'Another big mistake' or 'best available option'? Fans on De Zerbi
Dave: De Zerbi was the best available option to Spurs. Max: Putting aside for one second his support for Mason Greenwood, De Zerbi was a bad option before he went to Marseille, and an even worse option than Frank.
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on the appointment of Roberto de Zerbi as Tottenham boss on a five-year contract. Here are some of your comments: Mark : We're desperate. It's a gamble based on his starts at previous clubs, but it's last-chance saloon.
I can't suggest a better option given the circumstances as to who's available right now. Tom : It's one blunder after another. I didn't think Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor were good fits, and now we have De Zerbi, who has no connection with the club, never had to avoid the drop, will hate our recruitment strategy and already has negative press coverage.
It's mild insanity. I guess I still hope it'll work out... PrestonSpur : A really disappointing appointment.
That firecracker personality is the last thing a club in turmoil needs. Stability, consistency and a club-first mentality were top of the requirements. A talented firebrand is the wrong manager type for this club right now.
