[Albion] Roberto De Zerbi To Leave Albion After Tomorrow's Game

[Gazwag]

I hope the flag doesn’t make an appearance and hopefully no roberto de Zerbi song

I will gladly carry the flag and sing his name to celebrate our best ever season last year and beating all 4 opponents in Europe and stuffing Palace 4-1

 

[the wanderbus]

Maybe we’re after Southgate?

If we had that rail toothed wanker as manager I’d be ringing the club to cancel my season ticket before the announcement was over.

 

[Marxo]

It was good while it lasted, the stacking up of injuries seemed to sap his enthusiasm and he's too ambitious to have patience.
I'm sure that in the hands of Tony and Paul we'll stay healthy for years to come with the occasional high point.

 

[Bridcutt]

In the real world his investment so far would be terrible - £400M down !

How would you know the value unless he tried to sell? What a stupid comment

 

[Eeyore]

Sad, but sensible giving time for a replacement to be found and step in. If you don’t like Tony’s way, time for the highway.

This with a blue and white scarf on.

He's been very good for us, building on Potter's work.

But he's been so gobby since things haven't been so good and need to reign in it or walk. He's a managing journeyman, us and Tony are here permanently.

I believe that the downturn in form has links to his constant witterings about this and that.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Some younger fans not impressed

 

[Rambo]

I still maintain that something big happened behind the scenes back in Feb after the Wolves game. That when everything went bandy. Interesting that’s the player liaison office is also ‘retiring’ and didn’t look that happy about it at the awards. Lallanas strange interview and subsequent leaving.

Big changes in the club incoming.

 

[Mackenzie]

Managers and players come and go, tomorrow is another day.

 

[Gazwag]

Bollocks! He did well with Potters players and proved he is a one season wonder this season! Hope TB sacked overrated twat!

People wonder why the atmosphere is so rubbish with anti supporters such as yourself

 

[kevtherev]

The second he started to believe his own press, this was inevitable. People will always look at RDZ with rose tinted glasses. But the truth is he inherited a great team, he was very lucky in that respect. The keeper switching, The naive approach to Roma away, Letting Undav leave, the horrific injuries, Public slatting of Bloom, Ferguson shadow of last season and pretty much piss poor form certainly since Xmas.....Although his style was a breath of fresh air and certainly the best football, i've ever seen in my 45+ years of following the Albion. I think he is a bit of a one trick pony and however good that trick maybe. It's only a matter of time before, its stops working and it has to a certain extent.

 

[Kosh]

For me this is best for all parties. Roberto has been flat for months, performances have dropped off with it, something has been off…

The fans forum was a bit odd, as it seemed that perhaps talks had offset the above and a pragmatic future beckoned… but maybe RDZ thought again and decided he’s no pragmatist ! lol … that and he wanted a free hand to return home and/or manage a club like Bayern.

We’d also been found out and he was having to alter his beloved tactical disposition to suit the squad, again too pragmatic for Roberto…

Having said all of that, the renewing of Welbz and Milner’s contracts hailed as key to next season by RDZ does suggest the squeaky wheels came off sonewhat abruptly… which is a bit odd ?!?

Hey ho, he’s gone we move on after tomorrow.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

And all that lovely prime real estate...

You are a very strange person. You purport to be an Albion fan but are always the first to put the boot in.

 

[oldboyroy]

Staggered at this news but not surprised. You simply can't go spouting off at your owners. Its a shame but we move on

 

[um bongo molongo]

We must have someone lined up. Potter was sat in the waiting room when Hughton went.

He might be sat there again!

 

[Luke93]

Thanks Roberto for your hard work and delivering the best football in my 30 year fan lifetime.

 

[Miami Seagull]

Absolutely gutted. Shocked.

 

[Guinness Boy]

He might be sat there again!

At least I’ll be able to have a kip at home games again I suppose.

 

[Eeyore]

Shameful by the club, whose limitations of ambition have been fully exposed by RDZ. Buy cheap, give the fans two seasons entertainment, sell on at a stonking profit. Rinse, repeat, rejoice at the operating profit. Hurrah! (said nobody other than an accountant ever)

LET'S ALL STAY BEHIND ON SUNDAY AND GIVE RDZ THE HERO'S FAREWELL HE SO RICHLY DESERVES

You paying Tony back his hundreds of millions and losses in funding a better team, or do we need a whip round tomorrow ?

 

[Napper]

Assume it means that all the coaching team will be gone .

Hope we move quickly

 

[Seagull1989]

We played some great football under RDZ. Going back to about October last year, I went into every game thinking we’d score and had a decent chance of winning, no matter the opposition.

Since the turn of the year our form has been abysmal and his general demeanour has been pessimistic. Negativity breeds negativity.

I’m not upset that he’s going at all. It was king of expected and he’s never stayed too long at any club he’s been at.
