I've not even heard of Iraola like, and most are saying it's a coup for Bournemouth.
I need better European knowledge.

Just my opinion, hopefully he goes else where and proves me wrong.

They've appointed Iraola in the past few hours - be harsh to sack him already.

They've upgraded their manager, he's got a good reputation.
i can see the logic.
Done well at vallecano

Got them promoted and finished 12th then 11th.
They had the 3rd lowest wage bill in the league iirc.

Just checked and they finished 12th out of 20. He comes with a 39% win percentage at Vallecano. It all seems very average to me

Meh. It could be argued that’s not a lot to different to O’Neil’s achievements minus the promotion.

They were 18th in wage bill terms ffs.
In 3 seasons he's got them promoted and finished mid table twice with the 2rd lowest wage bill. Got them to the last 4 of the cup for the first time in 40 years.
O'Neil came in mid season and kept them up while spending quite a bit of money in January. He undoubtedly did a good job.
Iraola did a great job at vallecano.

Chelsea have the highest wage bill in the prem. Sometimes it means fuck all.
Call me old fashioned but I think O'Neill did a good job and deserved another year based on his own performance

Nonsense. Generally you finish close to where wage bills are.
If you are refusing to acknowledge achieving good seasons with a tiny wage bill as an achievement then you're thick as mince.
Call me old fashioned but I think people who pretend to support their rivals for years are embarrassing and pathetic individuals.

Leicester won the league with fuck all wage bill so you're the thicko

You spent years pretending to support Sunderland on here. You're the loser, clearly.

In general. Not always the case obviously.
Why have you ignored that you pretended to support Sunderland on here for years?

Ah i see, it's only true when it suits.
The mods gave me that title, nothing to do with me

the point is those clubs over achieved...they are the rarity..for them to overachieve some others underachieved..
but the median club will finish near its wage bill poition over say, a three year time horizon..

This. All 3 managers have been credited with doing a superb job and rightly so. Similar to what Iraola done at Rayo.
Strange that its seemingly meaningless because its a foreign league.
