[Albion] Junior Press Conference

[Change at Barnham]

Did RDZ hint at a contract extension for Mitoma at one point?

The way he said that he told Kaoru that he wanted to improve him over the next two, three, four years left me thinking that Roberto is planning to stay that long too.
I know that people say that you make your own luck in life, but I can't help thinking that Uncle Tony isn't just a genius, he's a very lucky genius.

And that we're all very lucky to have the best Owner, CEO and Manager in the whole of the Premier League.

 

[Taybha]

Certainly a improvement on the usual press conference questions.

 

[ac gull]

Yes I thought this meant a new longer contract on the way for RDZ too

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Find a CEO who looks at you like PBOBE looks at RDZ.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

You can just imagine the Potter equivalent with the kids...

Kid: What is your favourite colour?
GP: It is what it is

GP: we’ll try and win the f***ing champions league…. err, well it’s beige, actually

 

[Hugo Rune]

"without football difficult will be my life". I love him.

There is something about him isn’t there.

No surprise that when he looks Solly in the eye and tells him he is one of the best players in the world, he believes him and then tries his best to prove it every match. He spotted Solly’s big weakness (confidence) and went about fixing it, even before he officially joined the club.

He is astonishingly charismatic and inspiring.

Quite how Tony managed to upgrade Potter with him and turn a horrifically negative situation into probably the best manager signing this club have ever done is beyond me.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

that is really really good.

Says a lot about how interesting he is that even Barber barely pipes up.

And hinting at a new contract for Mitoma too.

Great stuff

 

[Jim in the West]

Just got to the end. One of the most heart warming things I have seen for a long time. What a man. My god we were lucky that Chelsea took Potter. My god we were lucky that Tony Bloom brought Roberto here. Incredible.

Indeed - the best way possible to get over last Saturday.

Naylor says no

"without football difficult will be my life"

Has anyone ever seen Roberto and Yoda in the same room at the same time?

 

[The Fits]

I don't think he specifically meant a new contract, just that he was telling Karou there's no rush to leave.
He's intense but such a lovely chap.
Great gesture from him and the club (and brownie points for RDZ not patronising the liluns).

 

[ozzygull]

This was actually the real press conference

 

[Easy 10]

When you see him like this, its so easy to see just how inspiring he is to his players. He gives them structure, confidence, belief and identity, and we are all seeing the results of that now. Whilst other clubs are chasing their tails for the next flashy "big name" on the managerial merry-go-round, TB and PB quietly pluck this incredible guy from the dole queue, and...wow. His sheer charisma gets me giddy.

[nsclurker]

From this point on, I will pronounce decision the way RDZ does as it is clearly better. What a gent.

That’s exactly what I thought.

Yeah exactly.

And regarding the way he answered the kids' questions, I think he's just physically incapable of not saying what he actually thinks - at most he can refrain from answering altogether like he does regarding ref decisions. He loves talking about football and his ideas no matter who his audience is.

From this point on, I will pronounce decision the way RDZ does as it is clearly better. What a gent.

Lol as an Italian I probably understand him better than you guys because I know the Italian pronunciation rules he has in mind when he says stuff like that, but he does now have this ensemble of regular words that he just keeps pronouncing in the exact same hilariously wrong way each time. "Dechishion" is just one of them

"feesh an cheep"

Yep. The man just oozes charisma. You would just follow everything he says. It's easy to see why an experienced pro like Lallana who has been there and done it would fall in love with him.

I love him, the other half OBVIOUSLY loves him and our kids love him. As much as I thought Potter was great, I think it's fair to say he never had that effect on women and 6 and 8 year old's!

The bloke is class.

And let's speak plainly, middle aged men!
