Guy on this Pod was Cheif Exec at Liverpool, Villa & West Ham. He says 5 year deal is as much to protect Spurs if another club wants to take RDZ from us and that there will be clauses if we under perform where we can get out without paying the full contract off.

Sounds very likely. I’d be surprised if an employee contract of this importance had a simple term-limit without performance-related stipulations.

As you would expect from a former Liverpool CEO, Christian Purslow is a very impressive guy. He's clearly also a crack-addict as he's sure that De Zerbi will keep us up....whereas most of us can't see another win all season....can the de Zerbi effect possibly be that transformative?????

Thoughts are with Tim Sherwood at this difficult time.

Something really sinister about the crooked hand on the knee

It’s like the top half of his body is going to rotate 360 degrees independently of the lower half or something!

Haha it really does. Surprisingly zesty.

He genuinely seems happy to be here which is good. Tbh I’m pleased to have someone with a bit/lot of personality.

Separated at birth?

The training ground video is encouraging. On the other hand, I can't really believe he's going to be able say anything to them that Conte wasn't capable of saying, or Mourinho. Then again, we weren't on the brink of relegation back then, either. Maybe a dose of tough love is what they need.

Nope, anyone that hears that audio and dares say it doesn't sit right with them is apparently part of the moral high ground world championships.

That really isn't what most people are saying.
Frankly, anyone that hears that audio and doesn't want to remove the female from the situation and smack him in the mouth has morals that I don't like - and I wouldn't want to socialise with them (but guess what, if they worked where I do, I still have to converse with them).

How do you feel when you watch replays of Gazza smashing that free kick into the top corner past Seaman at Wembley?
This is a genuine question; it's a fascinating situation.

I'll develop the conversation after your answer with Lost Prophets and Tom Meighan - really challenges morals at that point!

Not too shabby.

He was at Brighton when they brought those players and presumably agreed to them coming in but what involvement he had in identifying them is unknown.

Not good enough technically for me, and more importantly RDZ.

It really puzzles me why so many posters rate him solely on his pressing ability. Aren't we wanting more than this from a midfielder? I just don't think his ceiling is much higher than the level he has performed at while he has been here.

Happy to be proved wrong though.

Did I say I rate him? Which part of "I think Sarr might be ok" says I rate him?
I'm puzzled as to why people think "ok" means he must be good.

Played out the rest of the season as DeZerbi on FIFA career mode which lets you do a live start point.

Sunderland A 0-1 W (Richarlison)
Brighton H 2-2 D (Romero, Solanke)
Wolves A 0-2 W (Richarlison, Kudus)
Villa A 1-1 (van de Ven)
Leeds H 2-1 W (Solanke, Kudus)
Chelsea A 1-2 W (Bergvall, Kudus)
Everton H 0-2 L

Sunderland was an 87th minute winner, Brighton was 2-0 down and came back to draw. Chelsea we were 1-0 down and secured survival with the win. Leeds went down losing to West Ham final game. Goons won the league.

You need to go into Doctor Strange mode and find the one way that we stay up and Arsenal win nothing

I did say "so many posters" referring to other posts and conversations I've seen and had with other fans. Wasn't specifically referencing your comment.
