The Athletic FC Podcast · Where next for Iraola? · 27 May 2026 podcast

I love watching them play. matched

I think they've got so much energy. matched

They've got such a clear idea about what the manager wants to do. matched

I think their style is quite distinctive relative to other Premier League teams. matched

I think John would probably be able to explain that better than me. matched

But it's just always great watching a team which is where the players have a real conviction and belief about whatever the manager's ideas are. matched

And you can see how much buy-in Iriola's managed to get from that squad over the years. matched

And yeah, it makes them a joy to watch. matched

Yeah, you'd like to think so. matched

I think that's the benefit of having a very strategic board who are able to kind of weather the noise. matched

If a manager doesn't start a job particularly well, I think Iriola was obviously a huge beneficiary of that. matched

And I think that's one of the strengths of clubs. matched

If you're looking at reasons that, say, Bournemouth and Brighton and Brentford have maybe got a bit of an edge, matched

over some of the traditionally bigger teams is that the board, I think, is able to withstand moments of pressure and difficult starts to a season and keep their eyes on the long-term prize. matched

And maybe they're slightly less exposed to the pressures of kind of fan and media opinion as well in that. matched

But I think that that decision to stay patient at the start of the Iriola era was obviously totally vindicated by the outcome. matched

Yeah, I would. matched

I think that the combination of having a distinct, cutting-edge style of play, that is huge. matched

The fact that it has been proven to work, not just in Spain, but in the Premier League, matched

Getting Bournemouth to sixth in the Premier League is a fantastic achievement, even independent of the manner of the football and the style of play. matched
