Gus Poyet sacked live on air (merged)

**Craig_in_Prague** · 16-05-2013 07:47 PM

Suspend Poyet & assistant + coach.
(SSN)

Anyone know why ?

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 16-05-2013 07:48 PM

Probably to do with the Everton job.

**Beefster** · 16-05-2013 07:48 PM

He went off on one at the weekend and was talking about considering his position. Presumably something to do with that.

Fulham, apparently.

Short story; Poyet is a

gob***** who thinks he's bigger than the Club and destined for "better" things despite having achieved very little in the grand scheme of things.

Very little, do you mean taking them from the bottom of league 1 to the championship playoffs???

**jgl07** · 16-05-2013 09:22 PM

Fenlon out Poyet in!

Yes I do as, like I said "in the grand scheme of things", that is very little.

Do you believe one promotion gives a manager the right to talk in the disrespectful manner Poyet has?

Ouch... Are you a Brighton fan?

I'm surprised as he seemed to have a good relationship with the club but losing out on relegation seems to have affected him quite badly.

I was at the Amex on Monday and after the match all I heard from Brighton fans was that they were resigned to losing him to a premiership club, but glad he'd taken them so far in 3 years.

What he said may be seen in some quarters a being disrespectful, but IMO he's been treated badly by the brighton board for speaking his mind.

***brog*** · 18-05-2013 03:16 PM

There's more to it than Poyet's comments. You don't suspend 3 people for one person's comments!

If that had happened at Easter Road, I'd have expected Pat Fenlon to react in the same manner as regards the 'poo' matter. Totally disgusting if true, and I support Brighton. The 'clappers' is a side issue. For the whole back room team to be suspended over this email is very very strange, and I think more of an excuse than anything else.

No doubt the ***** has well and truly hit the fan

WTF?

Has this been verified in a credible news outlet?

P.S. if the marketing team did distribute those awful paper clapper things without discussing it with the boss then they all deserve to be sacked.

The grand scheme? A few years back you didn't have a pot to piss in far less anywhere to call home. He is bigger than the club it would seem, and very probably destined for better things. Hope its not at Spurs as I quite like him.

Journalistic nonsense as per, I'm sure there is a X% being accurate but everything around it being more than a little fabricated, the last line gives that away, the link with poo then paper clappers distributed by the marketing department has a slight whiff, a spokesperson for the marketing department thinks this stinks!!! Oh dear

Clarity from the Guardian, rather than sensationalism from the Sun

Poyet, linked with moves to Fulham and Everton, was suspended by Brighton on Thursday over an unrelated alleged breach of contract, as was his assistant, Mauricio Taricco, and the first-team coach, Charlie Oatway. It is not suggested that any of the trio were involved in the dressing-room incident.

It does seem Brighton haven't suspended him for this, but perhaps for openly courting other clubs to make him an offer.

**ScottB** · 23-06-2013 07:54 PM

So Brighton have dismissed Poyet by announcing it on Twitter, while Gus is a pundit live on the BBC...

Pretty shameful behaviour really! For him to find out from the BBC Presenter on air.

**VivaHiberña** · 23-06-2013 07:56 PM

I get the impression they contacted him by phone then tweeted about it. Still a very bizarre interview.

**Capt Mainwaring** · 23-06-2013 07:58 PM

Poor old Gus Poyet. Sat in BBC 3 studio doing the punditry for the Spain Nigeria game and at half time BBC show him a statement from Brighton that he's been sacked. First he knew about it

Morals, professionalism and common decency alive and kicking in the Brighton and Hove Albion Board Room!

**ScottB** · 23-06-2013 07:58 PM

Even so, doing it when they know he is live on TV just seems like they were trying to embarrass the guy, what football club have ever sacked someone at 9pm on a Sunday night? Could have done it this morning or tomorrow morning...

**Purehibee_MYB** · 23-06-2013 08:00 PM

Oh wow.. Would love someone to post footage of this happening, I'm in canada right now so don't have the same coverage of the confederations cup!

***HH81*** · 23-06-2013 08:02 PM

I reckon he already knew or had an idea it was game over?

Hibs like a Sunday night sacking.

Maybe they meant to do it this morning, forgot and then remember when they switched the game on.
