    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I'm just hoping our brittle players don't get injured in training....

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    As you would expect from a former Liverpool CEO, Christian Purslow is a very impressive guy. He's clearly also a crack-addict as he's sure that De Zerbi will keep us up....whereas most of us can't see another win all season....can the de Zerbi effect possibly be that transformative?????

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Wish we had made that bet instead of Tudor but it is what it is. I'm so annoyed, i cant make the Brighton game - there's going to be some atmosphere for that...could the "great escape" be possible?

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    i thought the Guardian article was pretty poor. Some good points but no detail to back up the overview. No mention of injuries, no mention of causes of decline, such as Levy working without a Director of Football and trying to do it all himself...no mention of the shocking refereeing decisions...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    If he can get a tune from our bunch of numpties...welcome to the madhouse, Sir Roberto, I bid you welcome..

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    If we appoint his guy I have only one concern, and it isn't ethical. It's can he get our group of players to WIN 3 games?

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Roman Polanksi and Armie Hammer people definitely avoid their back catalogues because of their crimes as examples. And listening to the operas of Wagner? To me, the arguement that you avoid the output of creative people because they were not saints is crazy. It is akin to condemning national...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Clearly some of you have strong opinions against de Zerbi, but far more relevant, was he a decent coach? Did he get Brighton to win games? All that matters is whether he can motivate this misfiring team, coach them to act as one, and in particular to DEFEND AS A UNIT??

    He chose to play Greenwood - that's enough for me If Greenwood had not been convicted of a crime, and he improved the team, surely that was the RIGHT thing to do? Not playing someone who has been accused of a crime is hardly fair. You are innocent until proven guilty.

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Well..at least we know now that it WILL be a new manager. My money is on Dyche or Southgate...be happy with either but Southgate would shade it as he will have more authority....

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    First off I hate these "moral guardians" who adopt woke positions towards managers. If saving us from relegation meant the temporary hiring of a chauvinist, or indeed a dubious character of any sort I'd take it in a heartbeat. If it was about being a "decent man", TF would still be here. Second...

    Would relegation be that bad?

    Our wages to turnover ratio being sensible is another thing we should always have been thanking Levy for.. On the contrary, if DL had been less tight, we would have signed better players and not been in this mess...

    On a side note, it wasn't very fair on Conte I thought that after his explosive rant (after an away draw) he just jetted off to Italy and effectively sacked himself?

    Would relegation be that bad?

    What Finney has done is really interesting, albeit scary. Spurs' accountant would have work to do with P45s to get our salary costs under control. Maybe mothball the training ground hotel when England or other clubs don't use it, fire half the ground staff, etc etc - go right back to...
