[Bob!]

Has he signed yet, not clear from this thread?

Yes

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Woohoo!

For maybe the 3rd time? I am gonna miss this thread!

No press conference until July 2nd.
Players return later that week I think.
Does say he will start work “immediately” - when the work permit comes through.
I guess he’s still in Miami on his holiday.

Thank fcuk for that


His name is fabulous Fabi
He’s got umlauts in his name,
With 3 at the back and our wingers in attack

Guess we won't hear anything from him until the 2nd July then!

 

[AlbionBro]

What did your Birthday message from the Queen say ?

Still awaiting, hopefully the king will send it.
I have to say this appointment has been the most underwhelming one since...Jeff wood. Hope I am wrong.

 

[Home and Away]

Whoomp there it is!

 

[Jeremiah]

Player Manager ? Brings himself on to take the free kicks and corners , so I've heard .

UTA

 

[Papak]

Didn't take long

 

[Javeaseagull]

Wow! Didn't see that coming

Thought I would throw this one into the mix for fun and guess the next manager lark (apologies if he’s been mentioned before) - Sounds right up our street. A young and talented coach doing great stuff with St Pauli in the 2.Bundesliga - playing attractive football and winning matches on limited budget and losing key players to the Bundesliga. Playing out from the back, ‘De Zerbian progression’, controlling the tempo to invite the press in a possession based system that uses a ball playing GK and a left-sided progresser and a CB that ‘puts his sole on the ball’. The 3rd Key defender is used out of possession as a CB, in possession as a DM and using the two wingbacks/fullbacks to stretch the oppos defence. In attack, an inverted left winger with a talented striker. All sounds familiar?

Difference is, St Pauli are scoring goals.

EDIT - Following media releasing news that Brighton is interested - Poll added 6th June.

Chapeau

We're a project? Interesting....

FINALLY.

Pleased but apprehensive about this appointment. Hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst.

Would totally take 15th place with steady signs of improvement throughout the 24/25 season.

Hope he's the real deal. Fans will need to be patient, and he has very limited experience and will be learning a lot as manager at this club.

It’s a risk, but an exciting one! Welcome Fabian!
