Andoni Iraola has left AFC Bournemouth and is set to become Liverpool's new manager - but is he the right fit for Anfield? What should the Reds expect from him?
In this pod, Sam and Tom sit down to discuss the Spaniard's move to Merseyside, analysing the high-intensity football that transformed Bournemouth into European qualifiers and whether it can translate to one of the biggest clubs in world football.
Plus, Marco Rose has spoken for the first time as AFC Bournemouth head coach and, after sitting down to watch the full interview, we came away seriously impressed.
From his admiration for Andoni Iraola's work to his commitment to Bournemouth's front-footed identity, Rose said plenty that will excite Cherries supporters ahead of a historic season featuring European football.
We break down the key talking points, what stood out most, and why his humility, preparation and understanding of the club could be a huge sign for what's to come.
