Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper sign for Liverpool as Iraola's assistant coaches. Good news, looks like he got the men he wanted!

Know very little bout them. Any review/info, MK? Some posts on other outlets feel we should look at Milner/Tiago as well.

What about the fitness coach.

Intel design, all I know of them is they were Iraola's team at Bournemouth so they obviously work well together. Elphick is also supposedly a Liverpool fan so this is probably a dream come true for him.

Keegans Purm, it's expected that Iraola will bring in Pablo de la Torre who was part of his team at Bournemouth. His contract with Bournemouth expired this year.

TBH, I'm really looking forward to his tenure at LFC, it's gotta be better than last season. ??

The drinking game above is a hoot to play. Enjoy, lads & lasses. YNWA.

They're better than Sean Elphick and Tommy Cooper.

Tommy Elphick was a centre back in his playing days in League One and Championship levels. Seemed to be regularly named as a club captain. Don't know how he is as a coach, but his role in Bournemouth was a development coach.
Shaun Cooper was also a defender in the lower leagues. He was the asst mgr at Bournemouth. Again, nothing much else known.
Interestingly, both men were former Bournemouth players.

Is it just me, or do Elphick and Cooper sound like a double act on Sunday Night at the Palladium?

Michael Elphick and Tommy Cooper walked into a bar.
It was an iron bar!
Ouch.

Milner and Thiago to join the coaching staff. That would be perfect in my opinion. If Hughes and Edwards leave, then one of the above for DoF.

Elphick, I'm pretty sure earlier in the summer knocked back the opportunity to be Bristol City manager (local press and media got very excited when he was in the mix).

Jari, it's highly likely Hughes' assistant will take over as DoF should Hughes leave.
