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

[Eeyore]

Wayhay! We got there in the end!

Always the argument of last resort

I was hoping you could answer the question ?

The reaction to that from a lot of fans was a bit wierd. Celebrating like he’d commited his career to the club when he’d said nothing committal at all. Like Naylor’s wierd article this morning which headlined that he’d declared he was staying when again, there was nothing at all about being committed, just more jibberish about targets and talking to the board. An article which has now been deleted

Exactly right
All he said was if he woke up feeling happy and loving what he did he would be staying
He’s hit his melancholy obviously

Well, we won't have any more of those threads unless the new guy is also young and very good

I was thinking more about this Summer, not the next manager. But I take your point!

The timing is great. Closure for the season, closure for RDZ, closure for the fans. Big credit to TB and PBOBE for not faffing about

Feck, what a surprise, but maybe shouldn't be! Remember Hughton and that call and being surprised then too, but maybe shouldn't have been.

Bloom has got big balls, and so far they have always proved right.

Bloom decided a few games before the end that CH had to be sacked. All and sundry, even a bottom three Warnock team, were outplaying shockingly sh1t Albion teams.

Gutted.

Totally Gutted.

Why The Absolute F is it "Mutual" ?

'Albion Mojo' ----> Zero.

Christ on a Bike - This has ruined my summer.

 

[Springal]

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

Sorry ? I’m talking about how much cash he’s put in now with very little return

 

[boik]

There's a fair chance that he's delivered the most successful season we'll see in our life time. The vitriol aimed at him is odd.

Not when you see who the vitriolic posters are. Usual suspects.

 

[Man of Harveys]

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

Imagine when he’s walking out at Bayern or Juventus next season. All he’ll be able to think about as he’s greeted by 60,000 fans will be “I cannot believe that bloke didn’t sing the song.” He’ll be HAUNTED.

Oh, I see what you mean!! None of those threads for a few weeks then

 

[albionalex]

Does that mean he can join another club without any buy out cash incoming ?
Seems like we are giving him away and missing out on £15 million or whatever it was if true.

Gutted.
Love his style of football and his touch line antics. Mutual consent is always a strange one as it looks like we have written off a fair few ££ if/when he goes somewhere else. His next club will be lucky to have him

Mind games with bloom maybe. Didn't want to quit. Wanted the pay off, or at least the chance to join another club without them paying compensation.

I am pretty sure his next club will still have to pay us compo.

Tough decision for Tony, but if the choice is this or spend BIG this summer to keep a manager happy that could jump ship anyway & leave us in a mess later down the line, then this now happening starts to look like the sensible decision. If what would have kept RDZ happy was spending say 20-30% over what we normally do in the summer then maybe Tony would have gone for it, so I can only imagine the clubs budget and RDZ's demands were incredibly wide apart. & if you can't agree on budgets and targets, then its only a matter of time before the manager would have taken the next job offer.... I think Tony is righty putting a lot of value in doing things on our own terms.

 

[Guinness Boy]

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

He’ll lose a lot more if we get relegated, a bit more if we finish down the table and don’t get Europe and be in trouble if we can’t develop our youngsters. A manager like De Zerbi has to be seen in total cost / total income terms.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Why? For keeping a wary eye on the club ownership? Haven't you learnt anything?

I think you obviously care but some of your posts are a bit one-sided.

The timing is great. Closure for the season, closure for RDZ, closure for the fans. Big credit to TB and PBOBE for not faffing about

.....and knowing the way that they always have their next plan ready (as PBOBE has stated frequently) you can probably add that they've already selected the replacement...

 

[raymondo]

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

We could sell the flag to RDZ...or his new club if it's announced soon.

When potter left I was absolutely gutted. I am mid 40s but I was genuinely sad about it and it lasted a long time. This felt inevitable and although it has been fun under RDZ I am over it already.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I’m in the ‘worried about what this means for the summer transfer plans’ camp.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The timing is great. Closure for the season, closure for RDZ, closure for the fans. Big credit to TB and PBOBE for not faffing about

And far less credit to them for their lack of ambition

 

[Garyoldfan]

Fvck him. Good riddance.

This is the 1 and ONLY time I’ll agree with you !!
