🚨💣 BREAKING: Liverpool reach agreement in principle to appoint Andoni Iraola as new manager, here we go! 🔴🫱🏻🫲🏼
Exclusive story from Saturday, 100% confirmed: Arne Slot left and Iraola will lead #LFC project, as expected.
Talks advanced over last 48h and deal in place.
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
Liverpool Football Club owners have a duty to their fans to serve the club's best interests.

The players have lost faith in the manager's tactics.
Liverpool are in a downward spiral, and it will continue into next season if no action is taken.
The fans have lost all emotion and are numb watching the team.
@LFC needs new direction and new life. The fans need hope.
🚨🎙️Jamie Carragher on Arne Slot response to Mohammed Salah’s comment about the Liverpool’s standards dropping
“Many might be surprised to hear this from me but Mo Salah has been an absolute legend for this club — goals, assists, leadership, the lot. When a player like that speaks about standards in training, the gym, and how you set the example for the young lads, you listen. Not get all prickly in a press conference and start gripping the chair like someone's questioned your authority.
Arne Slot’s doing a decent job, but this felt off. You don’t push back on Mo like that, especially when he’s basically warning the club not to let things slip after he leaves. Salah’s earned the right to say it. If the manager’s getting defensive instead of backing his biggest star fully, that’s a concern. Standards start at the top — and right now it looks like Mo’s the one still raising the bar."
Mohamed Salah’s message to everyone at the club:
“I remember when I came here first, I think nobody was working before training. I’m not saying nobody was working but Millie, Adam, and Sadio were working after training, if I’m mistaken please forgive me for that… but I came I want to work before training, I want to work after training. I want to work all the time and then they [the players] also work before training. This is the thing that always makes me happy. This is something that makes me so proud and something if I’m being very honest because I love this place so much, I have my best years… I really want the guys to continue like that [and work all the time].
“I always tell Dom [Szoboszlai], if you win the Premier League every year, you take nothing from me. Just like I done my thing here. But I want the guys to succeed here, I want the club to be there. And this is one of my main concerns. I spoke to a member of staff, I spoke also to guys up there, I told them when I leave, you need an example here. You need people to come early to the gym and people look at them ‘Oh he go to the gym, so I need to go.’ If that didn’t happen or doesn’t happen I think it will be tricky for this club because it’s something very very necessary. You put the standard high, like people have to come early. People have to go gym. People have to look after themselves and I don’t want that to change after I leave or anything. I just want to have that standard at the club because it’s very important for the team to keep winning things and this is one of my main concerns for me.”

🚨❤️ Dominik Szoboszlai: “I love being here. My family is happy, I love the club, I love the fans”.
“I love to play for this club and that is it”, told @ptgorst.
So disappointing this. We’re being priced out of the ground and they won’t realise until it’s too late and the atmosphere doesn’t exist anymore.
No matter how little the increase is it’ll be the difference for someone between going and not going.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
