Okie doke. My point is, you don’t actually know. So it could be a planted story. I’m not saying it is, but it could be.

I’ve been keeping one eye on St Pauli all season so there’s no question this would be a left field appointment (literally). As a conservative-minded chap I could be persuaded. . .
I'm all in with hurzeler as well .... Although both him and Rydstrom could go horribly wrong and we could be back to cooper types.
Sticking with maccer not being good enough for a top 4 EPL team. Let's see next season with the new boy in charge.
And how about Kudus and Hinselwood? Premier League players again next season or falling down the leagues?
And can we have a couple of fresh Dwayne hot takes for the new season please?!

As a fellow lifelong football fan, I’ve learnt through experience to shut out the scattergun stories from the tabloids (haven’t we all) and an army of social media liars trying to give up their real job.
Through trial and error, I found the nuggets only come from the broadsheets, Ornstein, Melissa Reddy and Alex Crook. The Athletic is pay only, I don’t subscribe, so I wouldn’t know if they’re highly reliable too. I’m not bothered about their secret sauces, but I do know that they seem to come up with the goods.
Fair play. But how do you define not good enough? If Liverpool finish top 4, and Mac plays over 2/3 of the EPL games, I’d say he is “good enough for a top 4 EPL team”. He’ll do this imho. Do you have different criteria?
If we were a Championship club, yes.

Just shows what an absolute bollock we’ve dropped in dispensing with RDZ when these 3 are left on the shortlist. Ye Gods

Agreed.
Doesn't matter that he's a quality manager, he had the absolute AUDACITY to mildly patronise the negative minority at the Amex who forgot (or weren't there) where we came from and decided to boo despite being safe and dry in the Premier League. Not to mention, the CHEEK to say that life at Brighton was easier than working for Boehly and the entitled Chelsea fans. Don't even get me STARTED on the fact he left us with the best ever Brighton squad, on a high, to leave for five times the salary and ten times the transfer budget at a bigger club - what kind of scum bag would do that?!
I totally agree with you - we should settle for some mediocre unknown random who may well get us into a relegation battle, rather than go for a quality, proven former Albion manager, who said some things that mildly offended a few of our fans.

But, you can never say for certain that a rumor is proven.
Edited for you
RDZ wanted us to splash out on mid career players with limited resale value in the hope of immediate success so he could look good and get his big move next year.
I don't blame him, it's his career, but I wholeheartedly believe his wishes were in his interest, not the club's.

I wonder if that’s why it’s a rumour?

Sorry, but I think you are wrong. I loved De Zerbi but the relationship between him and the club seemed to have soured.
I think this window could be a really exciting one for us and yet it seemed like with Roberto it was going to have to veer away from our model for transfers. That can’t happen so we needed to move on and we did it in a very respectful way to him.
Both Hurzeler and Rydstrom seem like risks but I prefer both to someone like Cooper.
Plus, if it takes either one a little time to find their feet then Bloom and Barber will give them that. The squad is certainly good enough for mid table and so we can take a bit of a risk.
It would be Hurzeler for me as I think he has the Bayern winning mentality at his core and seems to have the coaching ability, tactical acumen and intelligence to adapt.
