We were dead & buried yet survived. Gus isn't perfect but add on a trip to Wembley & a decent FA Cup run. My glass is half full with Poyet.
Run that "decent" FA Cup run past me again please? You are clutching at straws there.

I'll give you the trip to Wembley, even if we were almost dead and buried in round one, and could have been kicked out anyway if a certain discrepancy had been spotted earlier.

And I'll give you your comment on the FA Cup run. What discrepancy did you refer to, I recollect it vaguely but I'm getting on is my excuse.

Who's clutching at straws now?

Getting to the quarter final of the FA Cup was a decent run, I'd find it quite astonishing if anyone disputed that on here, it was just disappointing to get put out by somebody shite in the end.
 
When O’Neill left he had 31 points from his last 31 games

When Bruce left he had 21 points from his last 27 games

Poyet has 22 points from his last 23 games.

Another 3 games without a win and the fans will start to turn imo. Hopefully Short will have learnt that hiring and firing makes little difference in the long term, and instead of spending on changing managers he should make money available for better players.
22 points from 23 games is significantly better than 21 from 27 when in the bottom 3rd. Only a bruce like 7 defeats in 8 will sound the alarm bells. 4 away clean sheets on the trot at the moment.

Beating a non league team 1-0 at home, another one relegated from league one, and Southampton 1-0, before not bothering to turn up in the quarter final, doesn't make a "decent run".
 
Every team needs better players in that case.
IMHO a managers job is "to get more than the sum of its parts" out of a team. The ultimate safc examples would be Stokoe in 73 and Reidy when were flying. Gus is nowhere near doing that. I reckon Fergie and Mourinio and a few others could get a lot more out of this current squad. I reckon Gus should be getting a bit more out of em. Once he does that he can gan knocking on ES's door with a sense of entitlement. Until then hes got to man up and stop the whinging.
A lot of the players who's recruitment we all suspect him of being behind have yet to set the SOL alight (Bridcutt, Scoccho, Coates, Buckley, Gomez etc) so I think anyone expecting ES to hand him the keys to the castle are being very very naive.
Never said to give him massive funds.
Those managers might get more out of them for a while.. Then we'll be SAFC again.

He still saved us & got us to Wembley beating some of the best teams in the country/Europe once, sometimes twice.
 
What and bring in another manager to work with the same shite players you mean? The question asked next would be how long does the new manager last? The money has to be made available to buy quality players, Ellis does not want to do that because of bad buys in the past but he is going to have to spend otherwise we will be in a relegation fight again and we won't win it this time around. Ellis has done alot for us but I think he should be thinking about moving on and letting someone else have a chance at taking us forward.
I'll tell you this, Pulis would get far more out of this so called shite squad than GP.
If WBA and the mags by pass Pulis for the likes of Sherwood, they deserve all they get

He was gifted a once-a-decade path to the final but never looked like he fancied it. Carlisle, Kidderminster and half a Southampton team.

Don't think the mags have the right players for Pulis.

Aye it does, the reason being, we got to the quarter finals, and I was as pissed off as anyone with the Hull game but it still doesn't mean it was better progress in that cup than anyone would have expected before the Cup started.

Look at both sides whilst weighing Poyet up and it becomes a fairly weak argument to hate on him right now in terms of progress.

We play boring football but it's made us solid and until he has a couple more windows at least, then we will really see where he can take us.

This. I've never been a massive fan of Poyet but we're looking like a decent side at the minute. Whether he can find the missing piece of the jigsaw remains to be seen but for now we look okay and aren't relying on loanees, no point thinking of getting rid of him at this stage.
 
GP is doing OK. Enough not to be sacked but nothing spectacular. Some of his selections and substitutions are confusing at best and the transfers made since the start of his tenure have been the main reason that we continue to struggle.

The really sad thing is that we are probably two or three decent players away from being a safe mid table PL side. But those players wouldn't be cheap and there's no evidence to suggest that we could attract them even if we had the money.

I think we will just be OK this season. But that will require on us beating the teams around us at home as we may not get many away points in the second half of the season. But the Hull game in this respect worries me that we are too predictable to play against, and we will continue to get picked off at home on the break as many of the lower teams have pace up top.

We shall see. Interesting times ahead.
 
Idiots are the ones who think we can't do any better than this.

He said we "play boring football".

We are boring but we arent a bad side. Naturally I want us to improve and we badly need a good transfer window but its hard to argue that we havent progressed, we hold our own against most sides and thats without relying on loan players, just need a bit of attacking quality and for Gus to sometimes trust it and go for a match by the balls. We're not bad though
