To be frank this board wouls have gone into meltdown if DW would have waited that long although it would of been a good appointment none the less
True, but not like much has happened this week has it since Owen was announced except that the “squad” is off on a jolly to the US for a week. I’d have happily waited a week for Poyet.
He is being portrayed as the innocent party everywhere, and certainly the way Brighton’s board have gone about this SEEMS strange – but again we only have Poyet’s word he knew nothing about this sacking until told on the BBC.
Maybe – just maybe – there is more to this than is being touted, and maybe we are better off without him.
Monday’s post-match press conference was not the first occasion on which Poyet had gone public on the fact that Brighton’s playing budget was in the bottom half of Championship payrolls. However, although the relative shortage of cash at Brighton was cited in reports of his interest in the Reading job following the dismissal of Brian McDermott in March, The Independent understands that Poyet has also been dissatisfied with other aspects of the belt-tightening at the club in preparation for Financial Fair Play rules that come into effect next season. He is believed to have told the players at a meeting on Tuesday that he could give no guarantees about his future and would not be compiling the retained list, which was released today.
In other words he was making public declarations of “business in confidence” details without his bosses’ approval, and wasn’t willing to live with financial restraints.
Yes please, Poyet anyday, I feel everything that has been built at this club lately is being ripped to shreds no fault of the jock though and we must give him a chance say Barnsly away no 3 pts sack him
You’re all assuming Poyet would actually want the Wigan job….
Coyle is here now and of what he can he has done a good job.
No doubt if we have no signings by the end of the week a few on here will be looking to set up the gallows.
The rumour I have heard is Poyet and the Brighton heirarchy have been falling out all season for a number of reasons and they have sacked him because he took some pictures off the wall from their promotion season that Poyet maintains is his property.
I give it a rumour rating of 2/10 but there it is.
