Take ya pick, Baz is not a clown, he's a ginger midget you get's thrown around a pound a go, but he maybe correct that, the club is ****ed. in it's current state
Yep that's the same Poyet Done a grand job with Brighton especially with his shoe-string budget. Don't you think? Or don't you really know?
But it was ****ed this time a year ago, it's not new news, Baz likes to think he packs a lot of revelation but he's stating the obvious mate. But it's not Poyet's fault, he's trying to do an impossible job.
Of course it's Poyets fault to. he had all of January to buy a decent forward but he buys some cheap foreign ****.
Poyet saved Brighton from relegation when he first went there. In his first full season he won promotion to the Championship, winning manager of the year. He consistently had Brighton top half and pushing play-offs, he won an outstanding manager award for his work with little Brighton in the Championship. He never had the sort of money he will get at Sunderland. He's experienced in the Championship which is vitally important. I reckon with the bigger budget, we will and should be favourites to bounce straight back. Poyets footballing philosophy is starting to show progress right throughout our squads. Next season when it's fully implemented and the players know their jobs, I'm very confident we will do well and bounce back stronger as a squad and as a football club. It's all about believing in Gus and sharing his goals and visions for our club, which I do.
How much did he have to spend like? What was his wage budget? You don't know so can't know the lack of activity in Jan was his fault. Haway man, think about what you're saying, you're applying blame based on an assumption fashioned in your own mind.
To be fair Poyet spent the best part of 7m on Craig Mackail Smith, Ashley Barnes, Will Buckley and Kazenga Lua Lua. If you add that to the wages of Kuszczak and Upson then he had one of the biggest budgets in league.
I agree. I think he's a good choice and would've taken him as our manager if we ever got rid of Pardew. I think sometimes his tactics/substitutions can look poor for you but I think that's because he knows how poor the majority of your squad is (not wumming, I'm aware your squad has beat us 3 times on the bounce) and is trying anything and everything to come up with a competitive game plan. I think he's knows you'll struggle to score goals no matter what so his thinking with the 5 at the back is to try and win games 1-0, as it's not often you've found the net more than once in a game this season (again not wumming as you put two and then three past us and we've failed to score in 10 of our last 14 games). At least he's trying to be creative in how he sets you up, that's the point I'm trying to make
It's is a good point mate It all boils down to giving him time. We need a manager to be given a few years to get his football and team playing his style. It takes a few seasons before it's fully implemented and then we should see the benefits of it. Look at Peter Reid, we were relegated first time in a Premier League, but we came down and rebuilt the squad and playing style and came back much better and stronger as a result of it.
I'm a lot calmer now and will judge Gus once he's had chance to get rid of the ****e that we have in that squad. He's certainly no messiah or any of that **** though, unless of course he keeps us up....
I think that if you do go down, and you keep hold of him you'll be back up the following season. Too many managers out there trying to make a point shaking up the team like dicanio did.
This is well open for debate, we have set out what we aimed to achieve. Being a consolidated premiership club (although it looks that's coming to an end). Along the way I think it's been a catalogue of errors, through bad manager selections but more our transfer activity lately has been our Achilles heel, IMO.
