[Albion] De Zerbi second favourite to become next Chelsea manager....

[B-right-on]

Chelsea are in such a mess that I can't see RDZ going there after the success he's had here. The potential points deduction, inability to get in different players, morale of the squad and a dickhead of an owner are all going to put him off

There's going to be much better offers for him to consider. I'm more worried about the Liverpool job tbh.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Wouldn't surprise me. I've been on Chelsea's Shed End forum and 95% of the blame is being laid at the feet of Pochettino, they think the players are decent and the fault is the manager. Example:

[Caicedo is] a very good player under a top manager. Same for Mudryk under De Zerbi and the same for Colwill under De Zerbi. Pattern emerging here.

This with cow bells on.

 

[The Mole]

They may have come to the conclusion that the last Brighton manager they employed didn’t do so badly after all.
I don’t think Sanchez would be having a long career there though!
on a more serious note, I think RDZ’s name will be connected with any major club now (although I don’t like to admit it Chelsea are a big club) - it’s a price of out success.

Roberto would sort them out and would relish the challenge. If they came calling you can bet your life he'd be interested

Quite the opposite. RDZ follows his heart when it comes to job opportunities, not is wallet.

Only a rotten, blackened and cold heart would aspire to manage Chelsea. That’s not the hot, passionate Ferrari-Red thumping heart of our wonderful De Zerbi.

Lol. I'm not so sure.

 

[sparkie]

It astounds me why anyone worries about a future which is no more than just one of many possibilities.

 

[A1X]

I would imagine he’s in the top three favourites for any of the top jobs on the betting markets.

A reminder the betting markets know f*** all about this.

 

[el punal]

I reckon he'd fall out with half of the squad within a fortnight. Albion have a 'no dickheads' policy. Chelsea seem to have the reverse.

Chelsea need a new striker - Andone it is then.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

RDZ could definitely sort the chavs out. No doubt. He also has balls big enough to do it. I dont think he would go for the salary, but the challenge could tempt him.

I hope not, of course, but I wouldn't bet against it.

 

[The Wizard]

Hear me out in this, RDZ is an incredible coach and if players are willing to work with him I really think he could coach any team in the world and be bloody good at it.

But I do think at times he can be quite naive tactically, this season away from home we’ve thrown the game away early in several games just by refusing to slightly alter our style, I can think of 3 just if the top of my head Villa, Chelsea, Luton where we’ve been very naive early in games away from home, makes me wonder if a club who will be ‘expected’ to win every week would take the gamble?

I suspect he will end up at one of the big Italian teams myself

 

[Commander]

I genuinely think RDZ is too smart to go to Chelsea, and realises he doesn't need to risk it. With Potter, I'm not sure when he was going to get another chance at a Big 6 job. I think he knew he had a window where his stock was high, and he took his chance, as I would have done. He's now financially set for life and with no major dent in his reputation. But RDZ can have his pick of big jobs across Europe over the next few years, and that was never going to be the case for Potter. It would be a big mistake for him to go to Chelsea, where as I don't think it was for Potter.

 

[Hiheidi]

At the fans forum, De Zerbi was asked if he'd ever want to manage Brescia (the team he supports) - and he said no, because I don't like the owner. Pretty sure that would be his response if Chelsea called.

He'll be interested, not saying he'd take it but he would listen if they came calling. Roberto is probably 1 of the best coaches Chelsea need to sort out the egos and dick heads!

 

[Hiheidi]

Hopefully if he's even slightly considering it, he has a watch of this to see what a fickle fan base he'd be encountering...

 

[Flounce]

RDZ would need a lobotomy to even consider going to Chelsea

 

[Bombardier]

When a top club in Italy who are not quite firing on all cylinders come knocking he will see the challenge and will depart. AC Milan anyone?

 

[Surf's Up]

I'm very sceptical about stories suggesting they can't afford to sack poch. They will find a way around it if they really want him out!

Indeed, I believe Poch has just received an email from the Yanks giving him their full support - so he'll be gone within the week!!

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

What are the odds on Potter making a comeback there? It looks like he was better than Poch at least!
