Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

It was a truly dreadful episode. I didn’t make it to the end. It’s rapidly spiralling towards being unlistenable since Danny Kelly had to step back for his treatment (hope that is going well for him. Get well soon, Danny!).

Dan Kilpatrick is like a good vibe black hole; no idea why he is on the show.

I suppose every guest panel needs a clown

i think the best sporting events - across all sports - should be devoid of any political agenda.

sure cheating to win has to be frowned upon - because that's fundamental to competition.

as greenwood has not been convicted, I have not born any ill will towards him. i won't want him to come near me or my family but I appreciate him for the sportsperson he is. likewise de zerbi, i see no fault in his comments - just that plenty in the UK like to hold that moral high ground position.

there are other things that sports need to sort out to level the playing field - perfomance enhancing drugs, corruption and gender equality issues and that's enough for the organizers who are often non-profit (and because of that in the best position to sort those issues out).

but i would like to see sports be a place where humans can come together to jump higher, run faster etc,. even better if ex-convicts can use it to rebuild their lives and integrate back into society. pedophiles even - let them compete but have other means to tackle their evil e.g. lists ... or the crowd etc.

back to de zerbi - glad he is here. glad to see he is unapologetic about his stance around greenwood. its a nothing burger that UK fans are making a big deal about. but it shows the character that he is and he will be firm about bringing his identity to the team and hopefully to management who are appearing more clueless by the day (lange just admitted failure to get de zerbi after ange).

100% for de zerbi and hope he gets teh DoF and CEO he needs (goodbye to Lange first) to keep him going.

Why? Why would you not want him near you or your family if you bear him no ill will because he wasn't convicted and you appreciate him for the sportsman he is? Why, after all that, would you not want him to be near you or your family?
As for DeZerbi, I wouldn't expect too much. He's bent the entire club over a barrel, is getting superbly overpaid, and I'm sure he'll take Lange's gruel (sadly). I think he'll keep us up; anything after that I wouldn't dare predict.

I hope it goes well of course...I really do...

Steff just let it go mate, you have voiced your opinion multiple times and respectfully it’s not going to do you any favours. Just a humble opinion.

I do appreciate the sentiment, and don't doubt you're right in some senses...but 'not going to do me any favours' in what regard? Genuine question. There are already (I'm sure) some people who have an image of me. That's their business. But yes, we will all have to move on for sure.

Of course it makes men more sensitive around all women's issues if they have a daughter. I have both & I am way more sensitive & protective of my daughter.

RDZ has apologised he hasn't committed a crime as far as I know. Is anyone who sticks up for Greenwood in anyway just scum.

what exactly did you want him to say or do to make you feel better about him being our manger.

99% of his comments were great and addressed it very well. I just hate the "I have a daughter" thing that's always wheeled out. Why is it so much to ask for empathy of fudging sexual assault victims without a daughter??
