Almost certainly. I've a feeling he'll be here for the season, in fact, and we'll probably finish around 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we swoop in before we lose out on yet another gem? That's one appointment you can absolutely guarantee won't be happening.

Do a better job - yes Do the job we all want him do - nope Not for me, he will make us better but we won't be a top half European challenging team under Rodgers, he'll just get us soundly to the mid table bare minimum position that Gerrard is struggling with (hence better) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in a worse spot than us when he joined us. But I agree, we shouldn't fall into the trap of "better than Gerrard" because that's a very wide spectrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbluesky Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Brighton have appointed former Sassuolo and Shaktar Donetsk manager Roberto de Zerbi. Know nothing of him but seems like quite an interesting and exciting appointment.

Davkaus Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 With the stick Gerrard gets for moderate success in a two horse race, some moderate success in a single season in Ukraine is hardly inspiring. He took Sassoulo from 11th to 8th in two seasons, I don't think we've missed out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do agree with the OP that's he's interesting and exciting, and we're not going to risk it, but in this case, I don't think I'd want us to risk it either. I would love to see us risk going all out to recruit Poch, but I don't believe that would happen in a million years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put this appointment on par with us appointing Gerrard to be honest. It was an interesting appointment at the time. Just way too much of a gamble for our club. I think Brighton can afford to take that gamble. Their manager left against their will, they didn't sack him to move onto bigger and better things. Their expectations are also understandably lower. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
