Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Darren Hart, Ian Lubin and Billie T as the panel react to the news that Tottenham have confirmed the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach, with the Italian reported to have become the third-highest paid manager in the Premier League behind Arsenal's Mikel Arteta and Manchester City's Pep Guardiola on a five-year contract.

We discuss the suggestions that De Zerbi was overwhelmingly the club’s number one choice for the position, and the attraction to the Italian was based on his prior Premier League experience, his tactical acumen and the his reputation for playing attacking football. We also give our feeling to the news that De Zerbi does not have a relegation clause in his Tottenham contract and is understood to be fully committed to rebuilding Tottenham and views the position as long term project regardless of which division they are playing in.

We also address the divide the appointment has caused across the fan-base, due to De Zerbi's backing of Mason Greenwood at Marseille, and furthermore with the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust having confirmed they oppose his appointment following member complaints, with certain fans threatening to boycott fixtures. Finally we close on whether having made the appointment now if this changes our mood in being able to retain our Premier League status.
