Reply With QuoteI can only see us getting rid of Slot if we got Enrique. But there is bob hope and no hope of that happening. Surely if we were interested in Any of the available coaches we would react now.

Reigning League Champions cowering before PSG and City is bad enough. Losing to Wolves and getting battered like a cod fillet by Forest and PSV Eindhoven is unforgivable.

Iraola still favourite but has drifted to 6/4, as has Hoeness 5/1, some money for Klopp 6/1 and Pierre Sage 9/1

I did have this thought, very briefly the other day. I was thinking, maybe the injuries, Diogo's death and the rather large player turnover might have been the reason for the poor season.
Then I remembered the way he set the team up, week in week out. The non-defensive, defensive midfielders, the inability to build out from the back, the slow pace, the non-existent press even when pushing the 'defensive midfielders' so high. The gaps all over the park. The inibility to score goals from open play. Players playing out of position, Mac playing 90% of the season despite being utterly wank for more than year. Chiesa/Ngumoha/Joemez/Endo hardly getting a kick. The collapse of form from absolutely everyone other than Szoboszlai. And it got progressively worse, with absolutely zero shoots of recovery or glimpses of what might work better when we have different players.
If we / he goes into next season with the exact same set-up, just with new/fit players it's going to be exactly the same, if not worse.
He's not a bad manager, you don't win league titles in multiple countries if you're a fraud. But he needs a massive change of philosophy. All the best managers can adapt. Fergie, Pep, Jurgen they all changed their systems throuought their careers. If Slot can't adapt, and is steadfast with this 'system' then i'm oout.

A hustler..? He is Dutch - they love the Adult stuffmaybe he is simply lulling everyone into a false sense of security.... a delusion that the Liverpool FC Klopp built is smashed and no longer any kind of a threat. A relic...and that a return to the F$G wilderness years has already taken place. Get us back bellow the radar as we were at the start of 2024/25...and then we go win a treble..?
Anyone..?

Most managers have a set way of playing that they tend to stick to throughout their careers. Most successful managers either have a specific way of playing that they get their players to buy into, partially as a result of being round pegs in round holes, or they are a supreme motivator who can turn average players into good players, and good players into great players e.g. Klopp.
Slot is neither of those things, in fact he is the exact opposite. He has no clear defined way of playing, he tries to put square pegs in star shaped holes, and rather than being a great motivator, he is a vampire that is draining the life out of our players.
Slot is not going to turn our fortunes around. Anybody who isn't in denial, blind, or an idiot knows this. If we do somehow get off to a good start it's either going to be because a few of our best or most expensive signings start having a few good games, or just like the begining of the season just gone, we get lucky or manage to scrape together a few successive extremely unconvincing wins.
Slot will be sacked. It's just a case of when, not if. The longer he is kept on, the worse our issues will become, and the harder it will be to right the ship. This will be as a result of decent managers having already been snapped up by other clubs, top drawer players not seeing us as a first choice destination, and some of our better players either leaving because they want to go elsewhere, or because they are coming to the end of their careers with us.
