    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    Who it affected the most (just European qualifications), interesting, it's us for CL mostly, followed by Everton (for EL spots)

    Luca Williams-Barnett

    Think him being the only Academy player in photo is a message to him. I'd include him, but we also have to protect him, it would be better to have him make an impact in a side doing well, than expect him to save a side doing badly

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    They shouldn't have, and there will probably be some push back once City's fate is more clear. That said, there is a difference in sheer scale of breaches, the fact that City has actively worked against FA, threatening, using country to country trade pressure and actively stating at points that...

    Levy's Plan

    It's way more complicated (as you hint at in last line) It's 3 trophies (2 cup finals and a 2nd place) instantly Quick AI check says between 2012 and 2024 if you removed City/Chelsea, we would have 5 more CL participations by league place alone. That's massive, real, immediate implications...

    Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

    It is as @Kandi1977 said, immeasurable damage. Think about it just from a Spurs perspective, if City and Chelsea were stripped of their titles, we would have 3 more trophies in last decade or so. That completely rewrites the story/success of that era for us. and that's just affecting where we...

    Conor Gallagher

    We are expecting to use Conor for what he's good at, i.e. off the ball work, pressing, and contributing with goals from midfield (something he has shown he can do for Palace/Chelsea). What we (me) don't want to see is us playing him as a #10 and expecting a Maddison type performance (it's won't...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    The 6th place is still the best place finish Brighton has ever achieved, despite being one of the most widely praised clubs for how well they are run (well after he left). I could be wrong, but it's also the highest any of the non top 6/Villa/Saudi Sportswashing Machine group have finished probably since...

    Pedro Porro

    I'd be tempted to play JPVH there, with Tosin central Still have JPVH passing without the lack of aerial coverage in the center. Problem is he would probably get cooked by quick wingers

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Let me start by saying, no stat will help us if we don't start winning games soon, and consistently. That said, xG (especially as being applied in our case) is deeply flawed. The example would be (think it was against Everton) the chance Fernandes had running into box/edge of box, where he took...

    Conor Gallagher

    I have no issue with us listening to the medical team, but you can't expect Fernandes/Maddison/Gallagher/Kudus/Marmoush to all play the same if in the #10 position. And that to me is the main mistake RDZ is making. When Maddison comes on for his 15 mins, the team looks lots better, and everyone...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Think this is very much cherry picking I believe he's actually directly responsible for 2 of Brighton's conceded goals (where he was just too slow in a 1:1 scenario, the risk about him as a player everyone knows). I like the kid, and wish him the best, but he's going to have to work very hard...

    Next Manager Thread (2026 Edition)

    I think it's Poch or Howe, Conte could be a bit of a nutter outlier I'd hope the club finally realizes when the time comes, we are our best with motivators (BMJ/Harry/Poch) not system/tacticians

    Conor Gallagher

    Needs to the team to at least adapt to his strengths a little. We can't expect him to be a creator, but we can leverage his attack the box instincts, try to milk that 5-8 goals out of him

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    For those looking for some light at end of tunnel .. post on reddit basically claims RDZ start at Brighton was exactly same (2 points in 5 league games). Next match was a win and kick on from there

    And this is where RDZ will not get a fair shake, this form is a continuation of something else

    Honestly if it came across (or was in anyway) patronising, I apologise, wasn't intention 2nd point, fair enough, it can be both.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Agree, the problem is it's way bigger than RDZ. If RDZ fails in any way, if we have to pull the trigger pre December, then I think the Lange/Vinai conversations come up again, at best there will likely be one (even if as a spacegoat) if not both, so your problem becomes manager +senior leaders...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    It's more introducing risk (of exactly what is happening). Clearly the club believes RDZ's long term team potential has an upside. For me, it's more a deep understanding that the club has been in a spiral for what is now a 3rd season, while skipping from 17th to 5th sounds great, a more subtle...
