Liverpool FC

if they were going to do it so soon might have well done it last week and least let him have a sendoff he deserved that for winning the title at least

I've seen that Slot only found out himself this morning.

They made the right decision. If Iraola does get the job he'll have a hell of a job Infront of him. They've lost so much talent over the past few seasons and replacing the likes of Salah, firmino, mane, Diaz etc won't be easy. I think he like the high pressure 433 similar to Klopps style so as long as the football is exciting he might have a chance.

I thought Isak, Ekitike and Wirtz replaced those players?

If not, who did they replace, bearing in mind they cost a combined £320m and were the top 3 most expensive Liverpool signings ever?

^ Hmm, thought some one might be pedantic. When I say replace and the names I mentioned I'm talking about legends, players that have proven themselves and gone beyond just a body in a position. Replacing like for like is difficult for any club and getting the next Salah for example is not a given.

I gather you're not impressed with the players signed last summer then? Despite the immense amount of cash worked out?

Excited if it's Iraola

He's a really good coach and his Bournemouth team were an enjoyable watch, always wanted them to do well. It will be interesting to see if his style can be mapped onto a "big" team or if he will fall foul to the same issues as Frank, plus the managing of big egos.

Hopefully it goes well for him.

If he gets the job it means Liverpool, Arsenal & Chelsea will be managed by managers who played together at youth club Antiguoko in San Sebastien. Added to that Unai Emery is also from The Basque region, Guardiola is Spanish & 4/6 clubs in European finals were managed by Spanish managers
