Liverpool FC - Talk /Gossip/Rumours 25/25

If West Ham go down I’d like to see them go for Fernandes.

I’d also be looking a Bowen to bulk up the squad even at 29 he would offer a lot to the squad.

There seems to be a number of Dutch players that we are being linked with in the press.

Whether it is bollox or not remains to be seen, but I'd there is any credence to it, then it might suggest slot staying.

We talk about new players and managers, but really the greater need would be in the coaching staff. Whilst the buck stops with Slot, the defensive and set piece coach needs a massive upgrade.

Looks like we will limp to Champions league football next season. Very important from a financial standpoint and for attracting players.

Still the most of 15 mins. Left

The Liverpool based podcasts are all fed up and want him out pretty much. They don’t believe Slot can fix it. The worrying thing for them and for most of us I guess, is the lack of graft and desire.

It’s crazy that this time last year people were singing his praises. How quickly things change.

Yea, I’m at the point now where just to stop people going on about Slot would it be better to get Alonso (or whoever) in just so everyone is on the same page.

On a human level I feel very sad that it’s come to this. There are valid reasons as to why this season has been so poor but people are not willing to entertain them and just want him out. It’s weird in a way…i think the board and Slot himself thought they would have more time and are probably a bit shocked.

A part of me thinks that it’s the whole Jota thing. That it happened during Slot’s tenure and that if he goes we won’t have to acknowledge it anymore. Clean slate.

He not going anywhere. I'm absolutely sure of it hell be in charge start of next season, I just really hope the club don't do something stupid and extend his contract as a sign of support if we secure CL football but you can't rule anything out given he's still there now.

Slot will have alot leeway with players like Salah, robbo, Trent leaving and the transition this brings and I genuinely believe CL football for next 2 or 3 seasons is what the hierarchy are setting a goal as these new wave of players bed in.

I really hope I'm wrong but I don't think he's anywhere leaving until next season minimum. Arsenal have could really have a strong run next few seasons with city and Liverpool on such transition. Both teams are so far off their standard from even afew seasons ago

When you sell almost 300m worth of players to fund it and have generational talent finishing their careers like Trent, VVD, Ali, Robbo and Salah then it's really not that simple.

I called this a while back, I still think with no contract on the table, and his reputation not fully in the tank yet (non-fans don't pay as much attention, or care so much as fans do), Slot may be attracted enough to walk. If he could pull a 4 year contract from Ajax, worth perhaps 12-15 M, then he may be willing to negotiate out of his current final year contract from Liverpool, and get perhaps half of what's remaining (3M or so), it might be attractive to all sides.

Alternatively he sticks around and if he has a nightmare start next year, he could be out of a job in 6 months anyway, with his reputation in tatters, and way less prospects.

I'm sure he has the confidence/arrogance to stick around but leaving on his own terms is not a bad option for him at all imo.

Slot will have clubs much better than Ajax in for him, that's why I don't think there's much of a story here. They're a mess on and off the field right now (much worse than us)

It's also interesting to see what National Teams look good or bad at the World Cup

Nagelsmann, Tuchel, Ancelotti are too good for international football and could easily get back to a top club job if it doesn't work out in June

I'm not saying necessarily for us, but they're the calibre of manager for the top Champions League clubs in Europe so any of them looking for a job could easily start a merry-go-round of managers
