    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I think these problems would arise further down the line - Let's just try and get over the line for the next 7 games and then we can look forward to the next managerial merry go round :) .....

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    It seemed like when Frank went they wanted de Zebri permanently but he wasn't keen to take it until the summer unless seriously persuaded (ie money). So then they went down the interim route thinking could get away with it and then come back in the summer for de Zebri or another top candidate...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    That's fair enough, especially regarding decisions and as I mentioned elsewhere he was missing his right hand man due to work permit issues which was a big loss. But, he was bought in for immediate impact and 5 games is a fair amount of games to judge that - We are in a results business at this...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    I just heard Kevin Nolan on a podcast mention that Tudors' main right hand man that has been with him at the other clubs he succeeded in keeping up couldn't join him here due to not getting a work permit. Shades of Nuno who also couldn't bring his staff here with him. All the best to him and...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Thanks, my memory is playing tricks on me - it was definitely a de Zerbi team I saw, I thought it was us playing them and that was why I was watching but obviously not. Played very good football though, that I do remember....

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I remember when we played Marseille and they played very good football. Obviously question marks over time to implement his style, but with players returning from injury there is at least a chance he could make us watchable again. I can't see a better realistic alternative (sorry Ben Davies)....

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    They went for an interim after de Zerbi didn't want the job full time or otherwise. And crucially because all the good managers are available in the summer, and no one decent wants to come us in our current plight if at all - it's not because of specifically Poch. Theres been plenty of...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I'd like Poch back myself, it's the current decision makers that don't appear particularly interested in making that happen. Like @billyiddo said, it's probably for the best with this current lot in charge as he'll be left hung out to dry....

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Before Tudor came we wanted de Zebri and a lot of talk was we wanted it permanent. But specifically to Poch, there appears to be little appetite for his appointment from the powers that be. And an interim always made sense considering all the best managerial candidates wouldn't be available...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Considering you yourself were talking yourself into Ben Davies being a decent appointment, that is exactly how he is the standout candidate - how Vinai chooses to dress it up is up to him, but he's the best we could realistically get. As for 5 year contracts, every man and his dog knows they...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    That's cool mate and good for you - I'm not here to try and change anyone's beliefs. But the reality is football is it's own special bubble - He's been at two clubs now, the Getafe manager defended the decision to sign Greenwood - How many players and staff have left these clubs in outrage of...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    The debate should be sitting with owners rightly or wrongly bringing in a player to a club with question marks around his character. It is not the manager's job to take the moral high ground regarding selecting a player whose bosses have chosen to spend money bring into the squad, especially one...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    The only thing that really matters is if he can be the solution for the next 7 games. Us ripping up a long term contract and carrying on the managerial merry go round is nothing new, it would be a cheap thing to go through if he keeps us up. From a current player personnel thing I can actaully...
