Well done Joseph, you cursed us with this thread and now he's headed to the dark side.
Think he could well be eaten alive there.
The one thing we don't know is how he handles so called big name players.
His style of play is ( sadly) a great fit for what they apparently want
These jobs are different beasts in my opinion mate and a couple of home draws and a loss to Utd curdles milk over in Norway and they have 0 loyalty as we know.
He strikes me as a man with particular beliefs both in his philosphey and integrity - he won’t ever sign a contract beyond two years - I do see the potential for his beliefs and their culture to be a miss match.
I’m actually a bit surprised he’s gone there.

Andoni Iraola got asked by @GuillemBalague on where football is going.
“Players do not demand freedom, they demand structure from their coaches. It is from that structure that they feel free and can make their own decisions."
“As coaches, we cannot arrive somewhere and tell everyone: ‘Do whatever you want. Take the ball wherever you want.’
If you did that, after 30 minutes they would be angry with us. They want us to show them the way. They demand organisation, information, different options, and thorough preparation for every game."
“They are asking us to study a lot. Our job is to put the player in the best possible scenario to shine."
“With that preparation in their armour, they can then make informed decisions and make the difference on the pitch."
“There are different styles and different ways to play, but all of them require structure, study, thought and hard work.”

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
It wont be long until he becomes an entitled bell, Talking pure bull to get clicks and endear himself to the hoards.
