Welcome to the crazy season lmao
I get not wanting to overhype Alonso and it remains to be seen how good he is long-term, but he took over a team in the relegation zone and got them into Europe, then did an invincible domestic double and took them to a European final. His last season was also solid if not as spectacular. Whatever your thoughts on him, his work at Leverkusen was highly impressive. Madrid less so.
For the record, I'm not sure he was the right fit for us either.
I liked the idea of Alonso. He favours the high press, good work ethic from his players. I watched little of Leverkusen, but what I did see he had them running like a machine.
The back 3 thing would have taken work. But he knew how to use wirtz and frimpong to their best.
Madrid was a disasterous decision. The players run Madrid, the coach over sees. I can see why he took the chance, but it's not a job that the coach comes in and imposes himself on the club.
Joining Chelsea seems like madness.
He would have been a gamble for us, it may well have worked, but I don't think he was the ideal replacement
Everything points to Iraola now. I still think the club wants Nagelsmann, and the fans want Enrique, but most want Slot out. I can't speak for everyone, but the thought of Slot being there for another season of the turgid sponk served up last term makes me weep.
Not expecting miracles next season, and we may even be going back to 2015 when Klopp first came, but I am expecting better football. It'll be ****ing ironic though if Iraola gets 5th and a CL QF and it's seen as progress.

If the football is more enjoyable then I think it will be seen as progress tbh.
Seen something from Semenyo today basically saying if Iraola is appointed they will be trained hard as they train nearly everyday so I think some players could be in for a shock
Exactly. Frankly it's all I'm asking for atm (which speaks volumes about how far we've fallen)
We can debate tactics and style of play to death but we're fighting a losing battle if we're being outran every game
Think Iraola will be good. He's played a good, attractive, hard pressing football with Bmouth. Had them challenging for CL right up to the last day, who'd have thought that about Bmouth 5 years ago, all while losing some of his best players last summer and arguably Bmouth best ever player mid-season.
I think he'll be good for the squad, get them running again, will weed out the lazy players and if he can repeat with Rio what he did for Semenyo we're onto a winner.
Only concerns would be being at a big club and the defensive side of the game which bmouth weren't known for.

Get the feeling when he turned us down for Madrid, he put FSGs noses out of joint.
If we are going to appoint Iraola then I hope it happens quickly and we can get on with plugging the many holes in the squad. Our competitors are planning and moving on to targets and the Summer is complicated by the World Cup

Seeing lots people worried about managers not being able to step up from mid table clubs to bigger clubs and referencing Potter, Frank, Nuno in recent times. The difference being Frank and nuno were mainly defensively managers and Potter obsessed with possession, not really seen anyone from front foot attacking step up which in theory should be better suited to our club.
Main comparison seems to be Poch from Saints to Spurs and worked out well there.

Apparently Feyenoord's Etienne Reijnen was due to arrive this summer to support Slot.
Now Slot has gone we have to compensate Reijnen as his contract will not be honoured!
This is in addition to the reported £8m we paid Slot to leave.

I'm quite supportive of the Iraola move. I don't think he'll have a problem adjusting, we might not win the league, but at least it will be fun trying!
