That's precisely it. The Mrs very much agrees too.

[Albion] Roberto De Zerbi - JOINS AS NEW HEAD COACH (4 year contract)
- Thread starter macbeth
- Start date
It might be wishful thinking on my part but I’m not sure I’d see RDZ going to Chelsea.
I expect he’ll move on at some point of course but he seems to be quite careful on the clubs he chooses and I think he might wait for one that’s better run tbh, like City if Guardiola leaves or someone abroad. Boehly seems a bit erratic, spending all that money for Tuchel then sacking him, bringing in almost every part of the Brighton team but still managing to screw up the transfer for Fernandes and annoying them. It’s just a guess but I just don’t see RDZ being up for that stuff.

I didn't realise how young RDZ is, at only 43.
He's going to be around at the top for a long time, ever improving.

If we get 2.9 seasons out of RDZ, it'll be a minor and happy miracle.
Have to imagine there is a higher buyout fee for RDZ than Potter, pretty much ruling out any attempts to sign him from outside the PL.

If Potter does get sacked fairly promptly by Chelsea, the silver lining might be that the old big club arrogance might kick in and they think twice about going for managers from smaller clubs, and they'll be back to employing the Mourinho types for another few years. We can hope...
Shirley Poch is next man up.

When Potter gets sacked from Chelsea there will be calls to go after someone with a proven pedigree at top European clubs and I cannot see them taking another gamble on up and coming managers.
No chance, they're fooked.

It really is funny seeing him doing shit, but he takes time, entitled clubs do not buy into that. Hopefully Chelsea buck the trend. As for RDZ going there, christ that would be peak, but, could not see it myself!

I wonder if we push into European Conference, if the clubs stance of "not standing in the way of a move" will eventually change when we can start competing regularly at the top 7/8 places
The clubs stance won't change, it's just that the pool of buying clubs gets that little bit smaller.
We'll never not be able to stop sports washing nation states from shopping in our store, but I guess the dream is one day they'll be the only customers.
I love listening to de Zerbi's pressers. There are little gems of phrases in there, sometimes masked by his (fast improving 
) English:
When observed by the journo about how fast we start some games, he replied: yes, because it's easier to score at the beginning of the game than near the end, no?.
I have no idea whether stats support this for the Seagulls, but it's an insight into how he thinks.

32 of them want Biesla
Hope they get him when Potter is finally sacked in a few weeks. Biesla simply loves super hard working/training players, it will be hilarious to see if he can find any at Chelsea!

There is 90 minutes to score and most teams start slow to help them settle in to the game. A quick sustained pressure can help you take an early lead which then forces the game to open up. A brave tactic but one that appears to be working wellI love listening to de Zerbi's pressers. There are little gems of phrases in there, sometimes masked by his (fast improving

I'm likewise a fan of his conferences, and have noted him finishing sentences with no. There is something in what he says about starting fast. I still think the most devastating performance we've witnessed at the Amex in the PL was Liverpool's 5-1 mauling. What stood out was how quicker and more intense they were back then. No longer, we might be one of the best in the PL at this, and this illustrates the extent to which the profile of our squad has been transformed over the past 3 or 4 years.I love listening to de Zerbi's pressers.

Nahh
The only competition worth being in really is the champions league unfortunately. The other tournos, although fun for a club like us are pretty rubbish. I mean , rangers reached the final of the Europa League a year ago ffs.
