Fucking hell. Slot’s replacement this summer?

 

[mike2903]

Long time until the summer and we'll no doubt have utd competing with us.

 

[Modo]

Leaves or sacked?

He fucked up picking them over us. I knew it would end badly.

 

[Hansern]

Fucking hell. Replacing my Xabi Xabi la vie thread with the unbelievable reference to Sandra Kim from the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest. It’s such a narrow one that you’d need a map and compass to find it. Stellar work if I may say so myself.
Ah well, what could have been. 😂

Were we ever in for him or was it just paper talk?

Another LFC player managing RM

 

[binomial]

Get him in immediately.

 

[mike2903]

We're going to have to find 3 centre backs from somewhere ready for his arrival.

 

[Hansern]

Xabi needs to take a few months off and then we can sign him this summer.

There's a lot of over rated young managers about at the moment.
Wonder if they would go all out for Klopp.

There’s an instant replacement and it ain’t Klopp.

Alonso to be revealed as new Liverpool boss after we go out of the cup v Barnsley cos ol slap head has played the under 21’s.

 

[Woland]

How come there's so many top Basque managers? Luis Enrique, Emery, Arteta, Alonso, Iraola. They all come from a little bit of coast a few miles apart. What's going on? What happened?

Arteta???

 

[binomial]

Fly him to Liverpool for the game tonight, if we’re not 5 up by half time, sack the cunt and appoint him.

If he doesn’t win his first 10 on the bounce, sack and get Arbeloa in.

 

[Woland]

I think it might have something to do San Sebastian's big club. I mean say it phonetically

I was thinking about starting a football club stroke business with your father. But your dad is a sausage. He's a real sausage your dad..... Real Sociedad.

 

[Woland]

Loved it when Johnny Aldridge won them over at Real Sausageyourdad

 

[Buddha]

I’m going into a sweat lodge immediately and not coming out until he’s announced.

 

[Hansern]

Kinda makes sense that it was his decision. Must be an awful environment to be a manager.

 

[Woland]

Arteta???

I put it in the middle and didn't think anyone would see. But let me break it to everyone gently. It's January now. He might, you know... He might. Ok I won't say it.

‘Arteta, Alonso, Emery, me… none of us were physical players – we needed the understanding of the game. That probably helped us move into management’: Premier League boss reveals reasons for natural career progression

Premier League management isn't easy - but there's perhaps a reason why so many are coming from the Basque Country

www.fourfourtwo.com

“It’s a coincidence but a real pleasure,” Iraola tells FourFourTwo. “The only reason that it makes sense is that Mikel, Xabi, even Unai… none of us were physical players. We needed the understanding of the game to play well. It’s probably helped with our transitions into managers.”

From Arteta and Emery to Alonso: Why does the Basque country produce so many top managers?

Mikel Arteta, Unai Emery and Xabi Alonso have two things in common: they're Basque and they're top-level managers. What's behind this phenomenon?

www.espn.com

That focus on youth football, on teaching, Diaz notes, brings with it opportunities for coaches: the more you coach, the more you need coaches. And those who teach coaches. "The role of coaches is valued highly and the structures in place in Basque football prepare players to stay in the game. Clubs here turn to homegrown coaches," Diaz says. In the past two years, 700 new coaches have gained their licence in Gipuzkoa.

=========

"There is a culture of doing things collectively here," says Jon Ayerbe, who played with Arteta, Alonso and Iraola at Antiguoko and now lives in Germany. "There's a strong sense of doing things as a group. No one tries to stand out over the rest. That idea is deep in society here and you see it clearly in Xabi and Andoni: reflective, intelligent, no presumptuousness."

No way would I get Xabi at LFC especially after failing at Real and secondly not sure he would be happy to come to UK with Labour gov and current tax rates. I would imagine Turkey or Saudi maybe fitting for his needs.
