Brighton claim Gus Poyet knew he would be sacked before being told on BBCTHE war of words between Gus Poyet and Brighton took another twist yesterday as the club said: “We told you you were going to be sacked”.
Poyet reacted with disbelief on Sunday evening when he heard of his dismissal by the South coast club live on BBC television, where he was working as a pundit.
He claimed he had no knowledge he was about to be axed.
Brighton refuted that yesterday and issued a statement which read: “In relation to comments made by Gus Poyet on BBC Match of the Day last night...the club spent much of Sunday in discussion with Gus and his representatives.
“For legal reasons we cannot say anything about the content of those discussions, but Gus was well aware, before he appeared on the BBC last evening, that his dismissal was pending.
“Given Gus has a right to appeal the decision to dismiss him, the club will not be making any further comment on this matter at this time.”
Former Maccabi Tel Aviv boss Oscar Garcia is now the favourite to replace Poyet.

'nonplussed face '
Maybe Brighton could invest the same amount of hours in finding a decent PR team ,preferably one that doesnt require
two days to deliver their response ?
