      We'll have to move quick for our first choice you'd think. Iraola already has plenty of interest + Liverpool looking for a manager is still a possibility

      As I’ve seen others say on Twitter, it is a bit amusing/confusing/worrying that two managers who play very different styles are apparently our two top choices.

These mystery candidates whose name aren’t in public domain is very very worrying too because they’ll be absolutely ridiculous. But they’ll end up closer to the job than some of these bigger names no doubt.  I know they are sa
