Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

[fernadez]

Rumours from Tottenham after the first week of sessions that the players are uncomfortable with de Zerbi's high intensity and are struggling to understand the demands of his system.

Further reports say they don't like his style of man management and senior players are thought to respond better to a Thomas Frank type personality.

Players have turned up late for training and are shocked at being asked to be on time and run for 90 minutes in games. One source reported as saying, 'he was gesticulating wildly at me, and it's not an ideal scenario for me to give my best'.

The polar opposite of TF.

At least it won’t be dull!

*phew!*

 

[Finney Is Back]

Director of Football or Head of Recruitment at Coventry. We need one of those but he might have to step down a division next year to join us.

How well are they paying you there mate? You might be able to get a bigger wage even dropping a division to come back 'home'

 

[Finney Is Back]

Conversely - Pahlinha, Dragusin and Vicario will be the ones who struggle with him due to their poor passing.

It will be interesting to see what he does with GK - we might even see Austin or Gunter, if they are the best with their feet

I thought that being good with his feet was supposed to be Kinsky's biggest strength?

Yup, I sincerely hope that all those who are questioning the appointment of RDZ have long since burned any Gascoigne shirts they have on account of him being a convicted racist and wife-beater!!

What the Gazza documentary gets wrong about domestic violence

Contemporary fiction on screen increasingly tells the stories of abusive men in a realistic way. This documentary does not.

Yeah, never had his name on a shirt or a shirt for that matter.
Only name was Hoddle, and only player tshirts were Glenn, Sheringham, and Cruyff (the last because he was a beautiful player I was lucky enough to see several times).

Frank was number 1 choice last summer for this season.
Di Zerbi was number 1 choice for this coming summer for next season.

They don’t have much choice as he’s going to be asked about it. Better to plan for it and - hopefully - get the messaging right.

It was spun as the club and he will welcome questions on it - but, yeah, you’re right.

Welcome Roberto.

He's about the best available at the moment. Not sure why we didn't go all out to get him after Frank was sacked if he was who we wanted in the summer. He had just been sacked and was available. Don't see him being here beyond two seasons (then again, who would be). Not too worried about that, the only thing that matters is the next 7 games.

 

[Baleforce]

I hope he fudging beasts the useless clams.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

I think he is a good, possibly great coach
I think some his attitudes are not my liking
I’ll support him for sure
Not sure I’ll idolise him though
That’s fine
He is here to make the team better

 

[Mrs Vert]

Not with 3 players he won't!

And further down we go as we know our board are allergic to spending money on proven grown up and ready made men

 

[FolkestoneSpur]

Wish we had made that bet instead of Tudor but it is what it is. I'm so annoyed, i cant make the Brighton game - there's going to be some atmosphere for that...could the "great escape" be possible?

Hopefully we’ll get Lamela to join our coaching staff and the fear of being on the end of some Wheelchair treatment will get these pussies to buck up their ideas!
