Liverpool rumours 2

23 Nov 2025 16:33:00
I’ve been told from a high up member of staff that all the staff members had a meeting last week with Slot, Hughes and the ceo of Adidas, Hughes said that no one in the club is panicking as they knew this year would be a transition year and they are confident Slot is the right man for the job.

The ceo of adidas said that Liverpool shirt sales rival Real Madrid shirt sales around the world.

23 Nov 2025 17:09:43
Transition year means 11th spot is acceptable?

23 Nov 2025 17:23:57
If he doesn’t transition the midfield and the tactics then it’s only a matter of time before he’ll have to go.

23 Nov 2025 17:29:18
Sounds like BS.

23 Nov 2025 17:32:15
Do adidad run us. Nah. I reckon he's going.

23 Nov 2025 17:38:00
Last year was a transitional year, winning the league in his 1st seasin has not helped Slot at all. More pressure and expectation because of it, means you're under a microscope all the time because of the money spent as well. Especially when you are trying to make the team your own.

I'm not saying things don't need to change or improve because they do. Its up to him to now start showing why the club brought him and currently continue to back him, if he can't and things get worse. The noise is only going to get louder and then the inevitable will happen. We can only wait and see what happens.

{Ed001's Note - pressure and expectation are part and parcel of managing Liverpool, if he can't cope with it, then he is not right for the job.}

23 Nov 2025 17:44:15
Aye it is Ed. I agree and its starting to appear that he can't handle it, there were signs of it last year but I put that down to naivety on his part at the time tbh.

{Ed001's Note - I hope he can turn it around but I see no sign of him understanding the Prem and the need for physicality.}

23 Nov 2025 17:51:13
I know what you mean Ed.

Playing devils advocate. Could a change to the backroom staff e. g. changing say GVB for someone like Gerrard be beneficial in your opinion?

I used Gerrard as the example because he knows what it takes to play in the league but also know what it means to a part of the club. I know he is a devisive figure but he's a far better coach than manager imo.

{Ed001's Note - as a coach Gerrard is very good, I agree, and he would want the players working at a much higher intensity. I can see the appeal in it, but the main problem is still there. I just don't think it goes far enough, though it probably would improve things.}

23 Nov 2025 17:56:47
Exactly Ed. This job is not for everyone. One of the most pressure packed jobs in the world. It takes a very strong person to be able to handle it. I can't think of many who can. People talk about managers from other clubs who would be a good fit, and they might be from a footballing perspective, but the question is do they have the personality, nerve, confidencee (not cockiness), and presence to be able to stand up to the pressure.

There aren't many who can. I'm starting to wonder if Slot can. I'm not sure anymore.

{Ed001's Note - it is looking more and moremlike he can't.}

23 Nov 2025 18:39:58
He has to make changes ed1 or he's just signing his own death warrant. if he can't see the premiership is going more physical than it has been in ages he really will have to go.

Also personal wise need few changes, Gomez needs to start at cb Wednesday nite he can't be any worse than konate and also play chiesa he will give us energy and enthusiasm which is a start.

23 Nov 2025 18:54:33
I think Slot could feel challenged by Stevie's presence, although I would still prefer him as a coach over GVB.

This is a first for Slot, so even with all the research that can be done on him, it is still new territory. Being under pressure at a huge club with major expectations, especially during a crisis, is completely different, and it is the reason many managers and players struggle to make the step up.

I have not enjoyed Slot's excuses or his lack of clear ownership, which has only really become apparent now.

Hearing his famous Feyenoord dressing room speech did not give me confidence. It came across as slightly egocentric and a bit brentish.

I am not convinced he is the man to lead us for the next five to ten years, but that is exactly what we need. We need proper succession planning, just like in the glory days.

23 Nov 2025 19:02:08
Thomas Frank even looks a bit out of his depth at Tottenham who are quite a big club, but he seemed good at Brentford and you’d think he could have made that step. Not many make the move up successfully, or if they have some success they can’t sustain it because the big clubs just keep on spending. Fair play to Arsenal though they’ve got it right eventually.

We’re another level up altogether in terms of pressure and scrutiny than anywhere other than the Manchester clubs and Bayern, Barca, Real, and PSG. Could maybe throw Inter in there as well. Be interesting to see where we go next.

{Ed001's Note - Frank seemed good? He played terrible, thuggish football, all about time wasting, 'tactical' fouls and diving. His play was based around defending deep and hoping for set pieces. I can't believe they appointed him, he is the most un-Spurs like manager I can remember. He is a worse version of Allardyce.}

23 Nov 2025 19:12:18
I have to agree on frank ed1 as the most un spurs manager I think I've ever seen. They dreadful 2day, like a division 3 team playing arsenal.

