The Winds of Change

[miller0863]

Not just for our head coach but for Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards.

Could be all three are gone by the start of 2026/27.

And if I had the choice of all three stay or all three go, I wouldn’t miss any of them for a day.

Sooo .. feel free to use this thread instead of the ridiculous old one, claiming Slot should stay

[Gurthers]

Slot, at the very less should be gone. Should have been gone in November.

The worst I have ever seen. Genuinely surprised that the score on Saturday wasn't worse.

He can't even get their physical conditioning right. Truly woeful manager/head coach.

If you look at the market values and transfer fees for Summer 2025 then LFC did well enough in it's turnover.

Manager - Period - Net Spend & Market value gained per euro spent.

Emery Villa 22/23 to 23/34
€125.09 mill net & 151 cent gained per euro.

Klopp 16/17 to 19/20
€93.35 mill net & 87.4 cent gained per euro.

Slot 24/25 to 25/26
€258.4 mill net & 82.8 cent gained per euro.

Klopp 20/21 to 23/24
€303.85 mill net & 59 cent gained per euro.

Areta 20/21 to 23/24
€531.35 mill net & 54 cent gained per euro.

Rodgers 12/13 to Post-Summer of 15/16
€173.86 mill net & 2.4 cent gained per euro.

This analysis suggests Emery did great business at Villa with BR at LFC doing shit.
Slots close to Klopps early era for value.

Kerkez for Tsimi, and maybe now Robbo with Tismi coming back. Good business.

Frimpong for Trent. Good business.

Leoni for Quansah. On paper good business. Leoni injured.

Wirtz for Elliott. Good business. Elliott homegrown and likely returning from loan.

Isak for Diaz. Good business.

Ekitike for Nunez. Good business.

Jota RIP.

I'd have kept Nunez most others were happy he was sold.

Ngumoha leaned on to make appearances. Seems to be good business.

It's not down to player quality in the squad.

[Insidious]

He can't even get their physical conditioning right. Truly woeful manager/head coach.

That's been intriguing this season as I honestly felt we looked fine in that department for the most part in 24/25 yet this year we're looking dreadfully fatigued.

[miller0863]

May not be down to player quality but the squad is terribly imbalanced.

[miller0863]

And physically we have been gassed in the latter stages of just about every game and this while being outrun in 27 of the 31 league games we’ve played.

[Insidious]

May not be down to player quality but the squad is terribly imbalanced.

Massive issue this, arguably our biggest after our relative goalscoring inability.

- Get some more goals into this team
- Balance out the squad a bit more via the market
- Get some more pace in the team
- Get a Waspish player or two into the team to set pressing/tackling standards

[miller0863]

I know Slot has said he was happy with every player bought in the summer but that’s not the point. I’d like to know how they went about their recruitment in the summer.

Who decided the summer window priorities because it was absolutely ridiculous the way they went about it. To go into the new season with only two viable wide forwards, no real defensive midfielder and short of a senior CB while blowing nigh on £200m on centre forwards was utterly ridiculous

[Steveo]

Even Herrard - who is loathed to come clean with the need to remain close to the hierarchy- and in front of an Arse’n’2 Mancs - lays it out.

We could see it at the back end of last season. The Toon Cup final and the games v PSG…

The intensity was miles away and Klopp’s influence was well on the wane
