    Do many cross the De Klassieker divide from a managerial perspective?

    Would be a bit like Klopp going to Bayern Munich having managed Dortmund - not impossible, but would be a surprise to me.

    Yeh,i believe so.
    Just cant get behind slot,never gone into games with so many doubts about how its going to go.
    He will end up getting sacked but worried he would have already fucked up first 3 months of next season before it happens.
    Alonso was rumoured to be the target before slot but now looks like fsg want nothing to do with him.

    No wonder they don’t seem hot on Xabi… The hierarchy would never tolerate a prime Rafa Benítez; they have no appetite for a manager who speaks his mind. Jürgen Klopp was and exception - a 'rare animal' whose ability to maximise limited resources made him the perfect fit for the 'buy-to-let' ownership model.

    At clubs like Liverpool and also currently Chelsea, the badge has been superseded by the investment vehicle. There is a cynical parallel here to geopolitical hegemony: much US foreign policy that facilitates 'forever wars' to maintain fiat and petrodollar dominance, these owners seek a state of perpetual relevance rather than ultimate victory. Winning trophies is secondary to the primary objective: securing lucrative TV revenue and Champions League qualification with minimal capital expenditure.

    For F$G, financial stability is the win - even if it represents a fundamental betrayal of the fans' and players' competitive soul.

    Why would they want our scrub of a manager?

    Until late, I've tried to be fair to our manager.. And not named called, and so on. I know its not easy being a manager
    But having seen his lack of anything on the touchline, No emotion at all from him. Leads to me think either he knows hes finished here or hes been guaranteed to be in charge come August .
    Either way it's not a good look.. Is it too much to ask for passion?

    I won't go into his tactics right now.But he seems to have made the same mistake at least 7 times in the last 7 games.

    It looks like there's been some falling out.

    VVD first half v PSV looked like he was trying to get Slot sacked.

    Salah got dropped after this game, then had his pr moment shortly thereafter. Seen as a player push against Slot.

    Then MacAs pr piece, keeping things to himself, maybe it's teamwork.

    We also had Klopp, pop in with some return to footy talk also, and all of the above before new years.

    That's some amount of pr pressure imo for Slot to have faced over the season.

    Even as Salah & Robbo depart with well earned send offs.
    There's swipes around standards, and this with the Isak out news broken via the scum/rag from somewhere.

    Slots carried himself fairly well given the pressure.
    If he gets only 2 seasons at LFC winning number 20 and falling to CL football the next year, he can walk away proud of his job. Not been an easy season this year.

    Alonso would be the right fella for me. He's had the experience of drama at Madrid and knows he has a dressing room to sort out. Worked with Wirtz & Frimpong before.

    LFC & Madrid had similar failings this year. Application. Dressing rooms and egos.
    What a waste of a season.
