De Zerbi was told the ambition was to achieve Europe for the club. He did that and then had his best players sold, not replaced with quality and no actiivity in January when he said time and again we needed strengthening. Sorry but we changed and not De Zerbi. He is the most talanted Manager we argiuably have ever had. I am gutted
The best players always get sold by all but a few clubs. We did buy quality who has been thrown in whereas others have been given a few seasons to mature. To replace what was probably the best midfield partnership in the EPL last season is near impossible. The club did attempt to buy big, some people have short memories of the offers we made.

You're right though RDZ didn't change. That's why we got tonked on occasions due to his insistence of playing a dangerous game every time. Top managers adjust their approach given the circumstances and availability of players.

“I was at the fans forum and RDZ is 100 💯 staying !!!!”

Oh really !!!
What’s changed in 2 weeks then ?

This has been on the cards for months.

“ I love the city and will stay until I’m no longer loved”

???
So who doesn’t love you?

Look at his CV, he doesn’t spend any longer than 5 minutes at a club.

What I don’t get is Why take the job in the first place?

Why employ him?

What has drastically changed in 2 years?

Why have we been lied to about his future?

Tony n Paul

“We are a well run club and live within our means, we won’t spent unnecessary funds, we see ourselves as a top ten club and discover and nurture underdeveloped gems”

Rdz

Oh yes Tony n Paul,we see eye to eye.

The jobs yours.

Though RDZ has a bigger ego than poyet.
Wants to be a champions league club and spend millions in the transfer window!!

Bye bye, the club again has handled it brilliantly. Ship him out, get someone who fits the Brighton model and wants to be here.

Now is the time so the new manager has a full pre season.

I don’t know why RDZ and co bother turning up today.

I’m glad he’s gone.
I was also there and I never heard him say that
What I heard him say is that whatever he does in life he will never drag himself to it
He has to be happy in what he does
“If I wake up happy then great but if I don’t I can’t carry on” That’s what I heard so he must be unhappy

There was activity in January. Targets were identified.

I refer you to the club's January policy. Players can come in at the right price that improve the squad.

Dewsbury-Hall was a known target according to more sturdy reports. He and Leicester City said no.

The club will not pay stupid money for players who potentially don't fit the bill. That is how it works. Thankfully.

We've already been saddled with duds before who cannot be moved on.

And this is the truth some can’t handle. A bad season under RDZ is Potters ceiling many would have been happy as Larry if Potter finished 10th.
And some fools want him back :facepalm:

I love RDZ and I am sad he's leaving us. Some of his football at Brighton is the best and bravest I've ever seen us play.

However, the decision making of Tony Bloom I trust 100% and I'm therefore okay with what is happening.
I'm now very excited about learning who our new manager will be.
Our future is extremely bright and we are a very attractive proposition for any aspiring manager.
The new manager will have all the tools they need to succeed.

I hope RDZ gets a great send off today.
I'm in Japan currently so I won't be able to join in from the East Upper, but I'll be watching at midnight.

No point in getting upset, it seems like an amicable end to an inevitable conclusion.

If you're sat with you girlfriend planning your holiday to the south of france and she's banging on about going to the carribean with the rich fella next door you have three options. 1. Up the creditcard limit and try and keep her happy 2. Throw your toys out the pram, have a huge argument and have a painful break up or 3. Agree you both want different things and breakup like adults.

Thankfully for us Bloom chose option 3

I'm welling up with that accurate and beautiful analogy

I hope they don’t actually let you ref. You appear to be even more incoherent than Simon Hooper.

I cannot wait for today’s bullshit to be over.
Me too to be honest, l was confroned by the news when l stepped off a flight from the States early this morning.

Not quite sure what to make of it really, as per usual l am playing Devils Advocate, on the one hand TB & PB's seeming lack of ambition and not building on last season's 6th polaced finish and adding quality players to the squad, as RDZ wanted, and on the other hand disappointed that our manager seemingly gave up on us so easily.

With us almost certainly finishing in the bottom half of the table, morale amongst fans and probably the players too suddenly low, l am seriously worried about next season.
