Andoni Iraola has arrived on Merseyside ahead of becoming Liverpool head coach.
The former Bournemouth boss is expected to sign his contract later today.


I guess it’s official enough, its not like he will fail a medical. Still seems a bit surreal but we have a new manager.

After Guehi i'm not taking anything for granted 
I'll wait until its officially announced

As fans we have no say in who gets the job but one thing was clear in that the last lad had to go. I like the new guys approach and the bonus is you know what you will get as he has worked in the league for last 3 years..  We aren't interested in proven winning managers so who ever got the job would have to make a big jump up. I'd put Iraola ahead of a few of the other lads touted given his experience in the prem.

Welcome to Liverpool Andoni 

Thats a good point actually, this fella knows the culture of the game in this country, he knows the league, he knows the stadiums, the weather, opposition managers, opposition players, what the Christmas period is like.....only thing different will be he'll have more games to contend with but i thought both Rafa and Jurgen as great as they were took a little while to settle in premier league wise, both got to a European final in their first season but i thought they took a little while to get to grips with the hurly burley of the prem.
