The Lower League Thread

He's been having a big sulk basically. Whether Everton have offered a contract to him doesn't matter really, he's shown a complete lack of respect for the club and has shown himself to be dishonest. Gus is a great manager, but he's got a toxic personality. The problem is, if he leaves I don't think we'll be able to get someone of his influence. Certainly not someone with his influence in Spanish speaking countries. Which means we might lose some key players. More worried about losing the players than him.
Gus was a great manager but he always thought he was bigger than the club. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't but you don't go saying that to the fucking media.

'Hi All,

1) ...when Crystal Palace players and staff arrived to the Amex and went into their dressing room, they found themselves in a very uncomfortable situation, for some reason that still no clear to me , someone during the day had access to the away dressing room and done something terrible, trying to upset everyone related to Palace. To say it in clear English, someone had a ‘poo’ all outside the toilets, over and around the toilets.

Now, after careful consideration, and even after a meeting with the Chairman who assured me that MY REPUTATION IS INTACT, I feel that I must express my anger that anyone inside this organisation thought they could interfere with it.

I am angry that someone within this club could endanger our good reputation and stoop so low - did they imagine that this would affect the Crystal Palace players - well it possible did - it may just have fired them up even more.

Well someone made a very bad decision and I think it is time to stand up and take responsibility - not just the culprit but those employees who are supposed to make our stadium safe and secure. Surely changing rooms are high up on securities check lists???

Surely someone should lose their job to allow such a breach of security - they do not deserve to be part of this club!...

2)...would someone like to admit it was their idea to hand out stupid pieces of noise-making paper - can I tell you it was an extremely silly idea and the result was an annoying noise - I am not for one minute blaming the result of the game on this, but it added only negative vibes to the proceedings along with the rubbish filled balloons that littered the pitch.

My team of players and staff have worked hard this season and I do not appreciate negative actions from others within the club...whoever you are, you let the club down very badly.

Gus Poyet'

No more MASSIVE Bradford in League Two? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Shoot me! Quick!

I'm also yet to see a sentence about Adebayo Akinfenwa that does not consist the words 'tank', 'beast' or 'massive'

In fairness, what else is there to say about him?

Doncaster have appointed Paul Dickov as their new manager.

wtf? what happen other? is it he sack? or leave? they are in championship!?

Their previous one, Dean Saunders left to join Wolves (and got them relegated), then Brian Flynn became interim manager then permanent til the end of the season. He has no stepped down to take the Director of Football job above Paul Dickov and oversee him.

Bizarre move.

Brighton & Hove Albion have issued a formal apology to Championship play-off semi-final opponents Crystal Palace after it came to light that excrement was smeared (apologies for all those taking elevenses at this point) on the floor of the Palace dressing room before the away team arrived.

Palace boss informed opposite number Gus Poyet just what treat had awaited them on their arrival in the dressing room and Poyet was so disgusted that he immediately sent an email to the club’s top brass insisting that the culprit be identified and sacked.

According to The Sun, Poyet’s email read:

“When Crystal Palace players and staff arrived to the Amex and went into their dressing room, they found themselves in a very uncomfortable situation.

“For some reason, someone had access to the away dressing room and done something terrible, trying to upset everyone related to Palace. To say it in clear English, someone had a “poo” all outside the toilets, over and around the toilets.

“I am angry that someone within this club could endanger our good reputation and stoop so low. I would like someone to accept responsibility and resign.”

Someone had a poo all outside the toilet. Someone. Had a poo. All outside the toilet.

Anyway, Poyet and three members of his coaching staff have since been suspended by the club, though the suspension is nothing to do with the turd war, rather a barrage of other criticism which the Brighton boss included in his email.

We should also mention that, while the grubby bugger who did have a poo all outside the toilet is still at large, none of the Brighton players are at all responsible either.

In a letter to Brighton’s season ticket holders, chief executive Paul Barber revealed that the club have apologised to Palace for the welcome present they were left ahead of the play-off semi, saying:

“We apologised to Crystal Palace as soon as the vandalism in their dressing room was discovered and again more formally a few days after the match.

“We have reviewed internal procedures to guard against this happening again.”

All toilets have since been removed at the AMEX and any and all personnel entering the stadium will be now supplied with an adult nappy to soil at their leisure.

Why did they remove the toilets?
