Gus poyet



I have absolutely no idea of who we should sign - living in deepest Catalonia my only connection with English football is the premier - league one is like it doesn't exist. Saw the photo of Parkinson today for the first time in my life - always imagined him to be bald and fattish.

I'll just be happy if the general feeling on this board is positive when the new manager is named. I wouldn't bring anyone who has managed us before back though - sequels are never any good.
 
I’m not sure they would bring Gus back

but if they did, I think people would need to accept a gradual change in fortunes

the last time he was manager he was trying to change the entire philosophy of the football club.......a lot more possession football, passing the ball a gazillion times. It would have been a long term thing
 
what he did speaks louder.

I think you'll find it's what others did that prevented him carrying the previous seasons momentum into the next season.

That's what we need.

So hideous that we got to a cup final and played Man City off the pitch for 45 minutes. We also played Man United and Chelsea off the pitch as well.

It went sour at the end and I was there at Bradford calling for him to go, but fuck me, I'd crawl over glass to have him back now. He had an attitude and he had a plan. We're in League 1 and absolutely wank. He'd give us an enormous boost.
Malcolm Crosby got us to a cup final so that's not really a decent barometer. Aside from that you've mentioned 2 and a half matches. Although I accept there were highlights, most of the time it was a hard watch. There was too much tippy tappy and not enough intent, very much like watching continental football. I'm sure when you were at Bradford you were sick of watching it.

I think there's worse candidates out there, but my personal preference would be a positive, attack minded manager that makes watching the match exciting again. We always get these must not lose managers.
 
Pearson
Poyet
Allardyce

obviously all subject to take over to be remotely realistic.

allardyce or Pearson possibly better equipped for league 1 with the current squad
 
The problem with getting Poyet in is we don't have the squad to play how he likes to play.
How many on here would accept another season maybe 2 at this level to allow him to build a squad he wants?
 
I don’t mind his return. Some of the results we had are only beaten by two seasons under Reid.

just get safc on the front foot and go for teams in this awful division. You see the errors weekly on the highlights of league one games.
 
We disagree with the ability of our squad or maybe how little ability is required to just pass the ball on the deck I guess?

Who do you want as manager instead?
If gus would come I'd deffo be welcoming but these fuckwits aren't even capable of stringing 3 passes together. They lose their head when the ball goes over the half way line.

No way Big Sam would drop down to League 1
He will see who sacks the manager after Christmas in the Premier league

Problem is Poyet doesn't really play front foot football (which for me is a high tempo high pressing game) its a measured possession based game probing at the opposition.
