He was a victim of his own success given his first season, anything less than another title would suddenly be considered a failure. Thought FSG would stick by him too.Could be a good decision but not sure Iraola is the answer.It's not even really that. Obviously there were some unique circumstances in the summer, but Slot just got found out tactically against a whole host of managers and couldn't get enough out of the players. None of our players are bad, but Slot couldn't find the balance and obviously when he did he made some poor decisions man management style too. He somehow made us even worse after we got knocked out of the Champions League too.

May 30May 30 Honestly don't know what took them so long to do it.And i'm even more shocked they didn't act quicker to go for Alonso before he went to Chelsea. Feel like it's a massive step for Iraola if that's the path they are taking...

Plus, if you get Alonson you also lose a massive piece of power internally. I'd have definitely taken him, but I also think this move is a pivot back to a different style of football. Alonso is even more possession based, whereas we need a manager who plays a more aggressice style of tooball, rotates and trusts youth. Which is somerhing Slot lacked. I also think that we weren;t necessarily going to sack Slot or there was some internal disagreement. I think Iraola will get the job, but it also wouldn't surprise me if they acted as they thought Luis Enrique was gettable.

June 4Jun 4 Excited to get going now! Not expecting us to be challenging for the title this season, but I'd like a good cup run and signs of progress and most importantly, enjoying the football games again. Feel like we have a lot of business to do in the summer and we've got 3 players coming off the back of massive injuries, with at least two of them being first team starters for us. Have to temper expectations, but think Iraola was the best choice.
