Andoni Iraola

Great watch & thanks mate for sharing. I sense he can’t wait to get started.

You can see the excitement in his eyes, but what strikes me is how privileged he feels.

This feels like one of those fits like a glove appointments, like all the great mangers of the past. By that I mean he gets the club, the base and he will get the city too.

Let's hope he can become successful during his time at the club.

Agree that the vibes are spot on. I heard that he lost something like 5 out the first 7 games at Bournemouth before the players got to grips with things, and results similar to that would really dampen the excitement, but I’m expecting inconsistency early doors and am prepared for the long haul, as long as we’re putting in a shift and produce moments that properly entertain the fans.

I'm not trying to be contrarian and the biggest part of me hopes I'm wrong but I just don't share the same sense of optimism that is being expressed here. As much as I like Iraola as a person and rate him as a coach I can't escape the fact that he seems lacking for the task. He's probably adequately competent but this role needs something more and I just don't see it in him. Sorry.

Like I say, I hope I'm wrong but I can't deny my instinctive reaction to his appointment. This doesn't mean he won't get my unqualifies support, of course he will, I just feel that I can already see the way his tenure is going to end and it doesn't look good.
