Of course he’s allowed an opinion. I was questioning why a public figure has decided to chip in with quite a controversial quote for no apparent reason.
There now seems to be a question whether it’s a fake account, despite being verified.
Brighton have confirmed it on their Instagram page with the following message: "Roberto and the club are aware of the fake verified Instagram account @robtzerbi. This account is NOT run by Roberto or his representatives, and has absolutely no association with him.
So I apologise for posting it in the first place, but did so because it felt unnecessary and bizarre.
