Lad's am I missing something here, please can Ed001 or Carra, Thefields anyone at all explain to me how is the club still persisting with Slot?

I'm with you, Barry. The club should have sacked him in November, I don't care what anyone says. Instead, they persisted with him despite the obvious and, as a result, our league form continued to get worse, putting UCL qualification at serious jeopardy, not to mention potential summer targets. This all falls firmly at the feet of Edwards and Hughes!

Let's lose to Spurs at home next, and I think he is off. Maybe get Gerrard as interim if Alonso only wants it in the summer.
Honestly, Spurs are so down, and their fans just know that we are there for taking and saving their season.
Says it all.

New manager bounce would be very much welcome at this arse end of the season.

100% agree, Mikey.

We're just terrible. We do nothing well. Gotta be the slowest, most boring Liverpool team I've ever known.
It's not the worst, but it's by far the most boring I've witnessed.

BarryinLouth - My personal opinion is that we reached out to Alonso back in January to float the idea of him coming in immediately, only for him to turn us down in order to see what other offers come his way this Summer, and with nobody really available in the interim bar Gerrard, the club obviously feels Slot is the better choice. If they did bring in Gerrard and he flopped, they would look unbelievably inept, as questions of "Why didn't you just stick with the man who won you the league?" are uttered from the mouths of every single pundit on the planet.
It would undoubtedly put their positions at much higher risk than seeing things out with Arne.
Cafu - If he hasn't gone yet, he's not going until the season's over.

Maybe they have no available alternative?
Maybe the preferred choice is only available in the summer.
If you get an interim in, and they get a bounce, then what do you do in the summer? Get rid of the interim, leaving the new manager under immediate pressure to do better than the interim.
And if the interim is worse, then you look like a bit of a fool.
Do it in the summer, when there is less pressure, and you can get the backroom staff sorted too.

Gamblers be gambling. The stakes are CL qualification and the impact of losing 100m+ of revenue in the middle of a squad and academy rebuild.

Ron, are you a contrarian to everything suggested? You're like the negative voice of doom. Gerrard will know he's an interim, he's not an idiot. The same way, Carrick will understand.

I would love to know what changed, tbh - you look at his record in his first 50 games vs his last 50 and ask, why did you change the whole style of play that worked so well?
Even when they revert back to it in games, they are instantly so much better, so why would that be the question?
11 Mar 2026 23:23:41
They were never going to sack Slot and we all knew that. The league was gone hence, CL footie became the target and as long as we were in or around that back then, his job was safe.
Ed01, Carra and the rest said so all season. Were going to have to suck it up and wait it out. This is not new.
