Poyet on Goals on Sunday

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Confirmed he'd had a job offer from Reading pretty much.........

Anyone see it?

Didn't he say he had a Premier League offer in March, which was obviously us. I think we dodged a nasty bullet with that one.

Rumour has it that Adkins was approached first & turned it down so we went for Poyet but I guess we'll never know....

No, and it doesn't matter either as we got the best man for the job.

That would make sense - when we first sacked BMc, Adkins was in legal dispute with Southampton over his sacking and couldn't accept any other role without seriously impacting his legal position. But a couple of weeks later, once he'd officially launched a claim for unfair dismissal, he was then free to accept other offers.

and the Albion chairman confirmed that Poyet wanted to leave in March

It was exactly that.

Agreed.

Poyet is a wrong 'un.
