Gus Poyet fired, and finds out live on BBC at Half-Time

[Special Juan 27,445]

Literally just happened, I find it a complete disgrace from his club that anyone can find out in this manner.

Have the decency to do it in the real manner face to face for FFS.

Poor bloke looked like he was about to cry. BBC didn't take any second thoughts on pouncing on the situation either.

Why did they suspend him in the first place ?

A very decent manager, and a pretty damn good player for us but the badge kissing part is hard to forgive.

Get him here as Jose's number 2.

It's just not how you do things IMO, you have to be a lot more classier than that to terminate a guy in charge.

Surprised Geoff Shreeves wasn't there to tell him.

Great composure by Gus on air tbh.

I don't really expect better from the BBC in all honesty.

Hardly a shock though. He was composed because he knew it was only a matter of time that it was going to happen. He shoulda just resigned there n then.

Highly disgraceful!! The club should be ashamed of their poor conduct. That is not the way to handle the situation as a professional establishment.

A little classless from Brighton, although everyone knew it was gonna happen.

Next time Brighton, give us a call first for some advice - we've got a shit load of experience!

I guess the firing was due to a defecation incident in the Crystal Palace Locker room during the Promotional Playoffs. Regardless there has to be a better way of informing Poyet, especially since he was pretty successful w/ Brighton.

If we sacked a manager this way, the forum would crash.

[Muzchap 8,966]

It would be interesting to hear exactly what he was sacked for?

If he was covering up for the 'shite on the floor' situation - then maybe that's grounds for a sacking...

But I hope that's the last we hear of Brighton for a while - I hope they tumble down the leagues and end up in Non-League...

Joke of a club...
