[Albion] Roberto De Zerbi - JOINS AS NEW HEAD COACH (4 year contract)

[warmleyseagull]

Interesting, but my main conclusion from that is the writer fancies himself as far more of a literary talent than he actually is.

Indeed - try this "De Zerbi’s strategy transcends mere functionality as his tactical approach provokes us to question even our most deep-seated footballing beliefs."

Blimey, I thought the aim was to score more goals than the oppo; 60 years of false belief; I/m ruined.

I must say that when I first head his name there were the first things that came to mind.
Ant like Dr Who enemies that weren't scary at all. I wanted one as a pet aged about 7.

I thought exactly the same!

 

[Biscuit]

We're they the same ants that terrified Sarah Jane into a near swoon? Or maybe that was the giant maggots.

Giant maggots.

The Zarbi we're giant ants.

Easy mistake!

 

[ozzygull]

Get him in, new manager bounce.
Boing, said De Zerbi.

If he joins I think we will all have a spring in our step.

 

[Guinness Boy]

It's on Medium. What were people expecting? Paul Hayward?

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Giant maggots.

The Zarbi we're giant ants.

Easy mistake!

Well, I DO know the difference between a giant ant and a giant maggot. I was just wondering aloud which it was that upset Sarah Jane so.

Neither, it was giant flies that terrified Sarah Jane, and then she was possessed by a giant spider.

Down to 10/1 on SkyBet with Haise storming all the markets. Could be good value now.

Now 12/1.

Hopefully not many NSCers backed this particular horse. Maybe the interview didn’t go very well?

A bit of money for him on the Betfair exchange, making him the current favourite. A very thin market though - https://www.betfair.com/exchange/pl...fKQXYpWxw/AkOYiSC1XdexFjMnqOkKRRn20n6v4AusuCR



Probably attracted some betting interest after this article: https://www.calciomercato.com/news/brighton-de-zerbi-il-futuro-e-aperto-71952

"Among the names at the top of the Brighton wish list is also that of Roberto De Zerbi, with whom there have been contacts in recent days. First approaches, which have not yet led to an agreement"

 

[JetsetJimbo]

Apparently Juventus are interested in Roberto De Zerbi as a replacement for Allegri. Can't see us beating them to him, if that's true. Though at the moment I suspect it might just be social media chatter (apparently their fans on social media want Allegri out and De Zerbi in, which I can imagine is enough for some lazy journos to pen stories like this one)

According to Italian media no approach has been made by Juventus.

Across all betting sites haise is favourite. That article is saying nothing new, an Italian reporter already said on Sunday that zerbi had been approached and this is what it's referencing.

Haise fave.....

Sounds promising!

 

[chaileyjem]

Journalists in Italy, Sky, and Romano all now reporting this is “progressing well”

[Solid at the back]

This guy would be my preference

 

[WhingForPresident]

Di Marzio's piece here, doesn't contain much more info tbh but it sounds promising:

https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/de-zerbi-brighton-news-16-settembre-2022

In 'advanced talks' but with some 'important steps' still to be agreed. Talks set to continue in the coming hours.

Sounds like he is our guy, let's hope we can get it done.
