Roberto De Zerbi

[Buster15]

Went to University there in the late 90s, worked in a pub on Gloucester Road for a couple of years and went to a few Rovers games. I was never a true Gashead though!

Appreciate that. I too am not a gashead. But would definitely be if de Zerbie went there.

 

[DJ_21]

I'm obviously concerned that when they lose, they seem to get battered, it's not all great of course but the takeaway for me is you've got players like Milner, Lallana, Welbeck, Dunk etc all playing great football, and yet we can't do that because we 'don't have the players' for it, and they create chances no matter who's in the team. It's absolutely clear how they want to play.

100% and there not afraid to play it against the bigger teams. Which I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Sometimes managers have to adjust their way of playing depending on the opponent. For example I don’t think any teams on this planet can go head to head with city.. your best success against them will come with countering.

Do Brighton have a worse squad than West Ham? What's the people's opinion about those squads?

West Ham did better in the league and in Europa. Moyes is deemed a failure by many and De Zerbi is linked with Bayern. Is that Brighton squad really that much worse than the West Ham one?

Both of the teams sells their best players every year and can't hold on to them. Moyes has done a better job than De Zerbi in my eyes

Who's deeming Moyes a failure? Most people seem to acknowledge he's done a pretty good job at West Ham.

 

[Woodzy]

I do feel like ETH’s fate is decided regardless of the FA Cup final, so if he isn’t staying then we would definitely have a replacement lined up already which is why this is believable.

I'm a season ticket holder at the Mem and would be over the moon if he went there, but no it's Matt Taylor for next season, but at least that's a hundred times better than Joey Barton!

 

[Yakuza_devils]

The question is, is the journalist from Napoli who started this news reliable? If so, it's really very high possibility that it's us. We are the only club who can't announce our manager because of FA Cup.

Also, it's Ineos MO that no details is leaked to the press. They will announce once it's time.

Hopefully Chelsea

Bit weird that its not disclosed yet. Apart from United, which other club who is involved in meaningful game, is looking to change their manager?

Top man.
It would be good to find out how many people there are here who are from Bristol but support Manchester United as well.
Think I will open a new thread.

 

[2 man midfield]

Chelsea bound surely

Poch has a big game coming up…

 

[Infra-red]

Yep. Nailed on. Boehly really has a thing for all things Brighton, doesn't he. Might have been cheaper if he'd just bought them instead.

 

[Herschel Krustofsky]

Hopefully Chelsea

Have everything crossed this is true!

Yep. The best more often than not make allowances and show some flexibility, his approach is admirable but naive, certainly with the tools he had at Brighton.

 

[Malone_Post]

Didn't you beat them 2-0 at their ground less than 24 hours ago?

I didn't watch the game, did he really "school" Hag in that one?

Leave these people alone, they want to hate everything even when we actually win games.

He posted that at halftime and hasn't been back in here since...

We should have been 3-0 down by HT.
There was only one team that looked well coached, and it wasn’t United. It should also be noted that Brighton were missing about 8 first team players before anyone tries to use injuries as an excuse.

 

[tentan]

Potter v2.

If he goes to Chelsea it will end in disaster.

 

[Teja]

It seems too slow now for it to be Chelsea. They would've announced already if they had him lined up.

But I thought we were the only team stuck with injuries this season, and that's the only reason we played like a bottom half team? If we had Varane, Casemiro, Licha, Shaw available we would surely be shoe-in for Top4 at least.

(Don't mention the opener vs Wolves, 7-0, etc.)

 

[Freak]

I think he’ll go to chelsea

 

[Insanity]

Firing Poch to get him would seem odd. But they do have a few Brighton players in their rank, so maybe that's the thinking. Plus, he can play good football, even if it's suicidal at times.

 

[Yakuza_devils]

Hope after the FA Cup final on Saturday it's not maximum confidentiality anymore.

 

[userman]

He’ll go to Bologna once Motta leaves for Juventus.

 

[horsechoker]

He’ll go to Bologna once Motta leaves for Juventus.

Trading fish and chips for bolognese

 

[Yakuza_devils]

Why such a downgrade?

 

[mu4c_20le]

Sounds bologna, hes chelsea bound

But we were not and we won 2-0 due to a tactical change.. I mean....

 

[userman]

Why such a downgrade?

Is it a downgrade though, they’ve got Champions League next season - and apparently he was close to signing for them just before he joined Brighton.

 

[RoyH1]

Why such a downgrade?

Bologna is bigger club than Brighton. The city is lovely too.

 

[gaffs]

I think De Zerbi may be the favorite of INEOS.

They will have been impressed with what Francesco Farioli did for them at Nice. He has now moved to Ajax.
Farioli learned under De Zerbi at Benevento and Sassuolo,

INEOS may want a similar coach at United, so why not go for De Zerbi?

De Zerbi to Chelsea feels like the most obvious move for both parties.

You're not in the market for a manager anyway now, are you?

Apparently we're looking at perspective candidates. I would be surprised if ETH stays on.

 

[Blood Mage]

If we hired De Zerbi we'd need a perfect transfer window to prevent him from being a disaster. Right now we don't have the players he needs.

 

[duffer]

I don't know why but De Zerbi just feels a better fit for a Chelsea head coach that he does a Man United one.

Maybe because we've had so many underwhelming appointments over the years I guess.

I know that a certain Ukrainian winger at Chelsea is absolutely desperate for him to get the job.

I personally think he would be an absolute disaster at United alright.

The only good head coach for you is Ancelotti. He is the only one that can manage lunatics like Boehly. His only limit is Hoeneß but that's true every living being.

He would be my dream appointment for sure. We need someone with a ton of clout to deal with all the players, a ton of experience dealing with mental owners and a ton of cool because I am cool and I like my manager to be like me.

 

[awop]

Surprised no Iraola on that list.

He just signed an extension 2 weeks ago
