4 year deal apparently. They have moved quickly.

Right now, I can’t really think of anyone better to appoint.

Best manager we've had in years.

Let's hope he gets us into shape and has a say in the recruitment that desperately needs to change.

f**k it, were gonna win the lot next season. Im a glass half full kinda guy today😂

Best appointment so far I reckon.

AND it's annoyed Liverpool fans!

Let's hope THIS one works out.

Eghbali and the directors will still go in to the dressing room after games and still pull the same BS they have done for years.

I guess that always the case, whatever the result today but they do need to score some good points with the fanbase

How the f**k did these clowns pull this off. They definitely had to eat a lot of humble pie as Alonso could have waited and have a pick of clubs this summer.

He probably got everything he wanted from a operational perspective to have this close so quickly.

Best available manager on the market.

Can’t for a second imagine someone with that pedigree would accept this absolute sh*tshow without guarantees being made beforehand.

With us missing out on Europe entirely now this is giving me serious Conte vibes ie we’ll be able to give the league a proper good go next year.

About the most positive I’ve felt since BlueCo infected this club.

Only half the battle. Means nothing if they don’t change upstairs.

Or at the very least the way run things

if it’s true it’s a good piece of news. However, are we sure this is not to get us forget the FA Cup final loss and we’ll end up with Silva?

He has to be given time. It will be at least a year before he gets the squad he wants.

I expect big moves out and into the club this window.

Welcome to the club.

I literraly have no clue.. When I looked at the initial shortlist - Silva, Glassner, Iraola I was gonna puke.. maybe they learned but it's too early to say.

Great appointment

But he must be desperate for a job, how come no else is after him , not even Liverpool?? We must be the worst choice for any decent manager ?

Anyway, good luck to the guy,

Come on you BLUES!!

@axman2526 will stamp that out very, very quickly.

Happy with this. He’s about as good as we can do. We’ve had a poor run, he had a difficult end at Madrid - maybe things come together at Chelsea.

I just hope the directors and owners sort themselves out also during this “period of self reflection”.

Got to be happy with this.

Can only imagine Alonso watched the CWC Final win over PSG last season and then hasn't watched us since!

Honestly mate I'm surprised at how hard the loss today has hit me.

I just don't have the energy to give my usual doom and gloom.

Watch how the owners force him to have Callum as his assistant, he should say no i want JT

I'm honestly wondering, is he a top appointment?

As a player yes a top career, excellent. As a manager though what makes him a top manager?

Ax I think he might be a tad better than Rosenior & McFarlane. 😂 Of that we should be thankful.

Truth is there are not a lot of big clubs looking for a new manager this summer.

Barcelona, Bayern, PSG, Inter, Atletico and Arsenal are all set.

Slot never looked in any danger of getting the sack at Liverpool, no matter the rumours, nothing was ever solid.

City seems to have Maresca lined up in case Guardiola leaves.

And the other two really big clubs in need of a manager were Chelsea and United. The other Italian clubs such as AC Milan and Juventus, I do not really count as I do not think they would stand a chance against United and Chelsea if it comes to any manager or player/s choosing them over us.
