And I do think some of the kind of rewriting of history in terms of what he just won it with Klopp's team, I don't think that's fair because for a start, Klopp didn't win it with Klopp's team in his last season and Liverpool fell away.
He elevated a lot of those players that he inherited and people did buy into his methods and he was regarded as a breath of fresh air at the time in terms of a new way of doing things.
So his place in Liverpool's history books is secure in terms of he was the man that brought home
you know, the 20th top flight league title, you know, only the second man, you know, after Jurgen Klopp since 1990.

Yeah, everything points to Iriola becoming Liverpool's next head coach.
We know that there's a close bond there between the Spaniards and Richard Hughes, Liverpool's sporting director.

I think there's bound to be questions asked about, well,
It's a huge step up.
Yes, he's done brilliantly in three years of Premier League management, but the pressure, scrutiny and expectation of building a Liverpool manager is a world away from managing Bournemouth.
And of course, it's different as well when you're only managing one game a week rather than having the added demands of European football.
And he doesn't have that kind of Champions League pedigree.
But I can understand why Liverpool have decided he is the man for them.
He's also available.
There's so much to sort out this summer in terms of the squad.
things shouldn't be protracted.
