Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

It can’t back test either. Rubbish. Chat GPT is basically Alex Crook from talk sport, gets info from the internet and then tries to recycle it as it’s new information.

Fair enough if you want a proper recipe and indulge in asking the right questions then it’s pretty good.

Chat GPT is a large language model so that is exactly what it does. It assesses the entirety of the internet and summarises the consensus view it has reached. If you ask it for an opinion on football in this situation its just found a tonne of articles about Dyche being brought in when a club is desperate and formed a consensus that this must be the correct course of action.

The horrendous human being who defended the character of Mason Greenwood WTF?

He supposed to come out and belittle one of his players? Did he not say that the Mason Greenwood he knows is not like that? Meaning he may have done that in the past but he hasn’t shown any type of attitude like that in a professional manner. He is talking about the footballer and the person he see’s everyday not the horrible little clam he was to his girlfriend.

He is here to judge players on performances on the football pitch not how they are off the pitch and even more so what they done before he signed him / knew him.

Where did he defend the character of Greenwood.

Secondly what was Greenwood prosecuted for, was he found guilty and how much prison time did he serve?

The case in short:

Key Details Regarding the Dropped Case:
  • Charges Dropped: In February 2023, all criminal charges were dropped by the CPS.
  • Reasons: The withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.
  • Investigation: Manchester United conducted their own investigation into the allegations.
  • Outcome: Following the investigation, it was decided that Greenwood had not committed the offenses for which he was initially charged in 2022.

Would there perhaps be some logic that Tudor put this squad through their paces and got them way fitter than Frank had them.

Now De Zerbi depends on those fitness levels to bed in his system and get results across 7 games.

I hope so. Unfortunately the decision makers have made so many bad decisions that it’s really difficult to trust in any of their analysis.

I think fitness is one thing, but if you have such a system whereby his previous players have acknowledged that he would have been annoyed that they didn’t follow it exactly even though they scored otherwise…I just hope we can get it firing well enough in these next two weeks.

The fact that charges were dropped did not mean he did not committ the offence. Did you actually listen to the audio recording of him raping (or should I say indecently assaulting) the now mother of his child?

When the main witness refuses to give evidence it does not mean the act was not committed

Simple question, would you be happy if Mason Greenwood signed for Spurs next season?
 
"Defend him like a son": When Marseille first moved to sign Greenwood in July 2024, De Zerbi stated that while he might "pull a player's ears" in private for mistakes, he would always "defend him like my son" in public.
"A good guy": In November 2025, De Zerbi described Greenwood as a "good guy" and a "good person," insisting that the version of Greenwood he knew was "totally different" from the one described in England following his 2022 arrest.
"Paid a heavy price": De Zerbi has repeatedly claimed that Greenwood "paid a heavy price" for his past, suggesting that the public and media backlash constituted a significant punishment.
"More human": By February 2026, De Zerbi remarked on Greenwood's personal growth, noting he was becoming "more human," smiling more, and was "less withdrawn" than when he first arrived in France.

People would no doubt forget about his off-field activities if he brought the glory days back to WHL, just like how Gazza got cheered to the rafters when he appeared for our “Legends” team at the test event for our new stadium despite his litany of crimes over the decades…

I cheer the team, but I don't support that looney De Zerbi! He's a toxic madman, and it will blow up within 10 months.
Hopefully sooner, so we can get Poch he has a new job.

I know lots of people that have done horrendous things in the past, but never done anything to me. So just because I haven't personally experienced their vile behavior, does that mean they are just good people? I know what they've done, regardless of my experience with them.
De Zerbis comments about Greenwood shows a total lack of empathy towards the victim(s), and there are ways of handling that situation that would both condemn what greenwood had done, show support for the victims and at the same time support Greenwood by giving him a second chance.
DeZerbi chose not to do that, and just outright support a known rapist, and that shows what kind of man he is.

Yup, the double standards of a fanbase who cheered Gascoigne to the rafters when he appeared for our “Legends” team at that test event for our new stadium despite him being guilty of decades of domestic abuse amongst his many other criminal convictions.

The fact we went for an interim in Tudor would strongly suggest that our preferred candidate is coming available in the summer. Unless that was de Zerbi, who was sacked just before Tudor was appointed and was available at that time, the idiots making these decisions have had to change longer term strategic direction to address a short term problem and are paying a massive premium to do it.

Beyond incompetent.

I think this is exactly the cse, and that De Zerbi has squeezed their lemons for a fatter pile of wonga than they wanted to fork over. Putting aside all opinions, speaking coldly, IF this was the guy they wanted, then they should've fudging squeezed their lemons for the guy before Tudor...they are just pathetic IMO.

Not me sunshine!
I don't need any excuses at all, he's provided several in his career. He's a wan ker, and now he looks set to be our wan ker. Because I support the club I'll have to accept that it is the case.
