Here you go: the best ‘Gus Poyet sacked on TV’ tweets from fellow footballers and assorted media types alike.
First, here’s the moment the now former Brighton and Hove Albion manager found out while appearing on the BBC as a pundit for their coverage of the Confederations Cup match between Uruguay and Tahiti…
WAIT! NEWS JUST IN! Gus Poyet was thrown out of the BBC’s back door onto some trashcans in an alleyway.
Feast on this lot, you slavering jackals…
Matt Law, Sunday Mirror
Am I right in thinking Brighton have sacked Gus Poyet for someone else doing a poo? Seems a bit harsh.

Do you reckon Brighton waited for Spain to kick off before releasing statement of sacking of GUS Poyet? Awkward half time this could be..

Poyet didn't even know….. Damnnnnnn!

So Gus Poyet's just been sacked. He's lucky Geoff Shreeves isn't about "Oohhh Gus isn't this the worst way to be sacked, must be awful"

Don't know the full extent of what's happened with gus poyet but he's one of the best coaches I've worked with, top manager.
