Liverpool Thread | 2025/26 | Iraola becomes unlikeable (p397)

[pudge]

Annoyingly Iraola going there would be good for them to say the least

 

[Chappie]

Is he leaving because of the upcoming chargeses.

 

[discopop]

So Slot slotted, Salah and Co knifing him in the back probably did for him. Another one walking alone

 

[Columbia]

Dippers showing their class again….He had the same number of titles as Klopp.

 

[Earlyriser]

I wonder if the media narrative will now change. Instead of being the media whipping boy... Manager leaving, Players leaving etc we now have the same scenario at Liverpool. I wonder how they will handle it

Yeah that would be bad news, still not sure why city didn’t approach Iraola?

 

[urban genie]

Ha ha ha tarquins having all eyes taken off them again

Yep can’t wait for the Liverpool Echo narrative…

 

[discopop]

Stevie G is favourite to slip into the role.

Didn't Spitty say some time ago Liverpool don't sack Managers?

He should be
But that squad needs a lot of work.

Also with carrick, Alonso, iriola and maresca all new managers it probably gives Arsenal the edge just because of stability
But the football should be better this season if nothing else

Maybe because they feel Maresca is more suited. I don’t think there was any other option on the table, they’ve wanted him for years.

 

[Merlin's Magic]

Iraola's style is closer to Klopp's gung-ho style. His Bournemouth team's pressing and off the ball work was tremendous. If he can replicate that there, it will be very tough to beat them. But, its easier said than done. A big club appointment doesn't always work for managers like him. Overall gutted if they get him, he came across as a likeable bloke and a better manager than Slot!

 

[hertsblue]

Another sacking by the club who apparently never sacks managers

 

[Gray]

Reckon they want the chap from Bournemouth, I would have had him at City to be fair.

 

[JASR]

The slot machine only paid out once.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Interesting to see how Iraola adapts his intense pressing style to playing twice a week. Inhalers at the ready!

He was too good to go to Italy

 

[GornikDaze]

Vacant slot at the dippers… oh wait, that was last season!

 

[moomba]

Iraola's success at Bournemouth relied on having a group of players that all bought into his ideas, that were all prepared to work for the team.

No superstars, no egos taking over.

Replicating that at Liverpool will be his biggest challenge.
