http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...r-Gus-Poyet-with-Martin-Jol-under-threat.html Fulham ponder Gus Poyet with Martin Jol under threat Gus Poyet could emerge as a contender to replace Martin Jol as Fulham manager after threatening to walk out on Brighton and Hove Albion. please log in to view this image Poyet is considering his position following the clubâs play-off defeat to Crystal Palace â the Uruguayan running out of patience with what he believes to be a lack of financial support from his board. He met his squad yesterday to tell them he could offer no guarantees whether he was going to extend his 3½-year spell in Sussex. The 45-year-old has become increasingly frustrated at the Amex Stadium over the size of his budget and is convinced he has taken the Championship club as far as he can. And now Poyet, who rejected the chance to take charge of Reading in March, is expected to be considered by Fulham if they lose faith in Jol. Fulhamâs board are understood to be seriously concerned at their dismal end to the season, during which the team have suffered five defeats in a row and narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship. Jol agreed a one-year contract extension earlier this year but results and performances have been alarming and Fulham will review his position after the game at Swansea on Sunday. Jolâs tenure has also been blighted with persistent rumours of fallouts with players and he has endured a fractious relationship with chief executive Alistair Mackintosh. Poyet, the former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, has established a reputation as one of the rising stars in management and in his first full season he guided Brighton to the League One title. This season he managed a fourth-place finish but he has frequently bemoaned the lack of finance in comparison to other Championship clubs. Brighton are believed to have the fourth lowest budget in the division. He signed a five-year contract in Sept 2011 and other clubs have been scared off by a hefty £2.5 million compensation bill. Last season he turned down Wolverhampton Wanderers and also snubbed Reading two months ago, but appeared to suggest he was set for the exit after the defeat to bitter rivals Palace on Monday night. He said: âI want to get better and as a manager I want to get better as well. I donât go to places just to have a job, I go to places to put things right and to make the place better and I think Iâve done my job here. âI donât think anyone is going to disagree. Is there something more? Right now I donât know, so I need to make sure that I know there is, because if not I am not going to stay forever. It doesnât matter how many years contract you have signed. âI have always said that during the time we keep improving I am going to be at this football club and the day we hit the roof Iâm not. This team is much better than last yearâs team and it is improving because of the way we finished and the way we play. But to go up we need to get better. I donât think so.â Poyet also admitted he was keen for assurances from chairman Tony Bloom that he would be given funds to spend this summer and that the Brighton board matched his own ambitions. Bloom has invested heavily in the clubâs academy and training ground, plus the impressive Amex that opened two years ago, but Poyet appears to have made up his mind. He has made no secret of his desire to manage in the Premier League and could be given his chance by Fulham, if Jol is dismissed.
Sky confirms that Poyet has been suspended - http://www1.skysports.com/football/...et?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook Brighton have suspended manager Gus Poyet and his coaching staff, according to Sky Sources. The Uruguayan is believed to have had a series of disagreements with the club's board over his transfer budget for the summer. Poyet's future on the south coast was already the subject of intense speculation linking him to a number of vacancies elsewhere. He admitted he was "considering his options" following Brighton's play-off semi-final defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday. The 45-year-old is reportedly on Everton's shortlist to replace David Moyes when he departs to take over at Manchester United in the summer.
Poyet knows the big clubs want him so he is just putting himself in the shop window now and saying "come and get me" Coates needs to give Pulis a nudge and get in there fast!
Yes Jowler lol Still chance for rafa yet Ricc as his missus does not want to leave living on the Wirral!
I did mention Zola if they missed out in the play offs... This may? already be another done deal with Fulham.. Sunday can not come quickly enough. To my mind Pulis will either leave or something will be said about (next season) Let's hope Mr Coates does something one way or the other. I WANT that Season Ticket more than anything. But....
I took the gamble on the season ticket Potts and was thinking at one stage I would be watching 23 home games next season instead of 19! I seriously hope there are some major changes as I really do not fancy another season of watching the dross that has been on offer this season mate!
