Is there anyone on here that genuinely would like Slot to stay next season? Serious question and I'd love to hear the rationale behind that thought.

Mrs Slot.

I wouldn't be totally against it, Brommers, although I'm ok with him going too.
My rational is, as always, really. We don't know enough about the situation to make that call. The club, the hierarchy, the owners know a hell of a lot more than we do about running sports clubs and the reasons for this season's performances.
They are definitely not just sitting there thinking this is ok, and Hughes and Edwards are definitely not sitting there refusing to sack him because it would hurt their egos. That's all just noise.
If the higher ups sit down with Slot, which I'm sure they do on a regular basis, and they believe that the results are due to circumstances beyond his control, and they also believe that he is the best man to turn it around, then so be it. They are in a position to make that call. We are not.
From the outside looking in, I think we need a change, but I probably know about 10% of the true information, so if they do decide to stick with him, I'll bow to their superior knowledge and judgement and support the guy.
05 May 2026 14:50:20
I want him gone, but will 100% support him if he turns things around.
05 May 2026 14:57:14
Similar to Rome, I would like a change of manager, but if Slot is here next season, I would give him the first 10 games or so to see if he can learn from this year.
05 May 2026 15:04:20
StockAitkinandJohnston,
You don't need to know any details other than this:
We are 5th in the league, trophyless, and watching rotten performances week after week.
I don't care what the suits think. The average fan on here could wrap them in spider silk when discussing football.
Slot should be sacked, and any other decision will lead to more failure.
05 May 2026 15:22:26
I want him gone.
I have, however, gone through my mind whether it's Hughes and Edwards who are mainly at fault for this season, though.
Given Slot a load of players that don't work as a unit?
Plus, there are mitigating factors, loads of injuries for one, a team clearly in transition another.
But, when you look at the things Slot is responsible for, tactics, motivation, fitness, etc., then he's been as terrible as those above him.
So for me he's got to go.
It would be great if the club rectifies the squad for the next season with some pacy wingers, a solid midfielder and a right back that can stay fit. That would help Slot loads.
But I'd rather that team was given to a more suited manager.
05 May 2026 15:32:56
I honestly don't think anybody on here would prefer him to be the coach next year, it's just that some of us are depicted as being Slot aficionados and die hards just because we don't hate him, think he's an evil parasite or want to throw rotten fruit at him.
I have genuine concerns about the way the team is being prepared for games, I don't know why we tend to come out the gates looking so dumbfounded in the first halves of most games, it's like we've accepted throwing 45 minutes away countless times, and our off the ball structure is just absolutely inexcusable.
We've shown that we can press in a coordinated and intense way, but because of fitness and injury issues, we can't sustain doing that for more than a game a week. Otherwise we have this awful half press from the front that's easily bypassed and then the creative players in the opposition midfield have all the time and space in the world to drive up the field and pick a pass.
Against United, all it took was two passes from their penalty box to get to ours, that is just inexcusable (granted United were just as open as we were, and I still don't have an explanation for why we didn't throw everything at it getting a third goal when we were on top).
I'm sure we're all skeptical as to whether buying more players will fix the fundamental issues that we have. Sure, buying pace and trickery on either wing will go a long long way to improving us. Against United, if we had pace on the flanks, we would have had a vastly improved performance with forwards running in behind. There appear to be problems that the transfer market won't fix, though.
05 May 2026 15:33:05
If you're in the shoes of the board, unless we fail to make CL, or there's a player or fan mutiny, why would you sack him?
Commercially, there'll be a performance clause in his contract, and I'd guess he'd fulfill it by qualifying for CL, so they'll have to pay him up to get rid. You may as well have someone there part time who's overseeing the attainment of your target, which is CL, rather than paying him up and paying a replacement, and the back room staff, to basically achieve the same thing.
A bit of noise on forums isn't going to make a jot of difference to a hedge fund in the US, and Arne is getting paid a fortune for working part time, so why would he go early.
They probably figure there's no guarantee a replacement will do much better, so commercially it's safer to do nothing.
