I may be too old to know, but I have never heard of The Athletic. Does he have a 100% record then? If he doesn't I will still have my suspicions with Chelsea tapping up Roberto.

With it rumoured Pep may leave City after next season, Roberto may be in line for them!

You wonder if that news had come out earlier in the season, he'd have bitten his lip a bit more and stayed on. A good next season with Brighton and no mouthing off would have put him in strong contention.

Why oh why oh why?
Nobody has a 100% record" as this is inevitably a world of secrets and lies, but David Ornstein is a very reputable journalist, and The Athletic a very reputable publication.

They have a shortlist of 4 and Roberto is 1 of them(apparently).

Only if you didn’t buy into “the no plan B” and “found out” discussions
We’ll see if he goes to Chelsea, where he would have the players so no excuses if they get the occasional hammering. Going to be interesting/funny/depressing if he does end up there either way

In div 2 that should be fun for him.With it rumoured Pep may leave City after next season, Roberto may be in line for them!
Ornstein reckons it’s between Maresca and Frank.
When it comes down to it, the Chelsea management and fans need to ‘take’ a manager from elsewhere. We’ve already separated from RDZ; they’d be none of that warm feeling of disenfranchising others that Chelsea enjoy so much if they take him on.
For a start, we did not sack him, the board and he came to a mutual agreement to allow his contract to be torn up and a clause was inserted into the new agreement whereby ‘if another premier league rival’ were to employ him the clause would be activated and reduced compensation would become liable by the employing club. Quite simple really and difficult to understand the confusion this is causing some folk on here.
Absolutely, but are you forgetting the brilliant football we played for the two seasons leading up to the promotion to the premier league, maybe it was only against championship opposition but defensive it wasn’t, more scintillating attacking flair IMHO.

Regardless of where he ends up, I will watch and enjoy De Zerbi's career.
Bloke's a legend.. even if he goes to Chelsea.

No De Zerbi: David Ornstein reveals Chelsea's two final candidates for manager role
The Athletic's David Ornstein has not been putting too much out on Chelsea's new manager search, but he has jumped in on it last night to reveal the two final candidates for the position.

I know we didn’t. That was the point I was making.
Man U is a bad fit for RDZ
