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

[Jim in the West]

Read De Zerbi’s statement

Yes - I've read it. It's clear he's leaving. But the precise point that the contract is terminated isn't clear. But who knows what the deal is - perhaps TB and PB are either (a) glad to be shot of him, or (b) happy to give up on compensation to expedite things and/or effectively say "Thank You" to RDZ.

Disclaimer- Ed Aarons is Palace.

Could he cope with the egos of the big club players?

 

[getz]

I wonder if Adam will be joining Di Zerbi's coaching team?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Another song gone

Take the positive that the cringy “De Zerbi’s right, the refs are shite” dies tomorrow

 

[elwheelio]

McKenna now evens with SkyBet

Well I guess that discussion about the future didn't go too well

'This club is serious' - RDZ says tough season can be crucial for Albion's progress

Roberto De Zerbi was asked for his vision for Brighton next season.

Seems like RDZ was telling the truth with that one. When he said bloom hardly ever spoke to him and gave him 30 minutes. With this in mind got to imagine bloom had the finger on the trigger for a while.

Bearing in mind he is just leaving by mutual consent who would be expecting to pay any compensation?

The last 3 people I have got rid of at work, all left by ‘mutual consent’. Each had a six month pay off. Polite term for we want you to go but you resign and take a small pay off.

Hilarious so many on here thought Bayern would be interested in de zerbi !!

De zerbis best hope is bologna or some dump in Saudi.

Naylor's dug himself a hole there. God knows why he replied !

My thoughts:

Nowhere near as gutted as I was when Potter left as it’s felt like this has been on the cards for months

Despite mutual agreement line this was a Bloom decision. Hes has acted decisively so we have the best chance of having a good preseason.

Shame it’s over so soon but better now than mid summer or worse mid season.

 

[Invicta]

Shame but feel he left a couple of months ago in his head. Great Times. UTA.

 

[GloryDays]

Sorry to say, but feels like the beginning of the end, like when we sacked Laudrup.

Hope I'm wrong. You need to get someone to continue your current style.. someone like Russel Martin, Graham Potter... Knutsen, Pimienta

You may well be right. We are certainly at the top of a recent arc. Whether we plummet back to L1 or do anything like that I’m not sure. There’s no denying there is a ceiling for clubs like us. Chelsea have proven there is a hierarchy and a market. We’re a selling club.

 

[Lever]

Obviously RDZ will be accompanied with all his italian coaches, and I agree that Gross is also on his way..
Are any other people going who we will certainly miss?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Why now and not after tomorrows game, create an atmos. or sell seats?

I’d imagine the majority of fans would see his time here as successful and wish him well for the future?

 

[Ernest]

Never liked him ANYWAY, these SPAINIARDS Iike De ZEBRI and BURNO are too HIGH maintenance. We need a TRIED and tested ENGLISH manager next, has BLOOM got Tony PULIS' number HANDY ?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I wonder if he really went to the dentist in Italy?

I have a filling he didn’t

 

[Weststander]

Could he cope with the egos of the big club players?

Is he joining Leeds?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

We have one of the youngest squads we have ever had, actually stronger than we started last season, all a year more experienced and haven't extended Lallana. How does this constitute a 'crossroads' exactly

As @Weststander has pointed out, a lack of players in their prime years. Plenty of youngsters, plenty of players the wrong side of 30.

To say it’s stronger than we started last season is laughable nonsense.
