Iraola is miles better than Frank lol
I think Iraola if he goes there, and can get them flowing would stand a better chance than Slot would have done. Better chance of competing with that lot, City, and United.
I also think it might be a matter of resources, and whether the Liverpool hierarchy think Iraola can get more out of less than what Slot might have wanted to bring into the club. All speculative of course.
Anything from Milan though?
Had missed that, ty
People are acting like Alonso was nailed on for the job but there is a realistic chance that Liverpool actually preferred Iraola. Especially as their Sporting Director has already worked with him.
Would also explain why Alonso took the Chelsea job, if he felt that even waiting for the Liverpool job didn't guarantee he would get it.
Ha. Love him. But you are forgetting we still gotAhem, you're forgetting that we've got RDZ now?!
ENIC. RDZ could do amazing next year & miss out on the title by a point. Rather than back him to get us over the line the following season. ENIC would do a summer of no signings & sell our best player.
It’s a shame as you know our ceiling under ENIC is top 4 & a cup.
Saw some dippers saying Liverpool weren't prepared to give Alonso a big say over transfer strategy, so they were never seriously in for him.
Yeah which is kind of ironic given pre-Alonso Chelsea were probably the club that gave their coaches the least say over transfer strategy in the entire league.
I presume they'll appoint Iraola now, and he might be a great appointment, but I still think they'll probably regret not appointing Alonso when he was right there.
I'm suddenly glad we got De Zerbi when we did.
Alonso previously turned them down. It’s not a given that he wants to go there. Dippers can’t get over the fact a manager might not want them.
Only the idiots at our club could chose Frank over him 12 months ago. Vinai & Lange should have been sacked for that choice alone
I’m not sure iraola can win them the league though, which is what they want.
He's done wonders with Bournemouth, not just them finishing where they have this season and the unbeaten run, but also the style. He's an excellent manager and levels above Slot.
Too much of a firebrand for Liverpool...... and us, albeit a calm start.
Klopp.is only made on the touchline.
Bet our matches v them next season are bangers.
The Slot arc reminds me a lot of the Ten Haag arc at United.
2 very hyped bald dutch blokes that really nearly came to Spurs, had good/great first seasons in the Premier League making me thinking 'ffs why didn't we appoint them' only for them to completely shit the bed and come across as bellends before getting sacked.
Ten Haag always gave me odd vibes but the way Slot completely fell off is quite surprising. Feel like nothing really worked for him this season and he got a lot wrong. Came across as very arrogant by the end - like he won the title and bought into his own hype?

lololololllololloll
Yeah it's a huge step up. Never managed a big club, never managed in Europe, wasn't a well known player outside of Spain.
I massively rate the job Iraola did at Bournemouth, but I don't think it's a given he'll make a seamless transition to a big club. At Bournemouth apparently he makes the players come in to train every single day. I'm not sure you'll get away with that kind of thing at a club like Liverpool. Plus he plays a very intense style and hasn't ever had to juggle regular midweek games.
I think he's a considerably bigger risk than Alonso would've been who was a club legend as a player, as well as won trophies and got to a major European final as a manager.
There is obviously much to be said for a full head of hair. Martin Jol might have lasted slightly longer. Less prominent hair loss.
Or it might just be a load of twaddle.
