Brighton are an absolute joy to watch. They were doing well under Potter but De Zerbi has moved them on to another level.

They looked over coached under Potter, they always passed when they should have shot. I remember him getting the hump with Brighton fans because they kept shouting shoot.
Looks like they were right. They’re so free flowing going forward under De Zerbis

They actually play like Man City. It's quite incredible.

De Zerbi will have a "Big 6" club after his signature in the next year, won't he?

Brighton twice as many shots as City, how often does that happen.
It’s actually a really strong City team as well.

If I were him, I'd take heed from a previous Brighton manager's move to a top 6 club.
De Zerbi will have a Europa League campaign to look forward to, so he could achieve something incredible with Brighton and go down as a legend forever there whilst gaining more plaudits across Europe. Similar to Alex Ferguson at Aberdeen before he got his really big job.

Ferguson reminds me of a young Alan Shearer. Brighton fans must be in heaven right now.

Only one man for the job:
Let me get this right:
Brighton get a point at home against Man City, who are basically no longer interested in the Premier League this season, having won it, and it's headline news/bbc wankfest etc.
We get a point at home against Man City who were. at the time, desperately trying to claw back the gap to Arsenal who were ahead in the league, and it barely gets any coverage.
Hmm.

I think Brighton will struggle next season, they've already ended the season inconsistent, losing 5-1 to Everton, 3-1 to us and 4-1 to Newcastle.
They'll probably lose some of their players to bigger clubs and they will have a small squad having to contend with Europe and the league.
Eventually some of their unknown player signings that fetch them mega cash will start to flop and that'll be that.

We all like to laugh at Spurs but this seems like a really stupid decision from that manager.Slot turns down Spurs.

It's a great opportunity, I doubt many even heard of him before this week.
If his reasoning is football ones for turning them down that's bizarre.

Bob McKinlay
Depends what you class as struggling.
I think they'll be okay, they look so well coached at the minute I reckon you could put Harry Arter in their team and he would look okay.
That's the thing with Brighton & Brentford - I don't think it's their recruitment that is incredible, I just think it's the environment they make for players and allows them to slot into a system with ease. You look at players that have moved elsewhere from those clubs and they never stand out like they do at Brighton.

I'd disagree, while Spurs is a great opportunity for someone to succeed, it's also a great opportunity to ruin a reputation which currently stands on one good season in Holland. There's uncertainty over whether the best player will be there next season, there's a squad which has been put together by a load of different managers, and there's a hugely demanding fan base. See Nuno Espirito Santo for what they are capable of. Arne Slot is better off finding himself a German club (or similar stature) where he can enhance his reputation before moving onto a much bigger club.

Bob McKinlay
I just think the Premier League is the end game for managers, especially the top clubs. You mention going to Germany and then to move onto a bigger club, Spurs are a figure of fun but there is nothing between them financially and everybody else now.
I just don't understand what his ambitions would be if he is turning that down? Is he expecting City to come knocking on his door whilst he's managing in the Dutch league, or even Germany.
He turned down Leeds a few months ago - that I can understand. I don't get this one though. He could shape Spurs into whatever they want without immediate expectation because of their terrible season this year.

If I thought Spurs would allow him to do that, then I would agree he is a fool for turning them down. But I think they have inflated expectations, just as Chelsea did with Potter, granted he's got a fat payoff, but where does he go next?

It's a bit of a poison chalice really. The fact that high profile managers such as Mourinho and Conte couldn't get a tune out of them, and the fact that they will almost certainly be without Harry Kane next year, makes it not as appealing a job as it may first appear.
I think any manager whose career is on the up at the moment would probably be best advised to give the Spurs job a swerve at this moment in time.

Think even he'd give the Spurs job a miss at the moment!

It's pretty eye-opening that young managers like Slot are turning down the Spurs job.
