This is all very underwhelming. How is De Zerbi an upgrade on Pochettino? 

Brighton were literally the 16th best (5th worst side) in the second half of this season.

Someone's having a laugh.

With the same fundamental flaws as we had under Poch.

 
We're being gaslit to believe the candidates apparently shortlisted for the job are better than Pochettino.

De Zerbi doesn't strike me as a yes man that will tolerate being pushed around by higher ups at the club.

I'd first sell crap like Disasi, Badiashile, Mudryk, Sanchez, Cucurella and probably Sterling too.

Agreed, except I actually think that Cucurella has turned the corner and will prove to be an asset for the next coach.

 
I can't believe I am saying this after 53 years of supporting Chelsea, Home, Away, In Europe and through thick and a helluva lot of thin, BUT I really couldn't give a f**k anymore. The change of Owners to the current Clowns, the appointment of two Sporting directors who have a lot less footballing nouse than most of us on here and the absolute spunking of over £1 billion on some very very mediocre (poor even) players, has now made we seriously consider not spending more money following and supporting the Club. But, before I get dog's abuse for this, I will ALWAYS be a Chelsea fan, but may choose to go and watch Leatherhead in non-league football in preference to paying up to £200 for a day out at the Bridge to continue to witness the collapse of our once wonderful Club.

 


1.     Chelsea – the current Chelsea team is a great team to manage for any manager interested in attacking football.

2.     The current Chelsea team is the youngest team in top tier euro football

3.     We have some of the most gifted young players around – some of them might even be generational talent

4.     We have some players on loan that other clubs would love to have and we have a south American pipeline -  next summer bringing in two exceptional attacking talents

5.     We have a great academy

6.     Managing Chelsea is an awesome opportunity for any coach – I am sure Pep or any body else would rather be living in London than fooking Manchester or Liverpool etc

7.     Coaching Chelsea is a great job – Even under our current owners

8.     At this point in time – managing Chelsea could be the best job in European football – a lot of the groundwork has been done

AND we are told the candidates are two blokes from newly promoted championship sides and a chewing gum addict and some bloke he fell out with his boss while managing South London on Sea.
3 candidates and a mystery candidate


Thomas Frank? Why – plays counter attacking and direct football – and may be a great ‘motivator’ while being addicted to his chewing gum. . but why? He is not a good fit.

Ruben Amorim – sometimes he is one of the 3 candidates and sometimes it is Thomas Frank – depending on which rag you read.

Kieran McKenna and Enzo Maresca   -- then there are the two new kids on the block – who seem okay – but inexperienced . . .i would prefer McKenna but it seems like he would prefer Man United apparently -  either one would be a huge gamble. But why not gamble I guess.

the mystery candidate is De Zerbi? A mediocre possession based manager who .  .. why? Not really a mystery and not really very surprising. . .a manager who is a step down from Poch in all honesty – a step sideways at best - What is the point of this De Zerbi bloke? Is he worth paying Brighton 12 million quid for?  He’s not is he. His appointment has disaster written all over it. A disaster waiting to happen.

I’m an international fan, but I feel the same way. 
I’m not exactly sure why, but RDZ feels like the final nail in the coffin for me

 
Robbie Fowler: "I was sat next to Blues' legend Frank Lampard at the League Managers’ Association awards dinner on Tuesday night – and when the news broke that Poch had been sacked a look of utter disbelief spread across his face. Frank wasn’t the only one in the room who was shocked."
