The Brighton love affair continues in The Times/Sunday Times. Today it features Deniz Undav as well as RDZ.

He's a genius. As others have said, other managers, with more experience and at bigger clubs, are wholesale ripping off his ideas. His impact on football is going to be absolutely huge (if Guardiola is changing his own tactics because of the things he watches RDZ do it's clear how highly his philosophy is regarded). This isn't mind games from managers (as it would've been when they were about to play us under Potter) they're genuinely in awe. Imagine what he could do with a City or Real Madrid.
We are watching a footballing revolution in real time being led by our little old club.

Great players, yes, but players who are all committed to the project and believing in what RDZ is trying to achieve. Because this group has grown with him he should remember what happened to Potter when he saw the bright lights, because the team Potter inherited on paper should have been achievers but they were just a bunch of good players not prepared to follow his ideas.
RDZ says all the things that make me think he is here for the long haul - I hope I’m right.

I heard the H and J show on talkSport trail a call they had upcoming from a Brighton fan/journalist about issues with De Zerbi and the clubs transfer plans but then I had to stop listening.

Did anyone catch it? Who was the journo and anything interesting/new or just rehashed Daily Mail bullshit?

It's bull. So he is at one of the best run clubs in the world, in the best league in the world and the one thing he isn't happy about is our slightly unorthodox transfer policy despite that yielding the likes of Mac, Mitoma and Moises and having just spent £30 million on one player before the window even opens? It's just shit stirring and click bait.

Nice comments apparently from De Zerbi....

"He repeated to me that he's having a lot of fun and that at the moment he's having a hard time thinking about other teams since Brighton is something unique," added the former Bari footballer.

That show is complete rubbish - having Cassano as host should be enough of an indicator - but at least it was semi-useful for once (RDZ simply repeated what he already said 100 times.)

raggazino
*ragazzino 🧐 ("young boy")

Though I'd call him ragazzone ("big boy, big lad") the way he's built

It was our very own @Not Andy Naylor (I won't try and spell Nick's surname)

He didn't say anything that we don't already know but said RDZ was unlikely to leave in the summer.

Reliable source, but another reliable one says he’s excited for next season 🤔

What a weird article. The first two paragraphs follow the thread of the headline, the next fifteen talk about how RDZ wants to take a more active role in recruitment this summer. Those two bits of insider knowledge don't seem to interact with each other...

He's leaving but he also wants to be more heavily involved in squad building for next season apparently.

Exactly, with some actual quotes from the man himself (while acknowledging that things can change) as opposed to heresay...

“I had to leave Shakhtar after eight months and I did it reluctantly and to leave Brighton after the same amount of time would seem to me like not getting the job done.

“My will is to stay, then I will have to talk to the club and discuss what they expect, what they want, what their ambitions are. I won’t put my hand on it, but my will is to stay.”
