What's he said about Greenwood?

De Zerbi is full of praise for the 24-year-old's on-field and off-field personality, telling reporters: “I never delve into the players' private lives. But what I can say is that he's a good person. He paid a heavy price for what happened. He arrived in the right environment and behaved well. He has a very reserved personality. It saddens me what happened to him because I know a very different person from the one portrayed in England.”

From just 5 months ago.

using terms like "what happened" and being saddened "by what happened to him" rather than what he did presents him (Greenwood) as the victim.
 
Out of the blue, Ben Davies is suddenly being touted as a possibility....
Bloody good shout ....if only he wasn't recovering from a broken ankle and the minor inconvenience that he hasn't actually competed his coaching badges!! <laugh>

On a serious note, I think he will make a really good coach in due course.
 
Id leave it to the players...they fail to adapt to several personalities and tactics ...so they can sort it themselves. Some think they know better than managers so let's have a look. They have 'leaders' in the group, let's see if they can lead.

There’s no set formula for a good manager. You see people with no experience do good job and bad with bags of experience do a bad job.

There is however a good or bad fit for clubs. Spurs keep getting this wrong.

Spurs need to pick a manager who’s a good fit for the club otherwise they’re going down which would be disastrous for the club.
 
It’s an unenviable task for anyone to come in for 7 games - 7 cup finals - and to try and organise and motivate a depleted squad which has clearly been performing massively below the level of its ability. Spurs squad is top 6-8 on paper at least.
Dyche has the track record, but I’m not sure how the type of players Spurs have would react to him. He relies more on getting the best out of more limited players through organisation and a rolling up the sleeves mentality. Spurs haven’t shown that grit all season.
I’d think these players either need to be made to feel star struck or afraid by their next manager - I’m not sure who’s available of that calibre for a short term gig.
