Hi Eds, is there a greater financial implication to the club if Slot's contract was terminated now as opposed to in the summer?
{Ed001's Note - well of course, the contract will be shorter in the summer than it is now, so less to pay off.}

Imagine how much money he's going to spend in Ibiza after his pay off.
27 Jan 2026 23:12:41
Thanks Ed. Forgive my ignorance. I was just wondering if it may be another consideration for why he hasn't been let go yet. Also if the cost of not qualifying for the CL would be greater than the cost of letting him go now.
{Ed001's Note - it won't be about money.}

That money (for the duration of his contract) is already allocated and committed.
It's the cost of getting a replacement in for longer (or an interim) and getting new backroom staff and new coaches which adds to the costs.

Ed is it just the remainder of the contract that gets paid out in full or is it more than that as a compensation package?
{Ed001's Note - usually just the remainder of the contract. It can depend on clauses, but standard is just the remainder.}

The question is whether the club feel the risk of missing champions league revenue is worth keeping him. I don't think it is worth it as the trajectory we're in suggests we'll be finishing mid table.

Who cares where he goes when he leaves @LFC08?
28 Jan 2026 08:52:31
Exactly what I was thinking WDW. Why do people have such a fascination with Slot's holiday destinations?
Is he the first football manager to ever have a holiday?
28 Jan 2026 09:11:57
It's a typical pay off.
28 Jan 2026 09:22:49
Ed01 what's your view on how long Slot has left. Lose to Newcastle and is it game over?
{Ed001's Note - I think now it depends on the fans reaction, Hughes and Edwards are too spineless to make the decision, FSG are trying to trust in the men they appointed but they will not wait if the fans turn. They fear attendances dropping.}
28 Jan 2026 09:29:20
Whatever the cost of it is I can assure its less than missing out on CL qualification.
28 Jan 2026 11:27:56
ED001, shouldn't there be a system for managers, that if you don't reach your targets like top 4, that if you get the sack you don't get any compensation because you've failed at your job,
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
28 Jan 2026 11:53:27
Managers are not going to sign that deal though.
