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

[Guinness Boy]

Start of the decline?

Got to trust the process even if we’re a little bit upset by the process.

Bloom is nothing of not decisive. Suspect club wanted a cast iron commitment to next season and that he couldn't/wouldn't give it.

Guess Bloom also got tired of RDZ whining and demands.

 

[dwayne]

obvious in recent months he didn’t really want to be here. what’s bizarre is the recent media pieces were angled towards him staying. naylor’s article yesterday that he was ‘adamant’ about staying, saying he wanted lallana to sign for another year, taking about what positions he wanted to recruit in the summer. very strange.

sad news really as we all know what the team was capable of under RDZ. working assumption has to be that there was conversations about what the club were doing in the summer transfer-wise and once again he and bloom were miles apart

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.

 

[British Bulldog]

Thank you RDZ for
our great times, The King is Dead long live the King.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

TBs not releasing the purse strings

Fair enough. Tho he'll be releasing his EPL place soon enough

(will still have some lovely prime real estate in place tho )

[BadFish]

Such a shame they could not work it out but I am glad we are not changing our formula for no one.

Loads of good managers out there. Still got a great young squad. But must hang on to gross.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Oh no .........anyway.

 

[essbee1]

The best footballing period in 25+ years of following the albion. Thanks Roberto.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Got to trust the process even if we’re a little bit upset by the process.

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

 

[brighton_tom]

Guessing really... but after everything that's been said by Bloom and Barber about wanting to keep RDZ, surely it must be that in their recent discussions Tony found RDZ's demands on transfers just too much & wasnt willing to make promises that could financially hurt the club or get us into FFP trouble.

 

[Beach Hut]

TBs not releasing the purse strings

So we never paid £30m for Baleba or Pedro ?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Start of the decline?

Yup. Selling club status confirmed

 

[pigbite]

It’s a shame. I was hoping he and TB/PB would reach an understanding on money and recruitment moving forward but this suggests that they can’t find that.

Best now than in the middle of next season.

He’s done a great job but I fully expect the succession planning has been in full swing for some time.

 

[DJ NOBO]

RDZ‘s Albion (briefly) played the best football ever seen at the club imo.
Hopefully that’s how he will be remembered as that period may never be matched.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Well that's put me off my afternoon cream tea

 

[indy3050]

I’m glad. He’s moaned about everything, NOBODY had ever heard of him before we have him a job in the ‘best league in the world’

Clearly been found out towards the end of the season, players not motivated, can’t be motivated.

It was Potters work anyway.

Next…

Maybe not yet lined up. But perhaps waiting for the bell to go at the end of break
