Or Herr Flick from 'Allo 'Allo!
Xabi's always struck me as a thoroughly decent, down to earth human being, and real student of the game. He must have hated what he was dealing with over there.
He can't be that thoughtful. Dreamy could have worked out he was going to have to deal with similar issues.
Do you think he called Rafa for advice first?
Probably sent him a letter made from cut up newspapers.
I once did send a black mail one like that to get a job.
Winning the title here with Liverpool > anything Xabi has done.
Did you get it?
I did. I got the idea when I was stoned as fuck, playing PS 1 with my friends.
We used to sit a whole night and smoke and play multiplayer racing game.
Not being top of the La Liga, not winning the World Club Cup and losing a domestic trophy to Barca = failure at Real Madrid regardless of how unfair that is.
Nobody will ever look back at this spell and say it was anything other than a failed move for him. Well except you clearly 😅
Every man and his dog knew that before he went there.
And if you think being second in La Liga to Barcelona and losing a trophy to them is anything but failure at that club then I don’t think you’ve been paying attention. The bar is higher there than anywhere. They’ve sacked managers in the past for winning the league. Xabi was a failure in Madrid terms.
That's incorrect dude. What he did at Leverkusen was amazing. I don't even like the guy but I've gotta respect him.
As a Liverpool fan I should have stated.
Many feared it’d be another 30 years post Klopp before we won a title and Slot did it straight off the bath. That trumps winning in Germany for me.
I’ll care even less for Xabi when takes over from Pep.
We can have Enrique please!
I’m sure Real fans the world over are talking today bout the successful spell Xabi had in charge 😅😅😅
Enrique shits all over Alonso if a viable option.
It seems that most of the footballing World seem to think he has been treated unfairly, and most articles/tweets etc are about how good the results have been so far.
All in all, its not seen as a failure and no serious team would have any qualms about hiring him.
Ahhhh yes. Beating the Bayern monopoly was nothing.
If city enter the chat for Enrique we don’t stand a chance.
I think it’s more nuanced.
Enrique won stuff by managing the best team with the most resources.
Alonso turned Neverkusen into winners.
Let’s see. His Bayer L team went backwards and now he’s walked away from Madrid which I don’t think he would have done as WCC champions, top of La Liga by 5pts and Super Cup winners.
He’s still a gamble for any big team and definitely for us without the players for 3-5-2.
Didn’t say it wasn’t but for me giving us our second title in 35 years was bigger and post Klopp. Wtf have Utd done post Ferguson. Arsenal post Wenger. Winning no20 was massive.
He turned PSG into the best team without the best resources.

He set that Real team up mainly playing 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. And got those results.

Yes, poor old Enrique. Spending 800 mill euros since when he was appointed in 2023 is like working with nothing.
A tournament they didn’t even want to enter! Maybe we should be after Maresca seeing as he won the thing and, oh, lost his job for doing crap.
Our second title in 6 years. Don’t be one of those mongy fans of other clubs. Winning 20 was a perfect storm for Slot. Don’t be making out he did anything amazing to do it. If he is so amazing why are we so shit right now?
