Let's move on to Irola at Liverpool then.
But just a wider one first, Guillaume, because we've had a couple of discussions on Five Live recently about Irola and Alonso represented by the same agency, aren't they, I think, and this whole dynamic where now...
Liverpool waited to get rid of slot until Alonso was appointed at Chelsea.
The fans were meant to be clamouring for Alonso and now they've got Ira Ola.
How have you seen all of that play out?
So we're now in a situation where a fifth of the Premier League's managers next season will be Basque, with Emery and Arteta and Alonso and Iraola.
Is that a quirk?
Is there a lineage that you can see from before these four, from where it started?
Somebody asked me this the other day, and I have no idea what the answer is, so I thought I'd ask you this.
With the Basque clubs, with Bilbao and Real Sociedad, the restrictions on the players that they can use, when did those restrictions not apply to the managers?
Or has that always been the case, that they could be managed by whoever?
So say, for example, the way we saw... Sorry, no, the easier job of the four, or just the easier... Going into the next season.
Oh, right, okay.
Right.
I'll say yes.
I think all four will still be in position at the end of the season.
I'll say no.
I said it'll be three.
Typical negativity.
Two years?
