Alonso talks back on.
Ta.
11 May 2026 12:37:16
Carra, you beauty!
11 May 2026 12:38:24
Carra, ya beaut. ?
11 May 2026 12:44:10
I'd take Ted Lasso at this rate... but I hope you're right, Carra. ??????
11 May 2026 12:46:07
Bloody hell, fingers crossed!
11 May 2026 12:49:25
You beauty, what a hit, son, what a hit.
11 May 2026 12:49:36
Private jet in from San Sebastian to London close to our office HQ this morning, private jet in from Florida to the same airport.
Wouldn't surprise me, and would gladly hope it's true. Would expect to hear a few more bits over the next few days.

I have this feeling we'll contrive to mess it up, stick with Slot and end up sacking him in October or November next year as this run of indifferent form continues.
11 May 2026 13:03:45
Ted Lasso finished second in the Prem Schultzy. But he had Zava.
11 May 2026 13:04:27
Good news, Cheers, Carra. ??????
11 May 2026 13:10:58
Fantastic news ... one of the three so Im happy. More importantly, not the one we have at the moment....
Love the plane watch, Ken77!
If thats the case, then I dont know how this stays quiet.
If Chelsea are seen not to be going for him, surely there is more chance of a leak coming from them rather than the web of misinformation Edwards has deployed the keyboard warrior!
11 May 2026 13:12:18
Excellent news. Thanks Carra.
11 May 2026 13:16:43
Well, Viktor, I distinctly remember last summer you also had the feeling that we would either sign nobody or replace outgoing players with bargain basement options.
11 May 2026 13:25:22
Please. Please. Please. Anyone else right now. Anyone.
11 May 2026 13:27:57
Great news! Just hope it will end well this time, but surely, if we are willing to back in talk, that means we are serious about it?
11 May 2026 13:32:42
This is great news!
11 May 2026 13:32:59
Also just to reiterate, a flight in from Florida could also be the Chelsea mob as Boehly and his counterparts are based down in Florida.
Just a nice little bit of a rumour. Interesting talks are back on. If true, for me it's a no brainer, buckle up, reds, no matter what happens, we are in for a massive summer.
Ken.
11 May 2026 13:36:32
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you Carra. ?
11 May 2026 13:40:51
Love cushioned header, to Carra!!!
11 May 2026 12:58:09
Ed,
Who do you think should be our preferred choice - Alonso, Irailo or Hoeness?
Thanks
{Ed001's Note - I like all of them, so I am happy with any of those three.}
11 May 2026 13:49:48
Best news I heard for a while. It was weird watching the Utd game last week, as I always want us to win, but had this feeling if we played well and won comfortably, Slot would stay, which I didn't want as the football is so dull.
Best case scenario is we limp over the line and clinch the Champions League place, and Alonso comes in at the end of the season. Plus I win £50 as I put a little bet on when Carra first mentioned that Alonso was in the frame.
11 May 2026 13:55:05
Great news, thanks Carra.
Fingers crossed Beavis and Butthead don't balls this up.
11 May 2026 13:58:20
He's seen as a genuine long term option of at least 5 years, but hopefully double.
We need a robust, stable system in place, led by a proper figurehead who understands and respects local culture. Alonso is that man. Edwards wants to work with him.
11 May 2026 14:13:57
Thanks be to God, yet again two point oh.
11 May 2026 14:21:45
Looks like FSG may have finally stepped in to prevent Edwards from further cock ups. Fingers crossed.
11 May 2026 14:48:18
Thank you, Carra...
Oh boy... These players better enjoy their extra holidays in the next 2 weeks... no more mini-getaways, but a helluva lot more running.
11 May 2026 14:54:40
Thanks, Carra.
Great news! Hope all confirmed soon, as can't listen to Slot's excuses any more. He has clearly lost the players and fans.
Is the club finally moving forward now following Chelsea's interest?
11 May 2026 15:32:01
Cheers Carra, hopefully it's sorted soon, this one's been on and off more than Katie Price's knickers.
11 May 2026 16:28:21
Cheers Carra.
11 May 2026 16:28:23
When you misuse your best player and you do not manage the situation properly, you don't only lose him. The dressing room will start having doubts, it will show on the pitch, and then you lose the fans. When you arrive there, it's too big a mess to continue.
11 May 2026 16:45:01
Nice one, Carra.
Really hope it's done quickly and the new coach is there from day 1 in preseason.
