What he is saying is
I know the first team is shite but there is only a small difference between them and second team. Need to improve first team and make the gap bigger,
However this would still leave a shite second team

His English is very conversational and I think it can sometimes be a little ambiguous - particularly when put in print. Can take a bit of decoding but I think that the majority of the time we should give him the benefit of the doubt.
It sounds like this to me or thats how I read it. Maybe he has someone like Wickham in mind aswell.
Like many I think the club needs sorting because its a mess and there is definitely an attitude/mentality that needs shotting. Whether he is the right man is a different question, I don't honestly know, but what I do know if someone new comes in they will pull the wool over his eyes for a short period and we will be no further forward and he will need time to probably come to the same conclusion as the last 2.

The academy and scouting are clearly not producing what they should be. They should be under the microscope now. An organisation in a multi million pound industry needs to invest in the best people it can. If the rumour is true that Mcnamee is employing and signing relatives and friends he should be out the door and his little empire broken up. The other rumour about letting Henderson go before Keane stepped in is horrifying.

I look at it in the way he's the first manager in my lifetime to want to sort out such deep rooted problems, Bruce and oneill just wanted to throw money at the team.
Poyet wants to make us a full blown club, well ran professional club.
For me I'm fully behind him and I hope he gets it sorted, I have a feeling he will

He certainly isn't the first who wanted to. Hopefully he is the first who can actually do it.

Spot on. It's exciting to be in this position after so much shite.
Unless you're just a few months old Poyet isn't the first manager in your lifetime to want to sort out such deep rooted problems.
Paolo Di Canio wanted to make us a full blown, ultra-professional club. I hope Gus can do it but I would have had a lot more faith in Paolo.
I wonder if Gus has looked at this or whether the owner is aware of it, but it adds credence to what Poyet is saying.

I didn't realise we now hold the honour of having the worst goal difference of any team to have played in the prem

Plain and simple ...he wants total control

He's not our first manager to allude to big problems inside the club though, both O'Neill and Di Canio told us this.

Well lets be honest, we all know something is seriously wrong with this club, it has moved from one disaster to another for decades. We constantly under achieve and despite playing staff coming and going, management coming and going and owners coming and going the club continues to be mired in mediocrity.
So back him, give him autonomy, let him shape the club in the way he wants. At the end of the day what on earth do we have to lose? Whats another 12 months of potential shite when you add it in to the last few decades of misery and shite? Poyet gave us a cup final this season and at times made that shower of shite that calls itself a first team squad look like a decent football team. He also did the double over the mags, including the most comprehensive win at the Wonga Dome that you any of us are ever likely to see in a long time. So we get relegated, ffs after the start we had it would have been a miracle not to be relegated. Im sure after 1 point in the opening 8 games if you had said look guys you will go down but will get to Wembley and take the piss out of the mags in the derbies most people would have ripped their hands off.
Completely agree...and I hope and believe Short will back him.

Entirely this.
He will soon be saying he needs 3 seasons to get us back to the prem and any pressure away from himself.
Ironic is Brighton this season.

It would be good to see youth players come through, not really fkd what the scenery is around them when they do it.
He has inadvertently hit the nail on the head though, where are our young lads coming through? Must be disheartening for all involved, and another waste of brass, give them a chance, or work out why they are not good enough.
I doubt they are worse than some of the lads we have paid cash for.

Spot on and the reason we need stability, sounds like the grass roots at the club isn't being run professionally and hasn't been for some time. Like you say, it's probably going to take a new manager time to figure this out aswell. Let Gus and this congerton bloke sort it out.

It's clear as day, mate. He knows there's a mess & he wants to clear it up his way, as a a full manager with total control. Whether he's capable of doing it is another issue altogether. Given his January fumblings in the transfer market I wouldn't put him i/c of the coffee swindle.
He's basically saying he wants full control and not have to chance getting what he wants from the DOF.

Very true about di canio, I was a fan of his too so quite bad I've overlooked him! He was spot on really, unfortunately he went over the top.
Don't remember oneill mentioning it, plus being here only 2 days a week don't know how he would have implemented it.
I'm glad poyet has put his thoughts out there, time for short to pick his man stock with him and back him
