Gus Poyet is on the brink at #Safc. Set to leave this week with the club targeting a short-term replacement until end of season.

he should have been sacked after the Hull game what with the points return at home at that stage. He should have been sacked after QPR. SAFC is a laughing stock here in Australia and it hurts to hear the bad comments. 45k crowd and you have to put up with the dross and style of a hopeless mismanaged team.
 
Time to go down, and win some football games, get some excitemant back into the club
I'm pretty sure that's what Wigan and Fulham thought! And Blackburn. And Bolton. And Boro. And Forest. And Sheffield Wednesday. There are loads of teams who have gone down in the last 10-15years who spent a good few years in the PL and thought they could go down for a season and come straight back up.

And with the extra money coming into the PL from Sky, it's only going to get more difficult.
 
It's difficult this. Getting a short term manager will mean everyone knows he won't be here next season, and it's possible he will never fully get the dressing room on side.
 
Dont know what to think anymore. Something deeply wrong with club. We end up ruining and seemingly causing a breakdowns to every manager who walks through doors.

There's something "deeply wrong" with most clubs as they all regularly do the same . Villa, Scum, West Ham, WBA, Palace, Spurs, Leeds, Forest, Birmingham, the list is pretty much endless.

It's football and football knows how not to run a business.

Cutting.

The current situation is much preferable.

I've changed my mind.

Poyet in ;)

I think it's dawning on people how tricky the situation is. It's not a case of having the choice from a pool of both long term and short term class managers. The replacements, in both cases, will be underwhelming. Brace yourselves.

Look, the players will want to win games as much as the manager, the chairman and the fans will. It's not as if they are a reluctant bunch being forced to play football for a tanner a week - they will have some professional pride and will want to end the season as PL players - for the avoiding relegation bonus, and to avoid wage cuts as much as anything else....

So let's stick with someone who has clearly run his course has lot the plot and has even the half decent players in the squad looking like league two players?.

This.

Relegation is not what it was 10 years ago - the last 4 times we have gone down, we have bounced back up, normally at the 2nd time of asking. There are far too many good teams in that league now for anyone to have confidence about how we would perform next season if the worst happened.

Unless it's BSA deffo coming in during the summer, Reidy is his big marra so they'd know they couldn't fuck about if they wanted a future here, but then again if that was a priority they wouldn't have been so shite for so long, either way it's yet another summer of rebuilding and upheaval :rolleyes:

Anyone who can organise the team and ensure each player understands their job is fine by me. I'd take anyone at this stage just so long as they have a plan and stick to it. This "russian roulette" of tactics and line ups that Poyet was playing every week was embarrassing. I doubt we have played the same formation twice, never mind the same line up twice since Defoe joined

Hopefully the last too ;)
It won't be McCoist - putting aside the footballing ineptitude, he is contracted to Rangers for a few more months yet and won't be giving up on his salary

Not at all. He has to go. I'm just saying that it might be folly to expect more than another mediocre manager.
