I think he just isn't going to commit to an answer now, and fair enough.

Very definitely got that impression in the half hour I watched. It may not be his choice of course.

 

[dwayne]

You never ever did.

Please explain?

 

[Flounce]

Please explain?

Come on Dwayne, you have been on here long enough to know when someone is taking the piss, surely?

 

[Gazwag]

Enjoyed that. Was much better and more positive than I expected.

I agree, much better than the usual class of attendees and questions, but the same old negative posters will post negative opinions

Lol.

There speaks a man that has never learnt another language.

A few years back, in response to an American in his audience shouting 'If it wasn't for us, you'd all be speaking German' Jimmy Carr asked why they thought sixty years would be long enough for anybody English to learn to speak another language.

Ok I'm De Zerbi IN again

I’ve been to a lot of these fans forums and refrained from asking my usual nonsense question. However, De Zerbi walked past me on his way to stage. I’ve never seen an Albion manager with his ‘presence in a room’ before. The hair stood up on the back of my neck. He just has that X factor. Can’t put my finger on it but he is just an astonishingly inspiring in person.

Enjoyed that. Some good testing questions.

It’s the eyes. They stare into your soul.

Although not inspiring enough to be able to motivate his players on Sunday (in his own words).

I've never been, but watching live online at the last one (was it August?) I thought the same, without the benefit of his aftershave scent .

His on stage presence, he just has 'it'.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I've come to the conclusion that he is honest but what that means, I've no idea ?

But I'm still on board

Brutal honesty.

In my opinion, we have a manager who could inspire his team to win the Premier League but he is just too honest, emotionally. If he does not believe he has the right players to succeed, he really struggles. He can’t be disingenuous and perhaps ‘professional’ like Potter could be.

If we’re not going to give him these players in the summer, it’s clearly best for everyone that he moves on.

However, if the club targets top 6, Europe and a cup final and provides him with the half dozen players he needs (and I’m talking about the likes of Ross Barkley & KDH not Rodri or KDB) then there is not a better manager for this club.

Barbs OBE clearly stated that we have a business model and wage structure that will not change.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Did anyone ask about the documentary?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Barbs OBE clearly stated thag we have a business model and wage structure that will not change.

So? We can get the players we need using that model and structure. We had one of the best midfields in the Premier League last season, we can do it again.

All of this, great post.

My instinct is, sadly, that he will move on this summer. Hope I’m wrong.

Calling @Dr. No

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Enjoyed that. Some good testing questions.

Especially from the youngsters.

RDZ looked non committal to me, much like the team at the moment. Paul looked awkward when asked for commitments to spend Tony’s money. Why would and should the club change its very successful policy to meet the ambition of a transient manager and some fans. I’m proud of the way we do business. Success isn’t a constant upwards trajectory.
