saint-crinny Posted 15 June, 2016 Share Posted 15 June, 2016 Apols if I've missed chat on this already, but a couple of bits doing the rounds on social channel (pinch of salt obviously) linking Valverde from Bilbao today. To me, this would be quite an exciting appointment, he's done a good job there and has good experience elsewhere - what are people's thoughts on him?

Winnersaint Posted 15 June, 2016 Share Posted 15 June, 2016 Alan Brazil's co-host threw tim Sherwood in this morning. Interview with Kevin Phillips offered no insight. No mention of fans at all. It never ceases to amaze me how the media just don't get us. BTW the co-host was Ray Wilkins. It's not just the media. A Liverpool supporting colleague this morning asked me what I thought about Koeman and his departure and was quite surprised when I said I wasn't bothered by it. I pointed out we'd lost a lot better manager in Pochettino and kicked on from there and improved in successive seasons under Koeman and would continue to do so under whoever was appointed. He asked me who I wanted as manager and was surprised when I said I didn't really care as the club would have a succession plan in place as we did two years ago.

Foxstone Posted 15 June, 2016 Share Posted 15 June, 2016 I know ART is supposed to be mad but has anyone really considered that he's just a troll?

Le Timmier Posted 15 June, 2016 Share Posted 15 June, 2016 Someone asked Guillem Ballague about Valverde on twitter today and he said "no chance he's staying at Athletic". Without wishing to sound pedantic, that reads as thought there is no chance of him staying at Athletic. Presumably you mean "No chance. He's staying at Athletic"?!

He asked me who I wanted as manager and was surprised when I said I didn't really care as the club would have a succession plan in place as we did two years ago. If you cast your mind back to 2014, Koeman was the head-and-shoulders favourite and the fan's choice virtually from day 1. By comparison, there isn't a clear frontrunner this time. Despite having a stronger squad, the job comes with expectations that didn't exist in 2014. Wouldn't be surprised if the recruitment process drags on. Its arguably the most difficult appointment yet.

Stitched up? Perhaps but not winning CL games is definitely an occupational hazard with his current employers. They are only interested in 1 thing, a CL final place.
