You might find this interesting I am half way through. He does have traits of Gus Poyet. I remember Ankergran used to hold onto the ball and wait for a player to approach him so space would appear further up the pitch.Our defence is going to do that now.

I feel the club has missed an opportunity to approach the very best manager they could've wanted. We are 4th in PL have played outstanding football and are admired by many in the game. I hope to be proven wrong but i'm very underwhelmed by the appointment

We are 4th in the Premier League and admired by many in the game because we are a well structured outfit that has decided on how we wish to play, how we wish to operate in the transfer market and what kind of coaching we need to get the best from the type of players we sign. We've appointed the type of manager who we think fits our model. Just because most of us hadn't heard of him until last week doesn't mean he's not the best fit for us. Going for a name manager, suited to working in clubs with far larger resources than ours would be a move completely against our methodology. De Zerbi is not a guarantee of success, but he does represent a plan for continuity.

Exciting appointment but I know that he and his team have to get work permits, so I'm assuming he won't be allowed on the training ground until those are through

We should send the players to Italy to train for 10 days

How can you be so down on a guy before he has even had a game in charge yet? I don't know if he will be great here either, but has a good background and fits in with how we like to do things. Who's to say he wasn't their preferred choice all along?

He's been down on Roberto De Zerbi more than once from the posts ive read.

I don't wish to appear rude, but we have been doing that continually ever since, gradually stepping up the ability of our keeper to do that with Stockdale, Ryan and the Big Bob

Welcome Bob The Zebra

My brother sent me one of these tactical videos and I thought his style of play looked very similar to Poyet’s.

Rumours has it that the club until the last second was choosing between the manager they wanted or the manager they could have wanted, but eventually went with the one they wanted.

A work permit for RDZ isn't what's under discussion here - it appears that because of the sporting excellence - or whatever it's called - status it is a gimme. It's his small army of assistants that might take a bit of time. Don't know why they can't hang out at Lancing, unpaid, just for the fun of it for a few days though.

Like this maybe?

I mean literally standing still with the ball. Nobody has done that the way Ankergran used to do it, from this video I think we will be doing that.

The poor fella learnt his English in Croydon. Give him a break.

Maybe the club didn't want to 'do' a Chelsea, and only went for out of work managers. Seems a coincident that he was chosen, and someone on this thread suggested he was the only one spoken to for the vacancy. Let's hope he's good for BHA. At least he has CL experience for when . . . I'll leave it there.

First Press Conference!!!!!

"Ciao, miei piccoli amici inglesi. Sono qui per gestire la tua squadra di football e fare l'amore con delle belle donne inglesi. Mi piacciono le macchine veloci e i vestiti eleganti. Non ci saranno Mary Queens nella mia squadra. Ho portato mia mamma a cucinare per la squadra e mangeremo la pasta. Preparati per la massima eccitazione. A presto."

 

[GT49er]

Perhaps so but given the club has never been in a better position to attract a top manager why have we settled for not even second best? That's what I do not understand.

The reasomm we didn't go for a Poch, a Pep or a Conte for example - or whatever sort of fantasy 'top' manager you're waffling about - is exacty the same reason we haven't gone for Haaland, CR7 or Ibrahimovich to solve our 'striker problem'. If you can't understand that, I suggest following Brighton isn't for you.

Believe that you'll believe anything. TB and PB would have gone for whomever they felt was the best man for the job. He was only available because of the small issue of a war.
