[Albion] BBC Sport Interview with Paul Barber

Roberto De Zerbi: Brighton chief Paul Barber on manager's future & club success

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber talks Roberto De Zerbi future; a successful season; fans expectations and 'New Deal'.

www.bbc.co.uk

As ever, PBOBE very eloquent and rational. The line about Chelsea taking the hose and not the water supply summed it up for me - hopefully we can get the top 10 finish that we deserve

“If that coffee machine was not working properly, I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to see it on the lawn.”

One of my favourite soundbites ever.

Took the cock but not the spunk?

What a great article, uplifting even, it’s nudged my mojo up 3 points

Some very good insights in it

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Is that just a written interview or is there a recording?

 

[timbha]

Doesn’t matter how many times I hear or read this type of thing it makes me immensely proud and lucky to follow our club. It’s always so fresh, positive, honest and uplifting.

I don’t understand what it means? Throwing it out? Trying to coach it? It doesn’t make sense! Lost in translation

RDZ wants perfection and if something isn’t working to his standards it gets binned….??

Yep, thrown out because it’s not working! Hissy fit stuff

There are some pretty bitter, uniformed, comments in the comments section. Palace and failing BIG teams fans I imagine

Half of them are pretty much word for word certain posters on here are saying

Good article by the Beeb.

This sums up the season for me taking everything into consideration:

“What Roberto has done to keep us in the top 10 and the last 16 of the two biggest knockout competitions has been remarkable. I don’t think he has got half as much praise as he deserves for that achievement alone.”

Trossard and Sanchez spring to mind

 

[Justice]

He said the same thing about a month ago on TS.

 

[Giraffe]

Interesting that he made a point of mentioning the access RDZ has to him and Bloom. RDZ pointedly said something like he had 20 mins with Tony and Barber mentioned in January that he had spoken to RDZ a hundred times, Tony less.

I think Tony needs to give RDZ a bit more regular loving.

 

[Giraffe]

Trossard and Sanchez spring to mind

An Arsenal fan said to me he thought Trossard was one of the most popular players with their fans and could win player of the season. Never felt that here.

 

[Beach Hut]

Whatever.....

When is the Monorail being built ?

 

[Hotchilidog]

An Arsenal fan said to me he thought Trossard was one of the most popular players with their fans and could win player of the season. Never felt that here.

Trossard is a good player and he was terrific for us. Shame that after the WC he turned into a stroppy git that wanted out.

 

[RandyWanger]

PB does a good job of controlling the narrative.

Trossard is a great player and knew it! His attitude stank for us when wanted out and threw his toys out when challenged about it.

Indeed. I wasn't suggesting otherwise by the way. Was just surprised by the full on love they have for him. Somehow I never warmed to him even before the strop. Always felt like he only turned up when things were going well and went missing otherwise.
