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

[pocketseagull]

For a time we had one of the most coveted coaches in football in charge, the despair we brought to rival teams, players and managers, innovative and envied. Horrible feeling our next appointment will be dull.

 

[Deadly Danson]

This is why I love football. It's just a sit com. Bit of panto. Now we go into new manager chat. Lovely stuff.

100% this. All part of the fun.

 

[Springal]

Allegedly he had a bust up with Dunk a few weeks back, the final straw perhaps

 

[Hugo Rune]

Mutually agreed, I'm sure that the parting is amicable. It was great fun

Indeed. He wouldn’t be managing tomorrow if they’d have been a Poyet style fall out.

Us fans have a chance to say goodbye.

 

[dwayne]

Or could be Bayern

Or bit more realistic Bologna who have just reached the champions league and are managerless.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Disclaimer- Ed Aarons is Palace.

Mis-leading headline in that tweet - Aaron’s actual tweet says “try and tempt”.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Russell Martin?

Also I don’t get the criticism of the club making a profit in this thread and elsewhere. Businesses are supposed to make a profit.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

We have

Let’s see. Club picked up when CH left but Poyet’s departure led to the first team being run down for 2 seasons.

Will be reinstating my relegation misery hedge bet next season.

We have cast our net far and wide and altered the quality of our targets enormously since Poyet, the club is in an entirely different position. Bloom and Barber have had a long time to prepare for this, one can only hope (and I am glass half full) that their contingency will continue to be high quality as Potter and RDZ were.

 

[dwayne]

How long do you think we'll see Pedro in the Stripes for? He'll be gone in Summer 2025 at the latest at a nice little profit *board already rubbing hands in anticipation*

2 years is fair enough.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Legend (even considering relatively short tenure)

Me too.

 

[Affy]

I don’t know how I feel. Part of me is surprised. Part of me saw it coming. Part of me is sad and disappointed. Part of me is pleased as results have been poor.

Just hope we get a good replacement in.

Any wagers on De Zerbi to replace e Poch?

 

[Swegulls]

Sooo, who’s in then?

 

[Albion my Albion]

Why does anyone want to be a lame duck manager? It does nothing for the manager or the team.

Start using the people who want to manage in Brighton.

 

[amexer]

I will not wait behind to clap him

 

[Taybha]

Welcome to Brighton Mr Edwards.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

2 years is fair enough.

It's never going to be any longer, apart from the duds that we can't flog on at a profit

 

[Springal]

Another 2 year spell on his CV then

 

[Is it PotG?]

No Europa, 10th at best, no manager.

I can hear a few 'how do I apply for cancellation of 24/25 ST?'

 

[Grizz]

I don't think we'll ever see the likes of that football again at the Albion and for that I will forever be thankful to RDZ. He's shown what can be achieved. Something just went south since January and I'm not actually surprised by the announcement. I mean the injury list was utterly crippling of course, but you just have to crack on with it and adapt. Be interesting to see who comes in.
