John Brewin

is well regarded in the game.

And, you know, if Richard Hughes is going to Saudi Arabia, you know, maybe that's an option for Liverpool as well.

Yeah, I suppose the one thing with Raheel is his team's...

It feels like every time I'm seeing him, he's talking about how they didn't take the opportunity and they don't quite grasp the nettle in games to win them.

But they're very hard to play against, as shown by the amount of draws that they've got and beating Arsenal.

But...

With Bournemouth and with those well-run clubs, it's always a question of scale, isn't it?

How far up the chain can those players and managers go?

The thing is, Irola, he's a very unassuming guy.

He's not... When you talk about...

big managers in the game they need to be this almost domineering CEO figure that Pep's been that Klopp's been that Mikel Arteta is at least attempting to be I think one of the issues with Arne Slott at Liverpool is that he isn't really that he's a slightly different personality and

Maybe you saw with Emery, a manager who actually always beats Ireola, by the way, he didn't really fit in with the big structure at Arsenal, did he?

And I do wonder, and Ireola is a different type of personality, but he's unassuming, whether...

he gets consumed by a club in a way that Tottenham, say, has consumed managers.

That will be my concern over him.

I don't think anyone's doubting his coaching ability and his understanding of the game, at least of all Mikel Arteta, I'd say.

He's going places in the game.

There was a link, Lars may know a bit more about this, with Athletic Bilbao quite recently, which he, in the usual way, demurred and didn't really want to get involved in.

So...

That's his home club.
