Arne Slot | ex-Liverpool manager | The Bald sack watch is over

Misses the point of my original post though. The guy who won trophies with a small club and then announced he was leaving in hopes of a big job got passed over for a guy who has more hipster points. For what it’s worth I would take Iraola over Glasner too given the choice but it is still kind of funny and I would love to know what Glasner is thinking right now.

Why?
 
So their board actually has some sense, unlike us with Ten Hag and Amorim.
This had them hall marks. They knew the season was dead but he could still get CL. They gave him the season. Unfortunately being a coach nowadays is about trust of the players. This was gone, there’s no point carrying on. A good move by the board. They need some kudos from the fans after all the players they’ve let leave for free.
 
I think Glasner did fine with what he had and is clearly an excellent manager but he set his teams up to defend and relied on individual brilliance from the likes of Eze. Iraola actually opted to go on the front foot against top 6 sides and was able to get results with attacking play. I wouldn’t say either gives a greater guarantee of success at a top side but I would certainly rather watch an Iraola coached team at this point.
 
Slot has a big returned to 4th year after summer holidays wearing a suede jacket and claiming to smoke vibe
 
The championship job is neither here nor there. Carrick didn’t get the job because of how did when he was in charge of a small club. His appointment would be more similar to Arteta than it is to someone like Potter or Frank.

I'm just joking. Personally I don't think his history at Boro is all that relevant to the United job. Would have been had he done so badly at Boro it was clear coaching wasn't for him, but that's not the case. The jobs are just so different.
 
Bournemouth and United have different tools at their disposal.

Maybe you should repeat this figure, but scale it by a budget factor.

Let's see how f*cked everyone is with Iraola at Liverpool.
David Moyes in his last season at Everton before joining Manchester United: 1.7 points per game, 42% win percentage.

Iraola last season: 1.5 points per game, 34% win percentage.

He did lose Semenyo, Kerkez and Huijsen though
 
I feel there were probably some chats, Alonso wants full manager control, Liverpool don't do that, Richard Hughes as sports director has a lot of that control and he has worked with Iraola so looks the obvious solution.

Have you seen the board at Chelsea? He’s have more control at Liverpool than Chelsea who just buy 10 new players every transfer window
 
Let's see how Iraola does first if he does end up their manager. How many managers have made a successful transition from managing a smaller Premier League team to one of the bigger names? There's not actually many.

Jose did not do too bad when he was with us:smirk:
 
When people were talking about Iraola coming to us all I heard was how it was a risk and his football will struggle at a big club, now that his linking to Liverpool I've read all about how he is the perfect man to get them back to the top

He could end up as their Potter.
