Romano, whatever you think of him, saying there will be an end-of-season review before decisions are made, Slot has not yet been told he'll be let go and that Liverpool have not had any talks with Alonso.
I don't agree with that last part whatsoever, but I thought it was an interesting take.
How would you feel if it turned out we never actually made a move for Alonso and the club was genuinely backing Slot for next season the whole time? Would it change your view on FSG and their ownership?
26 Apr 2026 12:35:11
Chewy, Romano is not worth any serious person's time, tbh.

FSG touched lucky getting Klopp, the club value went from about 600 million to reports of 4 billion£. Doesn't matter how you play it another 12 months of this ( crap unsuccessful bland football ) will devalue that. We need the right manager one who improves players and the team and that's not Slot.
26 Apr 2026 12:56:58
Hence why I said "whatever you think of him". Personally, I don't think much of him myself, and he certainly isn't a source for insider information regarding Liverpool, like I said, I don't agree with it at all, but I just thought it was an interesting take.

I could accept the "transition" season if there were any signs of us getting better or the fact that we were awful for last few months of last season.
FSG can't be blind, if they have seen us play for majority of this season they must have seen how poor we have been & that Slot has failed to address the issue.
Many rival fans might look and say a title & CL football next is great return, but I'd say the title was won after the ground work had been laid & after the huge outlay in the summer, the slow build up play clearly does not suit most of them.
Especially Isak, who needs the ball in behind or from the flanks.
Is Slot the right man to get the best out of this squad & the man who's going to take the club forward. To me the answer to that is no.
26 Apr 2026 13:24:22
Probably a mixture of half truths and guesswork. What I will say is that Slot looks like a weight has been lifted these last few press conferences. It could be that there is relief about our league position or there is already clarity on his future.
If he does end up staying, then let's hope he has learnt a lot from this season and gets us playing properly again.

This is Michael Edwards' world, and all of the journos are living in it. The price of access and genuine exclusives.
I remain stable in my delusion that Slot leaves by mutual consent at the end of the season and becomes the Ajax coach next season.

Romano, by and large, plays safe these days and doesn't post any of his juicy insider info until it's basically public knowledge.
So, we can expect a "Here we go!" from him on our new manager about 20 minutes into the press conference where the club formally unveils him.
26 Apr 2026 14:01:31
Am I missing something? I'm not sure what influence Edwards has on the running of the club. I will stand corrected. Personally, I couldn't care less about him. I never heard his name mentioned once, yesterday.

Nice one, FPF!

I've always been of the opinion that the decisions will be made at the end of the season.
However, I don't believe the comment about not talking to other managers.
They probably don't talk directly with managers, that's now how things work, but they will definitely be talking to agents.

We've just won three games in a row and had improved performances. Far too many people on here criticising wins, in what is a tough league.
26 Apr 2026 21:19:52
Which improved performances are you talking about, @Hessle?
26 Apr 2026 22:44:34
Wouldn't change my perspective regarding football matters because FSG don't run the football operations.
Whatever happens, I am sure there will be loads of finger pointing and accusations based on pure speculation that people here will use as iron clad evidence to base their argument.

We've played without our starting goalkeeper (and at the weekend without our second choice keeper), our starting right back (Bradley), most of the season without our starting striker, and, latterly, our second choice starting CF, and we've won our last three games, which has seen us move into joint 3rd, 4th and 5th, whilst under intense scrutiny and pressure. It's not all bad.

I'll kick it off, Oli.
Undefeated in 3.
The streak resumes.

Four more years! Each win gets Slot an extra season to his contract.
