Who are 'Man United', in that context? The fans would love him, I'm sure. But the likes of Brailsford and Ratcliffe? They'll (rightly, tbh) want a manager to buy into THEIR global vision for the rebuild of the club - not a hothead who will want things bent to HIS will.
Very true, a high maintenance, outspoken and volatile manager is not what they’ll want imo

Didn’t listen at the job interview or do any research on the Albion then, more fool him.
This in spades. All this "De Zerbi doesn't know if his ambitions will be matched" is complete tosh. Nothing that has happened since he arrived is a surprise to anyone who's listened to Tony or PBOBE, even Caicedo and Mac Allister leaving in the same window. We ALL knew they were going from January last year.

They spent £30m on Pedro, £25m on Baleba, £17m on Igor, £18m on Verbruggen and, let's not forget, Fati and Dahoud were both his signings. The only thing "not in the plan" this season is the injuries. That's it.

Very accurate with Liverpool news.
I went and had a look at their forum to see what is happening and that account is actually banned as a source for spreading BS

This has Twitter ITK bollocks all over it.

Take one big club with a manager who may / may not be leaving in the summer, sprinkle in an apparently in-demand manager who also may / may not be off in the summer, bake for 20 minutes in the furnace of shite that is Twitter and hey-presto you've got an ITK story.

Easy money.

We cannot match his ambitions he has only been honest from day 1. He probably did not expect all his best players would be sold over 18 months. Good luck to him. He will win trophies
Gotta be honest myself, because I don't remember him saying "I'm happy to SING for Brighton and Hove Albion as coach, even though they can't match my ambitions" in that original press conference.

Oh Christ, here we go yet again. Just read one of the 50 previous threads.
Well, there's ages until the next (season-defining) game, so people have to talk about SOMETHING between now and then!

yes, Ratcliffe doesn't strike me as a quick fix type, he wants long term consistency and follow a strategic plan. which DeZerbi might be up for, he seems to burn a bit brightly.

Can't be that surprised when he spent the last half of last season telling everyone how great Alexis and Moises were and that they deserved to play for big clubs either.
