Andoni Iraola is the new Liverpool manager.
Ta.

Do you know if we spoke to Hoeness Carra?
31 May 2026 20:46:20
Yeeess, Carra!
Nice one, thank you.
31 May 2026 20:49:51
Happy days...
Let's hope he gets a great pre season in with them and they all want to buy into his hard working ways.
They should all want to work hard just to represent the club.
If not then move them on ASAP.
YNWA.
31 May 2026 20:50:24
Nice one, Carra, we can all look forward to watching our team play again.
31 May 2026 20:50:59
Thanks for the update, Carra. Any news on whether Edwards and Hughes are staying on?
31 May 2026 20:54:08
Fantastic news. Am so excited now for next season.
31 May 2026 20:54:11
Thanks, Carra!
Added bonus - he's only 2-3 years older than Milner and he used to play as a RB - sorted!
31 May 2026 20:56:45
Wirtz has just scored for Germany v Finland.
This lad will surely only get better with Iraola as Manager.
31 May 2026 20:57:17
Thanks Carra. ?
Right that's sorted.
That Rayan almost looks nailed on to follow, I reckon. We need an attacker ... and didn't he break Fowlers and Owens record this year for age and goals?
Doesn't matter who you play for .. getting near those 2 numbers at that age not to be frowned upon.
31 May 2026 21:04:23
Cheers, Carra.
A big risk, but honestly, there's not many other options on the manager market now. I hope they put a good team around him that can bridge the gaps.
Look forward to pressing again!
31 May 2026 21:05:45
Thanks Carra,
That's fantastic news! What a great weekend!
31 May 2026 21:06:35
Thanks, Carra. Fantastic news... I can be excited about football again.
31 May 2026 21:11:34
Hughes and Edwards clearly read my article.
31 May 2026 21:15:11
Cheers, Carra.
31 May 2026 21:22:05
Kroupi. Not Ratan. Apologies.
31 May 2026 21:29:32
Thanks, Carra, massively appreciated your updates!!
31 May 2026 21:34:24
Nice one, Carra, and all the updates you've provided!
How do you feel about the appointment?
31 May 2026 21:42:10
Thanks, Carra, for all your info.
31 May 2026 21:28:40
Thanks carra..Ed 01 i'd say you're happy now
{Ed001's Note - very.}
31 May 2026 21:26:57
Any news or insight on Staff yet Carra, ITK's, Ed's?
Cheers, YNWA
31 May 2026 22:05:22
I'm looking forward to the new season now, if Slot had stayed, I was contemplating not bothering to even watch the games.
31 May 2026 22:10:07
Mighty red as I stated, apparently Bournemouth quoted Bayern EUR100m for Kroupi. Rayan mind would be a great purchase, as well as Scott.
31 May 2026 22:10:37
I'm made up with this. And I honestly don't get where all this "it's a risk" is coming from. He hasn't had one season at Bournemouth, he's had three with steady progression each season with a laboured squad and star players being sold on a regular basis.
I think finishing 6th with that Bournemouth side is more than equivalent to finishing top three in any of Europe's big leagues. I think he's class was easily a contender for manager of the season and I can't wait to see how he has us set up next year.
31 May 2026 22:12:47
1. Yes, we approached Hoeness but chose Iraola due to English experience.
2. I will put my neck on the line and say Edward's will be gone soon.
3. I'm excited by the appointment of Iraola and could potentially be just as excited by a further staff addition.
Ta.
31 May 2026 22:25:53
Slot sacked on Saturday morning, Iraola all but tied up by Sunday evening, almost as if it's been orchestrated over a period of time but the more public element is playing out now. Keeping an eye on Senesi too.
31 May 2026 22:25:59
Ohhhh, you're a tease, Carra ...
31 May 2026 22:29:45
Oh Carra, you tease.
31 May 2026 22:30:00
Would that further staff addition be a certain Thiago, I wonder... ;).
31 May 2026 22:30:12
Looking forward now to the new season starting.
31 May 2026 22:30:31
Coaching staff... is this Thiago and Lallana as suggested?!
31 May 2026 22:34:12
Thanks Carra, we appreciate your info and the others who supply some too. You've been adamant Slot was gone for a long time, even when Ornstein and co said he was staying.... We know who to trust, thanks.
31 May 2026 22:36:09
Thiago. ?
31 May 2026 22:44:17
Carra, now you can't be leaving us in suspenders like that, you naughty boy. ?
01 Jun 2026 00:10:59
I wonder who might come in as the new DOF.
01 Jun 2026 00:13:04
All the journos and Carragher who said Slot is definitely staying are shocked. On Thursday, Etienne Reinjers had a farewell party at Feyenoord with the intention of joining LFC.
01 Jun 2026 00:15:04
Sorry, to add to previous post, something must have happened between Thursday and Friday.
31 May 2026 23:39:17
Ed1, I'm sure you're doing somersaults with excitement as we speak at the sound of Edwards potentially leaving this summer ?
I have a feeling the further staff addition could be Thiago, joining as the second assistant coach alongside Tommy Elphick.
{Ed001's Note - at my age forward rolls are hard enough, let alone somersaults!}
01 Jun 2026 03:01:21
Disappointing as I wanted / hoped for Enrique.
But of the other options, Iraola was my choice only for his experience in the Premier League.
I feel like I'll be a lone voice here, but that isn't unusual lol.
But, I would implore people to give Iraola the time he needs, as there is a very real possibility we wander about for the next season or two as we get to the level he and the team need to be at.
01 Jun 2026 05:49:50
Thanks Carra.
01 Jun 2026 06:29:09
Any chance the additional appointment Carra refers to could be Klopp taking up a DOF role for the club?
01 Jun 2026 09:17:23
As Thiago has left Barcelona, I wonder if he will join as well? As assistant, or maybe even as Sporting Director?
01 Jun 2026 09:21:44
Cheers Carra, hopefully puts the Enrique talk to bed till next season.
