the day programme: "I think the BBC got a great story forever really because a manager getting the information that he's been released from his employment during the time of a programme is quite surprising."

    Are we thinking he had chats with MA and that's why they binned him as it was against his contract?

    I think Gus has received the ****ty end of the stick here. I think he just has to dook on the Brightside and hope this appeal works out. His achievements wit Brighton are akin to taking the Browns to the Superbowl.

    I honestly thought that Brighton & Hove Albion would have conducted themselves with at least a snip of class.

    Not a bit of it.

    Disgusting behaviour.

    I hope he sues the ****ers. <ok>
