conference outbursts distanced him from the personnel on the pitch and were not well received at boardroom level ‘i am not going to be a head coach when it suits and a manager when it doesn’t,’ he said in december ‘it is clear what we need to do that is down to recruitment so, if you ever get the chance to speak to anyone on the recruitment side and ask them about it, you are lucky if you don’t, don’t ask me’ such comments would not have been tolerated at other clubs and congerton informed owner ellis short that poyet was not the man to take them forward poyet grew particularly disillusioned during january and when he let coach charlie oatway take a pre match and half time team talk there was a feeling he had lost interest subsequent team selections left players and senior figures baffled   four central midfielders named in the starting xi versus hull, who play with wing backs, being the most alarming example poyet had lost his faith in his vision for sunderland and was fed up sporting director lee congerton (centre) poyet advised his son diego to sign for west ham last july rather than join him at the stadium of light  but the players should not escape criticism,

football he craved certainly, not once was there any evidence of such a brand of play during his 17 months in charge tellingly, the uruguayan also advised his son diego to sign for west ham last july rather than join him at the stadium of light then there was his failure to promote from within the club’s academy, a major source of contention among staff who work with the youngsters indeed, they were miffed at the sight of assistant boss mauricio taricco joining in first team sessions rather than sending for one of their players but poyet’s refusal to entertain academy prospects   not one such player started a game during his tenure   was symptomatic of his loss of love for the project on wearside results, if not performances, were always just enough   14 draws this season   to keep talk of a crisis in the background poyet was appointed by sunderland in october 2013 following the sacking of paolo di canio  but discord and discontent rumbled all the while and only now is it all being laid bare after the situation unravelled on the pitch in such shambolic fashion at the weekend poyet’s behaviour in the dressing room on saturday did little to convince the players he was scrapping for his and their survival for poyet no longer wanted to be at the club and the key powerbrokers no longer wanted him there, either his sacking was the best outcome for all parties hull
