Blimey, it was a fun 18 months or so for me - I'd have RDZ back in a heartbeat

[Albion] Imagine What We Could 'Of' Had...
- Thread starter Tom Hark Preston Park

Extreme exaggerating. In a sport of eye-gouging Mourinho, Barton, Diouf, assorted corrupt owners, Archer, other stadium thieves.
RDZ was loved round these parts, right to the end eg the adoration at the end of season fans forum. You’re rewriting history. Worryingly your attacks will draw in a couple of thumpups from ungrateful haters who’ve lost perspective, forgetting the unprecedented great days under RDZ.
In the “De Zerbi was a great coach” corner we have Pascal Gross and Alexis MacAllister and in the “terrible manger” corner we have a bloke from Sweden who watches from a smoke filled room on a buffering stream.

You might have overdone your Scottish whiskey this year i think.Fill yer stalking boots there mate
Seriously, how do you think this plays itself out if/when it all goes tits-up. TB still owns all that prime real estate and won't make a loss on the deal. And if you believe in the power of TB's gorblimeyjustoneofus bobble hat then you're a muppet, pure and simple. Tho mainly simple
You’re getting RDZ and Sean Dyche mixed up there mate. Understandable mistake.
Far be it from me to be trying to defend THPP here, but searching for someone’s post from
10+ years ago is worrying behaviour tbh. Quite creepy.

I find FH so boring. The passing possesion game has pretty much dried up. I managed to watch two FH post match interviews and was painful. Don't want to be negative but things just aren't the same as when Roberto was the main man.
I miss his passion. Even the post match interviews were so entertaining. He got misinterpreted so many times from his lack of English but always had the clubs best interests at heart. He was frustrated with the injuries that ruined the season and European campaign. If only he had the current squad.RDZ was fighting on behalf of us fans to push the club to be as ambitious as he and we wanted it to be. In the end tho, the club pushed back on that ambition

Hansi Fick disagrees with you came to watch the Albion training sessions not once but twice when RDZ was here.
Arnie Slot also repeatedly made his players watch the Albion under DeZerbi to the point one of his players came over to take in a game.

Cool story. You can write a fan fiction about a world where Pascal Gross and Alexis Mac Allister decide who is a great manager for Brighton.
In the non-fictional world, the people who actually works for the club decided that Roberto wasn't great enough to keep his job, so he had to leave it. Your argument kind of loses power when this tearful fanboyism (I actually couldn't ever reach this level) meets the reality where I shared the "get rid"-corner with no other than Tony Bloom.

It’s not just the passing game all over the pitch we had triangles of players which gave the player on the ball options. The idea was to isolate the opposition defenders to one on ones so we could over load the box when in possession.

So you were in the room at the time of discussions? You are guessing like the rest of us.
Not before getting us to the last 16 of the Europa League. That’s the standard now. It was 13th in the top flight, then 9th, and then finally 6th with a decent European campaign to follow.
Meanwhile Potter was getting himself sacked from a billion pound spending big six team in less time and with a lower win ratio.

Personally, having gone to most games this season and especially the last few weeks, i miss the excitement of RDZs team in their pomp and i'm currently watching dull and frustrating football akin the worst of Potter!
Jury out on FH but needs to get a win tomorrow and find a way to stop giving goals away!

I absolutely wouldn't. Man is a complete knob and has shown that at Marseille with his requests for and defence of those investigated for rape and sexual abuse.

Accusing Bloom of being a duplicitous property / asset stripper - given the clubs recent history - is pretty insulting even when (successfully) trying to troll NSC on Xmas day. I mean fair play and all that but this sort of nonsense overshadows what is a useful thread and points about Hurzeler’s flaws, the tail end of RDZ and squad building.Fill yer stalking boots there mate

Ooh, my kind of debate. Just checking the usual suspects have given this thread the level of nuance such a debate deserves after a few festive beverages....ah

In pro wrestling parlance, he “worked himself into a shoot”. (This isn’t as dirty as it sounds).This thread has an air of a troll who has caught a few and then got angry about it.
Self trolling, if you will
Funny thread though, A+ trolling.

And another chance for the Potter and RDZ evangelist to take their arguments for a spin.
Everyone's a winner
