TRon Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I was going to do start I poll about who you would least like to be our next manager. Poyet would have been the hands down winner of that one for me. I can't believe that some people on here are actually open to his appointment. Have we sunk so low that we are considering employing Spuds assistant manager who was formerly number two at a league one club ? Apart from this, he's done absolutely nothing to suggest that he's ready for a role as big as this. Nothing. This would be an absolute suicidal appointment by Ashley, I honestly don't think he's that stupid. Poyet would get zero support, absolute zero support from the bulk of the fans, apathy would be returned to those that were re-invigorated under KK. What's even more laughable is that the papers would have us believe that we won't be able to get him because he doesn't want to move up north. Crazy just crazy. Basically it is a choice of: 1) Someone with a good track record who won't like the boardroom's transfer policy. 2) Someone experienced who is purely mediocre. 3) Someone unproven or with limited experince, but with some potential. 1 and 2 will fail, at least option 3 gives the club a chance of having something to smile about. There are tons of better options that Gus Poyet for option 3. Don't you wonder why so many inside the game rate Poyet as an up and coming potential manager? Why he got interviewed for the West Ham job? Maybe they know something Joe Bloggs down the pub doesn't? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are tons of better options that Gus Poyet for option 3. Name them. Roberto Martinez I'm not discounting Poyet as an option, he interests me somewhat as a coach. But having witnessed the buzz about the Swansea team down here and the fact that he is as much a coach as a traditional manager I'm championing Martinez as our new First Team Coach assuming Ashley stays. If we get taken over I would fully expect a 'big name' to come in. I understand the sentiment, but I feel that Poyet's record as a player would command respect in the derssing room, whereas Martinez would find it more difficult. Having said that, while a risky appointment, I still reckon he'd offer a greater chance of reward than the Allardyces and Redknapps of La Liga.

There are tons of better options that Gus Poyet for option 3. Name them. Anyone who doesn't alienate the fan base from day one because of his past links to certain members of the football club’s board. Someone who has managed a football club. Someone who’s had at least some relative success, bloody hell a young manager that has won the Hungarian First division has a better CV than Poyet. If we are going to take a huge on gamble a COMPLETELY unproven manager (which I don’t think we should) then he should be a Shearer, Beardsley, Robert Lee or someone else that has some link or passion for the club. Poyet’s done nothing, he’s unpopular already, he would be a horrendous choice but like I said before I honestly don’t think Ashley is that stupid to appoint him.

MyPalAl Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Poyet might be the final nail in the coffin for a lot of people in actively supporting Newcastle. Beats me why anybody would think he's popular north of Watford and there is absolutely no reason I can see that he'd be any more acceptable than wise. Except to those who don't mind bending over a getting f***ed yet again. And there appears to be a number of them on this forum. well said, we cant let the sheep decide, we will run round in circles forever....oh look...the grass is greener over there...baahh I seriuosly question your constant and frankly disturbing refrence to sheep, you may find you need to seek help my friend. What's to say Poyet would be any more of a gamble than Laudrup, Rijkaard, or any other foreign coach? It's highly unlikey in the current system a British manager would want to come in. Some fans really need to let Keegan go, he gone, done, finished and this club needs to find a replacement. So you can continue your pathetic and frankly futile crusade while I get on with supporting my football club, enjoy.

An assistant manager who's CV consists of number two at at league one club and number two at a club who finished middle table in the prem and are currently 2nd bottom of the PL is no more of a risk than a European cup winner and multi la liga winner, who's managed one of the bigggest clubs in the world ? To be fair to Poyet, you missed out the most important parts of his CV as a coach - he's won a trophy at Wembley and has a couple of seasons coaching in the UEFA as well. I still don't think he's ready for a job as big as this but at least be fair to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's two, Wise was his best mate and Ramos needed someone who spoke English and Spanish. It seems like his apparent reputation has been built on being multilingual, I'm not sure that sufficent to qualify him to be manager of Newcastle United Football Club.

I'll play that game too, my Uncle Albert has managed bedlington under 9's but he's a bloody good manager so Newcastle directors would be mad not to employ him. For every Wenger there's a Brian Kidd or Christian Gross or Sammy Lee or Paul Sturrock or Steve Wigley. At Least Wenger had managed a football club before coming to Arsenal.

Guest TommyW Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 One of the games in this run is a trip to Newcastle in the Carling Cup - which brought us neatly onto press speculation linking Gus with the vacant's manager's job at St James' Park. "It's very clear that it's nothing at all," stated Gus when asked about those rumours. "I'm very happy here. I've had almost a year back at the club with Juande and Marcos. This is just speculation and it's all too easy because of my relationship with Dennis Wise. It's nothing to worry about and all I intend to do is relax and continue with my job." http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/guskeyspell090908.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have a problem because I don't hate him to start with. On the pitch he used to get on my wick when he scored against us, but he built up a good reputation for the work he did at Leeds. I don't think he'll be persuaded though, not the most attractive option to uproot to the north where the supporters of your own team would be willing you to fail.
