Hard to be massively excited to be honest. It looks a little bit like when Rodgers was doing well at Swansea and landed the biggest job of his life.
However, a change was needed by the end. Fingers crossed it works out.
Iraolaโs Bournemouth staff he wants to bring:
**Pablo de la Torre** โ Spanish fitness/conditioning coach. Long-time collaborator from Rayo Vallecano. Handles physical prep for Iraolaโs high-intensity pressing game. Vital for maintaining energy levels across a tougher schedule.
**Tommy Elphick** โ Assistant manager. Former Bournemouth captain & centre-back. Strong on player management, defensive organisation & leadership. Iraola has called him โmore than readyโ to manage. Turned down Bristol City job to stay with him.
**Shaun Cooper** โ Assistant/first-team coach. Ex-Bournemouth player who rose through academy. Specialises in set-pieces (credited for key goals vs Arsenal etc.). Tactical detail & club knowledge.
**Tom Webber** โ First-team out-of-possession analyst. Focuses on pressing, defensive shape & transitions. Previously at Leicester & Bristol City. Adds data/video insight to support the system.
**Overall take**: A tight, proven unit that helped Bournemouth hit record points & reach Europe. Brings instant cohesion, PL experience + set-piece edge. Good blend of Spanish methodology (Iraola + de la Torre) with English coaches. Quick implementation at Liverpool, though scaling to title-level expectations will be the real test. Smart continuity move.

Konatรฉ put Saudi bids on hold for Real Madrid, as @marcosbenito9 reported.
To see Spurs and Chelsea fans mocking Arsenal after the seasons they had is beyond parody. Weโre the best team in England, and the second best team in Europe. You lot are global laughing stocks.
So pipe down, you wastrels. ๐คฃ

Arsenal is set to hold a crucial meeting with Aston Villa next Wednesday to discuss the potential transfer of Morgan Rogers.
This is a significant step, as Aston Villa is reportedly looking for the majority of the transfer fee to be paid upfront.
While thereโs still a long way to go before any agreement is reached, this meeting on June 3rd is pivotal for both clubs. The stakes are high, and the outcome could shape Arsenalโs plans for the upcoming season.
@Arsenal fans should keep a close eye on these discussions, as they could lead to exciting developments in the transfer saga.
Excluding Steven Gerrard, Ray Clemence and Kenny Dalglish.
Name the most SUCCESSFUL English player to ever play for Liverpool.
Level: Extremely Difficult

I was confident I could of played a major part this summer for my country after the season Iโve had. Iโve been left shocked and gutted by the decision.
Iโve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years.
I wish the players, all the best this summer ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
What an absolute joke ๐
You can see from both games that no actual advantage was given to Southampton and there fans donโt deserve this.
If there is any slight justice to this shocking decision then Hull City will win promotion and not a team that would get there by default!
An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubsโ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of todayโs order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

I struggle to think of 1 game this season in the league were we we have actually played well.
Slot with Klopp built squad Vs Slot with his own style and player development.
The stats donโt lie!
Losing Salah, Robbo and possibly Ali after losing Diaz, Trent, Nunez, Elliot ๐
