Iraola please - NOT Gerrard

"In my post I said “to get an agreement now” meaning something signed now and legally binding for Iraola’s appointment in the summer - but probably on the condition we stay in the Prem."

Maid, if he was to sign something like that, it'd leave him in a bad place if we don't stay in the Prem!..
His club would know what he's done and start looking for new as soon as he signs!..

Ex Ajax manger now come out of nowhere as favourite with bookies
Really hope it's not him

Crazy if true and would be a massive gamble. He was pretty unpopular at Ajax at the end. Similar story to Marsch at RB Leipzig, by the looks of it.

Stll hoping we just stump up the cash for Iraola...

What has Iraola achieved? Pretty much nothing. Much rather have Stevie G and Gary Mac

Fair point about Iraola but SG we know is not for us - villa are surviving but still poor

If the issue with Iraola is that Rayo Vallecano want £7 million in compensation and Leeds are only willing to pay half because he is near the end of his contract then I give up.... pay the effing money and get the number 1 choice otherwise it's Nuno for me. Typical Leeds faffing about like trying to turn the Titanic to get things done quickly.

Stevie is desperate for the job so he can stay home and just commute.

If this is the case (and to be fair we don’t know anything for sure) then it’s unforgivable. £7m in the grand scale of things is peanuts.

Oh, what a mess! If Skubala & co do OK tomorrow (a win or a draw) I think I would rather they managed/coached the team for the rest of the season and get an agreement for Iraola to take the job in the summer, if we manage to stay up. I think it would be a smaller risk to stay with Skubala than to sign such risks as Gerrard or Hasenhuttl.

Fair point, totally agree..I'd keep MS & co til end of season, SG is high risk.

Five months ago if Potter had been linked to the job we wouldn't have believed it and would have been foaming at the mouth for him.

What he did at Brighton was amazing and I'd have him in half a heartbeat.

You don't become a bad manager after five months working at the shower that is Chelsea.

He has an amazing record despite the five months he has been at Chelsea

I really think we're getting relegated. Yeah, I know,
stop being a fcking doom merchant. Saying that,
if Chelsea do sack Potter, would he join us in the
Championship? Parachute money, new ownership,
a new project. Maybe he would. I'd take him.

I can’t believe this