05 May 2026 15:55:00
Wanting Slot to stay doesn't make anyone a die hard fan, just as much as someone wanting him gone a lesser fan who doesn't follow YNWA.
The last two managers that were sacked, Hodgson and Rodgers, took the blame of the team's performances and results on the pitch. For some reason we must be the only club in professional football where our Director of Football, CEO of Football for FSG and Assistant Manager seem to be to blame for tactics, team selection, fitness levels, playing style and performances.
Last season Slot and the players were hailed for winning the league, and Slot and the players have to carry the brunt for the performances and results this season.
Slot should be removed from his position and quite a few players should be moved on (sold).
If the manager and players expect 100% from the fans, then they should be giving 100% back. Can we honestly say that is happening?
Because I can happily say I've seen this team in the flesh and they are not. Which means either Slot can't motivate them, or they're actually following his instruction to play this way.
Every week, regardless of the result, win, lose or draw, everything should be left on the pitch.
I'm sick and tired of the players looking like they aren't that bothered, and the manager clearly showing, through his actions, that he's happy to spend more time not putting things right by going home than he is putting it right.
If Slot is here next season, my support for LFC will not wane, but I fear things will go from bad to worse.
05 May 2026 16:33:24
The jetting of the Holland any chance he can, not embracing the city, and allowing the players extra days off, for me, means next season will be a right off with him, regardless of who is signed.
If he held discipline with the squad and with training, I could understand why we would have struggled this year with the lack of wingers we have in our squad, our injury issues and of course the sad passing of Diego.
Feels like he's written the season off and that's something I can't accept as a fan.
05 May 2026 16:39:07
Lowe1FC, we are 4th. I too would like a change of manager but will support the team come what may...
05 May 2026 16:05:52
Only people who want him to stay, are the fans of other clubs and Rat boy Neville
05 May 2026 17:39:39
I'm sick of this argument that if you don't support the manager you don't support the team. Rubbish. I want the team to do well, however, I look at the big picture and we ain't jack again in this current set-up.
This is why I want him gone. That combined with a woeful loss record, awful performances on and off the pitch, zero style of play or ideas, and abysmal fitness. Get him gone.
05 May 2026 18:06:27
He's not set the standards I expect from this team and he seems oblivious to the problems. That is enough for me to want a change.
There is no energy in the team, there is no competitive edge. There is no coherent plan. Crucially, he does not get the best out of the talent available and players are regressing rather than progressing.
Standards will continue to plummet if we don't make a radical change, and that means curtains for Slot and his merry men.
05 May 2026 18:13:58
What gets me is it's his last year of his contract and they haven't offered a new deal, then why back him in the transfer window?
Man Utd did this with every manager and were left with players who didn't suit the new manager, so for me he's gone.
05 May 2026 18:44:44
Liverpool are going backwards to a frightening degree.
At very best this year we will be 17 points worse off than last season (and that wasn't a ridiculous league winning points total - 84 was quite modest).
We've done worse in the Champions League.
We got humiliated in the FA Cup.
We completely threw away the League Cup.
The team are unfit and unprepared.
The football is crap.
All of the above after spunking hundreds of millions on improving the team.
Slot has shown no evidence he can stop the freefall or that he has the desire to fully commit to the role.
There is absolutely no reason to keep him. None.
The only reason he is still in a job now is either cowardice or rank incompetence - take your pick.
05 May 2026 19:16:39
Man should have gone months ago and should never be kept under any circumstances.
06 May 2026 06:00:52
Get him out of here.
If they want Enrique in a year's time instead of the available managers, I'd still want Slot gone.
Give it to someone else for a year. Plenty of managers would take the job for a year and do their best to try to secure a long-term position or at least have an elite addition to their resume.
But we desperately need change. You can see it in the players, the fans, and everywhere else.
06 May 2026 11:33:03
I mean, we were 10th at one point. Yet, somehow, Slot has shown no evidence he can stop the freefall? So we've free fallen from 10th to 4th?
