I'm no Enic supporter but I'm not a fan of the petulance that DeZerbi has already shown this season. He has had four yellows and two red cards. What was his problem with Stellini before the Brighton game? Just imagine him when things don't go well on the pitch or some players stop performing, or if he doesn't get the players he wants. He can't keep his emotions in check.

Well he wouldn't get the players he wants, but he emotion hasn't done bad getting Brighton above us.
A good team well coached and run, polar opposite of our club, which we know why.

De Zerbi took over a Brighton team that were 4th, a couple of points behind leaders Arse at the time. It was a team confident and in form, plus a club stable and well run behind the scenes. Unfortunately we are none of these.

I was very impressed that when Trossard developed an attitude that went against what they were trying to accomplish they sat him and then transferred him out, despite his obvious talent. And he hasn't been missed because Brighton is a cohesive team and not a collection of parts that don't fit together (which is what Spurs have become). That's the approach Spurs need.

That's more about the way that club is run which is exceptional compared to the shitshow Enic have created here. DeZerbi will not work well with Levy and Levy isn't going anywhere. We don't need snother Conte situation
 
ElTel said:
DeZerbi will be confrontational just like Conte was. As we've just witnessed, it doesn't end well. We need a different approach, more holistic like Poch.

Nothing wrong with that of directed in the right way. I don’t think de zirbi is confrontational with the owners. His more with the opposition and shows some passion and determination. His also not scared to bin players. This is exactly what we need. Just watching Brighton and transition the ball really well. Fir me it we are not going for poch and JN it has to be DZ. his fine his apprenticeships give him a bigger club. His the standout of what’s left. He’d also stand up for the team and players unlike cunte.
 
At this point only Slot and Gallardo would be the options I could really get behind. Don’t care if they’re high risk, it’s not like we’ve got much to lose anyway, we’re already a shambles. We need a manager who has dignity, doesn’t jump around like a clown when things don’t go their way and really wants to be at the club. I don’t know if Gallardo speaks English so that might be a problem for him.

Maybe Xabi Alonso aswell. Rodgers, although he could be a decent temporary choice on paper, I don’t quite like him.

Not disagreeing but the original point of comparing playing careers is a disingenuous one.
The idea that great players make the best coaches is patently false. If anything, the problem with Hoddle, supposedly, was that he assumed all players could be Hoddlesque in talent and treated them as such.

I agree that there's no guarantee of coaching success just because said coach was a good/great player.
But there's very few top level coaches through history that didn't have much of a playing career.
 
Take it all back.

Bring Zerbi

The way Brighton play albeit established by potter de zirbi has taken it further and also has an attitude which is basically saying he don’t take any shit from his own players, refs, opposition , etc. just what we need for a clear out.
