    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I always pictured him as having a Santa hat :fearscream:

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I'd be more confident if he'd been appointed much earlier. What the Tudor experiment showed, in my opinion, is that the players are criminally unfit (something you can only seriously address in preseason) and they're not particularly... flexible? tactically-aware? Tudor's system might be a tad...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I would guess that part of the communication about the contract length and the extraordinary commitment to De Zerbi is also a way for the board to drill the point to the players that they can't afford to let De Zerbi down. If some of them downed tools on Frank, I'm not sure appointing an...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Take it for what it's worth (a conversation on an internet forum) but I used to think your views on 'race' issue were a tad radical. Not wrong, just radical. Nothing to do with Greenwood either, but what I've seen over the past couple of weeks has changed my mind. I don't want to go into too...

    Emirates Marketing Project and Chelsea and their common point is, they're cheaters. What did I win?

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I'd give a job as a PR manager at the club but on a slightly less enthusiastic note, De Zerbi doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who makes public apologies (or private ones, for that matter)... That said, he could definitely make a donation, considering the amount of money he squeezed out of...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I don't think he'll enjoy working with Vicario either. Another worry would be that, much like Tudor's, his system relies (from the little I've seen) on players moving out of position to exploit the space and create overloads and others covering. I kind of remember his teams to be pressing quite...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I don't think anyone's been impressed with the way the club's run this season. But I also think everybody's way past the point of talking about a Top 6 or long-term strategic planning. We've been circling down the drain for quite some time now. If we stay up, we can always hope for a better (or...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I don't know why people are so upset about the contract length. Nobody thinks he'll be there in 2031 - it's all about the next seven games. If he keeps us up and, as a bonus, gets us to a respectable mid-table position when he (inevitably) implodes, it will be money well-spent. If he doesn't, he...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    There were rumours that they were willing to break the wage structure to make us more competitive - if we survive this horrible season. The contract length is meaningless - it just means more money for him when he does get the sack. Whatever we pay him, it will be less than the money we're...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    I've been thinking about this a lot for various reasons, one of them being a friend of mine who's a professional politician flirted with the idea of joining/making a deal with a far-right party. When the idea was up in the air, I wondered what I'd do if he pulled the trigger. If people went up...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Since this is no longer about football, I'm taking this opportunity to ask a question that genuinely intrigues me: if you don't want De Zerbi at the club for moral reasons - which is fair enough - do you apply the same standards to writers and musicians, for instance? I should add that I have...

    Igor the Departed

    For that to happen, though, you need to stick with the manager through the tough times. If you changer managers every 18-month or so, nobody will ever bring us an inch closer to having a clear identity on the pitch. As luck would have it, the only time the board actually back the manager... I...

    Igor the Departed

    Didn't Slot and/or Ten Hag have an interview with us? Not sure I agree with @Mikey10's statement though. The manager can be a problem, but there are plenty of quality managers out there who'd be happy to join us IF we had a clear direction as a club. We offer a lot of money which in itself is...
