[Football] De Zerbi to Chelsea?

[Herr Tubthumper]

Can you imagine him putting up with this

No. But I'd love to see him try though

I think RdZ is off to the San Siro .

Long may he reign

 

[fruitnveg]

Just did a, who should be the new Chelsea manager, survey on the BBC website.

RDZ clearly the most popular choice

Voted for by people who haven't watched Brighton play more than 90minutes in the past few months.

We have really got under their skin haven’t we?

Can you imagine him putting up with this

I read somewhere that the Eghbal guy (or whatever the chuff his name is) would regularly turn up to training sessions and start telling them how to do things differently.

 

[Hiheidi]

I wonder

Sounds like a load of internet tosh. De Zerbi would have the exact same problem at Chelsea that made him leave us. They sign the players. He wouldn't have a say. Pochettino, after their game against us said 'This is not my team. This is Chelsea's team,' and was gone a week later. Could you imagine RDZ putting up with Eghbali coming into his dressing room and advising him who to pick? We know he does his homework. I don't think he'd even meet them.

I hope what you are saying is true, but who knows, both clubs have made odd decisions here IMO.

How much money shall I lump on, based on it being that reliable V9887589550421 who broke the story?

 

[KZNSeagull]

I wonder

This V person? Well respected in football circles are they? A top quality journalist? One who is so brilliant at their job that they do not use their own name on social media?

Precisely this! He'd have to be having a complete brain fart to think managing them would be a good idea. Not convinced their fans would welcome another ex Brighton manager

I have no idea!!

Sometimes people create non traceable accounts to make public something they have found out, but which they could get into trouble for.

And sometimes people do it just to bullshit and wind people up.

We'll know next week if it's the former or the latter.

 

[pocketseagull]

It's likely nonsense but NDA is a non disclosure agreement meaning they would be in trouble for leaking the info.

But that's what this person is saying.... Chelsea thought this, so their strategy was to leak the names of Championship and low level PL managers that their fan base would hate, so that by the time RDZ'S name comes up he's seen as a great option in comparison. (I actually wondered myself if Brighton was doing this as a way to get us to accept Potter back).

Why not just make him manager?

I did appreciate what they were saying but a very poor strategy. Irrespective of totally different characters their fans would still be thinking Brighton disaster incoming!

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

worst case scenario would be them stripping our team (again) ...
unfortunately, it seems a 'path of least resistance' deal for both sides.
RDZ and team get another go at the Europa league that they had a dry run with last year (I know... shit) and get paid more and hardly have to move....
Chelsea boost their chances of CL qualification, which must be their aim, and get a ready made team that he coached one year ago (Colwill, Moises, Gross etc.)
Hope it f+cks up right in their faces, of course.

 

[wehatepalace]

I wouldn’t be surprised if this were true.
Something just didn’t sit well with me, it’s all been far too nice and pleasant and choreographed.
