Clumsy wording, perhaps? Maybe he means there are bigger things than that going on that are more important.
[Albion] RDZ out

Agree.Actually I think I said a lot -it was an opinion you may disagree with but it wasn’t nothing. This thread is entitled ‘RDZ Out’ and yet there is only one sentence in your entire post relating to anything RDZ actually has control over and I do agree, that was a bizarre and ineffective set up today playing VH in a DM position - it may have more to do with needing to use Baleba because Gilmour was out and on his own is weak. Dunno.
- as for the rest, we have a business plan and the Club is in the hands of one of the most respected CEOs in the industry ( including in Europe) and largely financed by its number one fan. We have no idea what conversations took place between Bloom and RDZ in January- all RDZ said in January was that we were short of 2 or 3 players - many observers attributed his comments to the number of injuries we had at the time and interviewers asking directly how that was impacting the team rather than RDZ ‘saying TB needed to buy 2-3 players in January. He could even have been referring to how far the squad needs to develop in the longer term before it gets to where his project needs it to be.
Like with all these negative threads about RDZ, much of the narrative created about RDZ being pissed off with TB/PB is generated by fans reading things into press conferences that may simply not be there or sports media rags looking for click bait. I honestly don’t know but don’t have inside info on the inner workings of the management and executive control of the Club so will probably never will.
i certainly didn’t say we cant be pissed off with the way we are playing - I posted as much on the match thread and several others today saying exactly that ( I was absolutely pilloried for being pissed off last week because we only managed a draw against Everton).
I can only reasonably assume that any manager would be pissed off with our level of performance at the moment especially in the final third and very frustrated with the never ending injury problem -I can also only assume too that TB/PB at least have absolutely the Club’s longterm best interests at heart in every decision they make.
Its time some people stopped soiling themselves every time the manager tuts, demanding he be sacked if he doesn't promise to stay forever, and predicting we are going into another Ice Age every time we lose two in a row. Which has happened once under the present manager so I read earlier. Not that I give a shit (by that I mean I don't immediately feel the need to top myself whenever we lose). We are EPL top 10 and still in Europe. That is what that is.
Good coach but hugely over rated. Bayern, Barca or Liverpool would be laughable. He’s so naive at times like tonight.
From his point of view, he shouldn’t go anywhere yet. He keeps reminding us we’re a small club and to be honest that is his correct level at the moment. He’s got a lot to learn.

Yep, top ten in Premier League with one of the lowest budgets and lots of injuries this season. Totally found out.

Season is over now isn’t it? Depressing thought. Was looking so good only a couple weeks ago and then…
So with lots of injuries he tries to play expansive tippy tappy football away from home in front of a hostile crowd? Zero game management. Should have squeezed a result out the ugly way, which we are utterly incapable of doing because he’s too stubborn. Instead we’ve been rinsed and we’re out.
I don’t want him to go but tonight’s team and formation was completely wrong. The Igor man marking option failed, should have started Fati and Veltman.
He needs to start earning his reputation over the next couple of months. Lose to Forest and season could be done.

Every team has had lots of injuries and do you honestly think we’ll finish top 10? We’ve been so poor for so long but been kept up there by our early season points.
I expect we’ll finish 14th behind Wolves, Chelsea, Fulham and Bournemouth who have all been better than us for a while and will soon overtake us and 14th is where we sit in the budget league. Out early in league cup, last 16 of Europa and FA cup and likely lower mid table in the league, it’s hardly impressive stuff.
RDZ benefitted from Potter’s work and an inherited world class midfield last season but this season which has been all him, he has been found out. He’s hugely over rated.

Those two statements do seem to contradict themselves
Do they? In what way?

Having finished 6th in the Premier League, still only three points off the European slots this year, and won a tough group in the first Euro outing, there are folk calling for De Zerbi to be sacked. All this from having one of the longest injury lists in the league and nowhere near the financial muscle to compete with at least 8 clubs.

If Albion have the 14th biggest budget, and have had to compete on many fronts having had amongst the worst of the injuries, I'd say they have done okay.
Turn the computer off and go and have a lie down. Breathe.
Nobody really wants RDZ out, we just want a bounce back.
Perhaps we should have spent some of that cash.
Here we go…
