[Albion] Chelsea have a genuine interest in Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi

[raymondo]

Hyppia surely?

Archie Macaulay...he started it all

 

[5Ways Gull]

Archie Macaulay...he started it all

You must be the same ages as me. I nearly said that!

 

[Stat Brother]

I remember the good ol' days when we'd be raffling the opportunity to be the driver.


The games gone.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Stoke have got really brave interesting tactics tonight.

 

[herecomesaregular]

Russell Slade laid the foundations.

Yeah but how many bodies are buried in the foundations?

 

[saafend_seagull]

That source is literally the worst one. Ignore. They won’t get a manager whose achieved zero, it will be a zidane type next.

 

[BadFish]

I dispute the word 'genuine'.

 

[AlexBH]

£30M comp and they can have him. £20M Chelsea tax

 

[The Optimist]

Why on earth would they want someone with a successful track record of working with young players when they've just spent 600 million buying "over-ready" stars?

Hasn’t a lot of the £600m gone on young players?

 

[Sheebo]

Especially YOU.


And SHEEBO.



Errr...

??

 

[Sheebo]

Bozza looking to make up that season ticket rise asap with these threads

 

[raymondo]

You must be the same ages as me. I nearly said that!

Nah...my great grandad told me all about Archie

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Hyppia surely?

Hyypiä was ahead of his time.

He loved a CB bombing forward and CM dropping back to cover. We definitely tried to knock the ball about and draw in the opposition to play a direct ball to the forwards with him.

Unfortunately, Gary Gardner, Aaron Hughes and Adrian Colunga were not Moises Caceido, Adam Webster and Kaoru Mitoma.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Nonsense. IF Chelsea do get rid of Potter, RDZ will be nowhere near top of their list. They will be all over an established name Zidane type, not another up and coming philosophy coach.

Absolutely this. They’ll get a prestige “name” and someone like Zidane (on ridiculous money) might placate the fan base. We may lose RDZ in due course - but it won’t be to Chelsea.

I'd say Hughton laid the foundations

Bollocks, he got us to the PL but that's where the similarity ends. All he did in the PL was pour the foundations for the bus to sit on in front of the goal.

 

[Invicta]

Chelsea fans would go ape if they came near us again !!

 

[jcdenton08]

Leave our Chris alone, you know what he’s like. He’s mental. He’ll probably petrol bomb your house for that outrageous statement.

 

[Weststander]

Bollocks, he got us to the PL but that's where the similarity ends. All he did in the PL was pour the foundations for the bus to sit on in front of the goal.

Stop complaining, he gave us 9-0-1 with Muzza or Hemed the isolated 1.

Kept us up, by our fingernails.

 

[WhingForPresident]

If he goes, he goes- I have faith in Bloom, Barbs and the other decision-makers that they've already got a replacement lined up for that eventuality tbh.

I don't get the impression that RDZ is going to be a long-term appointment for us. Much as I enjoy his unfiltered passion and desire, I think he is as 'irreplaceable' as Potter turned out to be.

Don't get me wrong, I really like him and think he has done a brilliant job so far, especially considering the circumstances, but the club is so much bigger than one guy.
