Furthermore, if Iraola is to be the next boss, it would help him enormously to have Milner there - a winner who knows the club inside out and who only left relatively recently. He would undoubtedly carry some of the weight that Slot ultimately couldnโt handle.
The legend @JamesMilner has retired. What a career and what a bloke.
If Liverpool have any sense they will move heaven and Earth to get him in on the coaching team. The standards he would set and demand are exactly what our players need.
๐จ Inter keep working on Curtis Jones deal as negotiations continue.
He was top target in January and still top of Inter list for the midfield. โซ๏ธ๐ต
Jones, open to joining Inter and clubs in contact. Agreement not close yet as โฌ20m suggested fee is not enough; but deal on.
What a relief. Great first season that weโll never forget and we thank him for, but it is an inexcusable second if youโre an elite club. A lot of damage done but sacking now rather than later gives us the best chance of sorting the mess out. A huge appointment to come. #LFC
@shornKOOMINS@Pete2482 Exactly this.
There are obv big questions about how we let so many run down their contracts, but that shouldnโt mean we make a mistake just to avoid Curtis joining that list.
@shornKOOMINS Itโs absolutely crazy, mate. We are so short already. Whether you like Curtis or not as a player (I do), heโll cost a fair bit of money to replace. Feels like there is no coherent plan and we are truly in the shit.
Clearly Curtis hates the manager. Why is that, FSG?
@jimmybagels306 Spot on. Drives me insane - nowhere near as good as he thinks he is and far too often a liability. Itโs a nonsense to think you canโt buy an improvement on him relatively easily.
@morton1984 Slot has to go, imo - you cannot have a season like this and expect to survive, nor realistically turn it around if you somehow do. But there are several others you go for before Iraola, all things considered.
@morton1984 Appointing someone that hasnโt previously managed an elite club with all the extra workload, games, and demands, is a huge gamble. Heโd also need to give himself almost entirely to the club to make it work, which is asking a lot of a man with a young family. Wouldnโt be my choice
