Just a thought, but how difficult would it have been for Arne Slot had Klopp won more of the cups like the FA cup, UEFA cup and Premier League?
How much easier is it now for Slot that we only won the minor one of the cups?

What has happened in the past (including this season) has no bearing on what happens when Slot takes over - new management structure, new players coming in, current players leaving. Slot - like Klopp - needs to be judged on the circumstances that prevail at the time they are in charge.

If we had won all four trophies then Slot would possibly be inheriting a squad that won all four trophies.
That would make his job easier, wouldn't it?

What I hope we don’t see is massive rapid turnover of existing players. The squad has done pretty well this season all things considered and ripping the heart out of that just because the manager has changed will not end well. Evolution not revolution.

Expectations would have been higher and sometimes that's the killer. I think the way the season has turned out a lot of us would have been happy in August 2023. I for one said a Trophy and a top 4 finish would be a good season. I will be happy if we can get the same next year, but i will give my prediction once we know the squad that Arne will have at his disposal.
I expect signings of the likes of Gini, Mane and Salah in terms of a little uninspiring at the time, compared to going and getting the best in the market at the Time, ie Virgil, Allison, Nunez and Thiago.

Man who knows. I think the only that changes is the narrative.

Respectfully, where do you get this idea that things will be easy for Slot cos we only won a cup this season? You speak as if Klopp was only here for 3 years and that's the only trophy he won. Or are you reducing Klopp's achievements to just one season?
The fact is that Slot is coming to replace a transformational manager and one of the best managers English football has ever seen so what are you on about with reducing things to just this season only? I don't get the point you are trying to make and to me it seems you are twisting things and using Slot's arrival as a stick to beat Klopp with for this season.
As @Itstrue said, we all would have been happy with top 4 and a Cup this season judging by where we were and the rebuild we all agreed we were in. Sorry and maybe Im getting your point wrong BUT I have no idea what you are getting at here, respectfully.
