Gus Poyet

[Arkle]

Aye this killed him, I suppose he had enough personal pride to be truly hurt by that defeat, can't wait to see McLaren's reaction when it happens up the road(and it's coming....) Thought Poyet was okay mesel, not to say sacking him was wrong but I'll think of him as more good than bad (just!)

Sacking him at the time was the right move. We were down if he'd stayed, as we were under Bruce, O'Neill and di Canio before him.

Will make an exquisite Europa League-level manager of a Spanish club in the future.

 

[Redan_White]

He really wasn't very good at management was he. Now the dust has settled it should be pretty clear to anyone he had no eye for a good player.

As easily forgotten as Dick Advocaat without Bert van Lingen. or MoN without Rodgers.

How good was Gus in 2014-2015? Before the wheels came off in late winter / early spring ...
we will need to get 11 points in the next 6 matches, to equal his 20 points after 19 matches.

Didn't like the bloke at all after Spurs Away when we lost 5-1. Also couldn't believe he practically threw the FA cup game down at Hull.

Was always looking to put his own failings on the club creating an us and them mentality. His signings were dreadful (anar he's not the first) and the tactics were just something else.

Greatful for the cup final though something I'll always remember.

The lineup for the Hull game was shite, but let's not forget that we started falling apart when he sent on the better players from the bench. Cattermole was f***ing awful that day too.

Canny fella
Out of his depth

Only because Hull were abysmal too. They couldn't even score their penalty.

 

[RichD]

I fuckin hate the man

 

[spoon]

glad he's gone. hated the style of football under him. most results we got with him seemed like flukes

 

[HebburnMackem]

Our last wembley appearance too pity we couldn't hold on

That weekend will live long in this old pissheads memory

And me brother. That weekend down London town I'll remember for the rest of my life

Ill always look back at Poyets reign and smile. 2014 was a wonderful year to support Sunderland. Dont care what anyone says. Im happy we have a more experienced manager now.

2013 shirley?

Genuine question. Do you hate the style under Allardyce? Last 2 games?

It's amazing how many have forgotten how bad it was with Di Canio. When Poyet came in I didn't know a single fan who thought we could stay up that year.

A solitary point from Di Canio's (7 matches, IIRC) reign, 2013.

And goal difference negated even that.

 

[GiantHogweed]

Did you mean that? I've lived through blizzards in Canada and it's nearly impossible to find the chocolate bar lost in the snow drifts.

I always find the chocolate bars hidden in snow drifts. Total myth you can't find them.

 

[Vindaloo Man]

Always came across as an oily fucker did Poyet, never trusted the man in all honesty.

I'm sure you mean Robertson, can't remember Rodgers working with the deranged Irishman.

 

[houst69]

Thought he did a canny job

Advocaat was worse
