Poyet: “Everybody knows one of the owners is Juan Sartori from Uruguay and we are very close. We speak monthly, so I have been in contact over the last 3 months. It's something that will happen. When? It depends on many things, but it's nice that after you leave a place, a few years later they go back and think, 'maybe it wasn't that bad, maybe we had a good time with him!' “
Where's he said that? And is this him saying he's coming back?
 
If it's Still and we are waiting for him to do his pro licence but everything is in place and agreed then I am fine. If we get to the end of May and appoint someone out of work that's been available for months I will be confused.

Just don't like the way we seem to be going about this at all.
I still don’t understand why we’d need to wait for him to do his pro licence before announcing him. It makes no sense to me.
 
Really don't fancy Poyet personally. Don't like looking backwards especially when it ended so horribly after what was a relatively brief spell in charge.

Doesn't excite me one bit.
Doesn’t just not excite me, it worries me. I can’t think of a role in the club in which his personality and temperament would be a good fit.

Trying to remember, did he take Brighton up to the premier league?

That's the only thing that's making me not pull my hair out at the thought of it.

Really didn't like him here and don't think he has done a great deal at all since.

Chris Hughton took them up. Poyet took them up from the 3rd division.
 
Tend to agree, although the game has changed a lot since the rules were first codified in 1863.
None of those changes though moved the game away from its basic simplicity.
Until the introduction of technology, it was, essentially, the same game whether it was being played at elite level or at the lowest level of organised football. Goal line technology and VAR have changed that now and it was that which made football the most successful and widely played sport in the world.

That's it in a nutshell.

Goal line technology isn't such a problem as VAR, because the decision is normally spot on and it doesn't stop the flow of the game, as the decision is instant.

No, he got them promoted from L1, then into the playoffs in the Championship (poogate game).

I like Poyet and always have. I dont think he is the mix for any job mind, but if he is giving some input to the owners I am ok with that. If he were to end up in a formal capacity at the club I would quite like that though. I am not sure he was as bad as some do. He had a better win record than all but ONeill in our last prem stint I think. Better than Allardyce, Bruce, Advocaat, Moyes.
