So Xabi is joining Chelsea.

Fml.

He's nuts. I can't fathom that decision. Chelsea don't respect the managerial position, and they're very open about it. I had him down as a sensible guy, guess not.

I don't blame Xabi, I blame FSG. By all accounts, we simply don't rate him. We didn't approach him when Klopp handed in his notice, and we haven't approached him now whilst we're playing the worst football we've played all century and the majority of the fanbase is baying for Slot's dismissal. He wasn't going to sit on his hands forever, he was going to go find work eventually.

Alonso going is a kick in the teeth, but there are others out there that I'd take over Slot. The top 4 with the bookies at the minutes are Luis Enrique, Julian Nagelsmann, Sebastien Hoeness and Andoni Iraola, and I would happily take any of them.

Not a bad start to the weekend for you.
