If Alonso joins Chelsea, then he obviously doesn't want to manage us now or in the future.
He has already turned us down once to stay in Germany.
Would be hard to take if he joins them.

It's hardly like he turned us down this time. We've effed around and found out. Insisting that we are sticking with Slot, regardless of the fact it's evident he's not up to the job, has given him no option but to take employment elsewhere.
That said, if he manages Chelsea he can never ever manage us, I'm afraid, and additionally he's completely soiled his reputation or legacy forever, to which I can't see any way back from.

All Alonso's fault. What do you want him to do, wait another season to see if we require his services?

Some people just need to grow up.
16 May 2026 12:57:27
If he has any ambition to manage us as he was a legend as a player, then he should wait and join another European club. Edwards and Hughes won't always be in charge.
He must know that managing Chelsea ends his chances of managing us.
Nothing to do with growing up, JB... just an opinion.

If Alonso chooses to work for Chelsea, you've got to question his life choices to want to manage Madrid and then Chelsea, pure glutton for punishment that is.

Amazing how Alonso is catching the strays while Hughes and Edwards gaslight the fanbase through their media pals.
Clearly the myth of being the smartest people in the room is far more important than being the smartest people in the room. And they are happy to toxify the fanbase to protect the myth.

As of now Liverpool already have a manager, one I can't stand the sight of, but Slot is still in charge. Are we to expect Alonso to just sit around to wait and see if the job becomes available?
16 May 2026 13:26:47
What should have happened is Slot should have been sacked last night immediately after the game, like Rodgers against Everton.
Then we should have hijacked Chelsea's move on Alonso. As it is, we've completely s*** the bed again.

I would have thought all along that if we were changing manager, it would have been well sorted behind the scenes by now and that it would be Xabi coming in. That tells me if Xabi joins Chelsea unopposed by us that Arne will not be sacked imo.

People here really expect Alonso to sit around doing nothing while waiting for Liverpool to offer him a job. He has no obligation whatsoever to wait for us while we mess around trying to figure out what we want to do.
Also, saying that if he manages Chelsea, he’ll never manage Liverpool is absurd. Rafa managed us and later went on to manage Chelsea and Everton too.

Garbage. There are managers other than Alonso available, so there's zero reason for not sacking Slot. I don't care if Alonso goes to Chelsea if we appoint Iraola.
