according to some orta is in Madrid talking to iraola.
Romano says the same

Suspect he’s been talking to both. Looks like a shoot out between the two. Wouldn’t rule out Gallardo yet either but he’s the least likely out of the 3.

That's a really good shortlist. Any of those would be great appointments

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Feb 08, 2023 10:15 am  

Pep rates Galardo as one of the best.
Then again he said the same about Bielsa.
I`m pretty certain Orta has already put feelers out and knows who he wants.
The next bit will be if that person wants to come.
Wasn`t JM already spoken to long before Bielsa left?

isn't everybody????

the more I read about iraola the more I think he is the one

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Feb 08, 2023 1:18 pm  

It will be difficult to get any of these guys mid season when they're doing so well will be difficult and will require the club to pay a big fee.
Rumour is Corberan wanted a longer contract than 18 months, but Leeds weren't willing to offer more. However, Phil Hay reckons they were never in for him, so who knows

I think so too. Suspect delay is due to negotiations with club over fee. He'll be a big loss for them but money talks and they don't have much of it. Also SSN saying this pm Arne Slot not primary target.

only 6 months left on his contract too

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Feb 08, 2023 4:55 pm  

€10m is the release clause apparently

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Feb 08, 2023 5:58 pm
