If Slot does get the sack and Alonso does not put his name forward, I won't be too keen on him becoming our next permanent manager.
Like klopp said, we need players and staff who push the train. Not ride it.
If he is waiting to see if we are in champions League, or what his options are, or to start when conditions are better with a full preseason it doesn't matter to me.
If you are not the right leader in the wrong time, you are not the right leader in the right time for me.
I've had him in my top five for ages but like I said, if he is not stepping up now, then I'd prefer someone else in the summer.
That's obviously dependent on whether the job comes up.

Slot is bunking the train to his next holiday throw him off

If Slot gets the sack and Alonso doesn't put his name forward, I'm pretty sure it's because Alonso himself is not too keen on becoming our next permanent manager. He's going to be the most sought-after coach come June. From a neutral standpoint, it would be moronic for him not to wait and see what offers are on the table.
With the possibility of Pep and Enrique moving on, there could be a lot of movement in the summer, and teams like City or PSG would provide him a far less risky route to silverware and getting his career back on track.

If that is the case, Chewy, that is exactly the reason why he is not the man for us.
He should be running through walls to get the job, setting the tone for what he expects of the players.
