Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

[tommysvr]

I just wanted to quote your post because it is absolutely true. Our fanbase is so emotional and reactionary they create the rollercoaster themselves.

I agree. And I’m not saying people shouldn’t enjoy what he’s done or be excited for the future. I am too. It’s feels like a really good fit for the club and I think he can turn us around pretty quickly.

But even Ange has threads about winning the league within 3 months and they weren’t started by me! It didn’t take long for the support to unravel and if RDZ doesn’t get his way then it could go a similar way.

I just hope RDZ works to the conditions that were set out when he accepted the role. It would have been clear what sort of budgets he would be working under and what our transfer strategy and process is. He would have known what empowerment he had within that overall structure which should all be setup to make him successful. As long as he understands that, then we should be OK. It is where there is a mis-match of expectations that seems to trip us up with our different managers.

I still think that the Spurs job is a great one to have personally. It's even better now as those expectations have dropped because of the recent league finishes. 60 points and some good cup runs is about where we need to be at.

He's the first manager since Poch that gets us, that wants to be a Tottenham manager and can see the clubs potential.
Let's hope the club realise how important and rare that is.

This this and this again. The Board needs to buy the kind of players which De Zerbi needs: players who provide magic and sparkle. No more young hopefulls for a while, just two or three really transformative stars in midfield and attack.

To be fair, I think Postecoglou was happy to be here and he saw the club's potential. He wasn't happy to be sacked, but that's another story. Conte wasn't happy but I'd say that his meltdown shows he did believe in the club's potential but he was frustrated with the people he had to deal with.

Spurs fans need to not buy the media narrative around RDZ

He's shown he can restrain himself and set the tune that makes sense. It's amazing having seen Conte/Jose/other narcissist pricks at work, zero chance one of them would have taken the job and 3 or 4 games out wouldn't have made some comment about "I didn't put us here, so don't blame me if it goes wrong", he came in and said we could win all the games.

Spurs is the biggest job he has had, it's the most resources he has had, and we won't have to sell any player he wants to keep (an issue in previous clubs), and he will have money to spend every window.

He is in a position of power now, they absolutely would have had to give assurances on summer spend to get him in, he's just saved them several hundred million plus the potential brand damage, Lange if he stays will have far less authority, and our owners must know (yes, I'm aware of who they are) this summer of all summers, they need to put their hands in their pockets (17th twice in a row is not a fluke).

RDZ will have a lot of say on who we buy/sell.
