Everybody's changing and I don't feel the same everybody. Welcome to the Football Rumble. It's Wednesday the 3rd of June. I'm Luke Moore. I'm Jim Campbell and I'm David College.

Yeah, very warm welcome to the Football Rambla on this Wednesday, as I said, the 3rd of June,

gearing up for the World Cup action, the hot World Cup action that's just around the corner now.

No markers today.

Can you guys hide your disappointment?

Yeah, I'm worried about him even though I know he's probably just doing extra World Cup prep, isn't he? Practicing catchphrases. He's at a Lily Phillips convention.

I see. Yeah, so he can't work this week. But he will be back soon. So look forward

to that. Marcus, if you listen in, which I know you are, have a lovely time. Thanks to Friend of the Rambled Nathan for giving us that intro line.

We'd love to see more of you. So do do that. And you can submit an intro line every Wednesday. As I said, right, chaps, I think it's a bit like when I worked at ASDA, putting all the promotional stuff on the shelves when I had that job today,

it's a manager special. It's a manager special, guys. It's not two litre bottles of

dark Pepsi for two quid. It's Andoni Iriola. It's the amazingly named Pierre Sage.

It's Tom De Eckhart doing a hostage type video. It's Craig

Bellamy. There's loads of stuff. And when you get bored of the manager chat, don't worry.

Just stick around because we're going to talk about rule changes. So everyone should be very

excited. The first place to start, though, will be Andoni, Iroola, who is reportedly set for

Liverpool.

Liverpool have reached an agreement in principle to appoint him as their new manager,

because apparently they want a manager who can deliver front foot aggressive football.

Jim Campbell set the scene for us.

The first thought I had about this is that it seems like a really extreme way to get the best out of Milos Kerkers.

I wonder if basing the entirety of the next couple of years around getting a bit more out of him is the right strategy.

But I think there are probably some other benefits having Iriola as well.

One of them being that he's obviously a very, very good front-footed manager, as you've alluded to there.
