The Manager Merry-go-Round

[chef]

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Strange. Leaves a mid table PL club for a mid French league club. How is this a step up in his career?

Was it his choice to leave Brighton?

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Ah..I thought he wanted to leave

He did when the big clubs were sniffing, and then he backtracked quickly when they retracted their interest.

But he didn’t do that bad a job at Brighton to warrant a sacking. Think Potter had worse seasons and survived. Thought it was a disagreement about spending that led to him leaving

I thought the second half of the season was pretty poor once his head got turned.

 

[Bostonian]

Was it his choice to leave Brighton?

It was a mutual decision.

 

[Bostonian]

The money we get for RDZ will pay for the new guy.

 

[SM]

It was a mutual decision.

It usually is these days.

What money?

 

[Bostonian]

What money?

"When he was employed by Brighton, he had a big release clause well in excess of £10million. As part of the agreement to terminate that contract, that release clause has been reduced. I understand it's a sliding scale, so Brighton will still get a few quid from this deal."

Brighton are set to pocket £5million as Roberto De Zerbi closes in on a move to Marseille, talkSPORT understands.

 

[Bostonian]

In this case it wasn't because we wanted him gone nor he to necessarily leave, more so we couldn't guarantee him what he wanted in regard to signings.

 

[Milanista28]

Let's see how Fonseca goes aye, seems to have developed well with Lille after his Roma stint.

How does that work when he's no longer employed by the club by mutual consent?

I'm guessing it's part of the deal for letting him get his contract terminated.

Wasn't there an article a while back saying United was RDZ's dream job?

Another "head coach" ... this is getting stupid. It's like the Premier League is turning into an American sport.

Head coaches have been a thing for at least 15 years, why are you just discovering it now?

Just seems to be becoming more popular.

 

[DBAH0]

Just seems to be becoming more popular.

Mainly because managers are getting worse in the transfer market.

 

[SM]

Not really. It's about the same it's always been. Pretty sure Graham Potter was head coach at Brighton 5 years ago.

We've had head coaches since Bloom took over.

That's all they do, coach. Not needed for any other roles at the club.