23 Nov 2025 20:17:49
Spurs are wannabes, they aren’t a big club.

Unsurprising but still pitiful to see Real Madrid’s “tribute”. They really do lack class.

23 Nov 2025 20:21:48
A good coach or manager in the sense he helped keep them in the mid table positions with limited resources. Doesn’t mean they played good football though, or he was suited to spurs.

{Ed001's Note - I am not sure he was good, I think their recruitment was the key to it.}

24 Nov 2025 12:39:29
If a manager isn't seeing what is happening after so many defeats its a worry, we play no risk side to side boring football, it rivals Rodgers when he got sack, we have so much talent going forward and he is stifling it, 3 at the Back is our best option, Grav sweeping, 2 uptop, Wirtz doing as he likes behind, play wingbacks as we have fullbacks who are best equipped to play wing back anyway and let Slob an Mac run midfield, i don't get why it is so difficult to see.

24 Nov 2025 13:20:35
It seems a no brainer that we need to Utilise what we have. Wirtz can hold the key playing behind 2 Strikers, Isak could use some help up top and Ekitike simply needs to start. 4-4-2 diamond midfield would suit us well and Salah and Gakpo in our regular formation are not providing for us.

24 Nov 2025 19:26:01
If you’re looking for a former player as an assistant - James Milner is your man.

Brilliant pro, from young breakout teenager to multiple premier league titles, England caps, positional versatility and champions league titles.

He knows the modern game inside out and what it takes for players to make it. He’s a model pro. He can relate to all players.

23 Nov 2025 11:09:20
Hello all, I’ve been informed that Liverpool’s hierarchy are in a bit of no man’s land with Arne Slot. Internally, they still believe they’ve got the best manager on the market, but there’s also a growing acceptance that Slot maybe didn’t have the right kind of personality or leadership presence to navigate something as tragic and destabilising as Jota’s death, unlike his predecessor (though very few would’ve handled it any better) .

Senior figures at the club are hoping Slot can pull the team out of this blip, but there’s a real concern that he may be starting to lose parts of the dressing room. At the same time, they also feel that any manager they could bring in mid-project would be a downgrade, leaving them stuck between backing Slot and fearing the slide could worsen.

23 Nov 2025 12:39:25
I think I agree with them.

23 Nov 2025 12:44:33
Using the death of Jota as an excuse doesn't cut with me n a lot of others . we've all lost ppl, in the space of 18 months iv lost a sibling, 2 in-laws n a very close friend , yea its heartbreaking but we carry on n get on with everyday life, what is getting served up by the management n players is nothing short of disgraceful.

whatever the reason, eg entitlement, manager, players etc . you don't go from Champions ( while also improving the squad with 400 mill of top quality ) to also ransom while playing dreadful football n getting outplayed in almost every game.

23 Nov 2025 12:56:36
A growing acceptance that Slot maybe didn’t have the right kind of personality or leadership presence to navigate adversity and the need to be dynamic and adapt, i would say.

This is the issue - he is a good coach, no doubt, but is he a leader of men. Can he walk through the storm, or is he more interested in becoming the second coming of Pep and gadding off to ibeefa to large it?

23 Nov 2025 13:09:10
I'm sorry but using the death of Jota has to stop even if it's only out of respect to him.

23 Nov 2025 13:13:07
I don’t doubt that his personality was clearly not the right one to deal with this, there’s a serious lack of the bit between the teeth and siege mentality that should be present during this time.

However, it’s not that his approach is the wrong one for this crisis, it’s the wrong one full stop. The training is insufficient, the tactics are irreconcilably stupid, the attitude lax and arrogant, the resilience obliterated, the selections dumbfounding.

The man and his coaches do not believe in earning the right to play, it’s as simple as that. Every problem we are suffering can be traced back to this.

23 Nov 2025 13:24:18
We did say that we wanted a more dispassionate, tactical man at the helm in order to win the big ones. We got that last season and it yielded no20.

The challenge now is the opposite. We have become the softest team in the league. They are being outworked and outmuscled by every team in the PL and cannot recover from setbacks at all.

The biggest issue right now is the fragile mentality and that it starts to crystalise into culture. I am not convinced Slot or his coaching team have big enough personalities to tackle that!

23 Nov 2025 13:27:23
Can’t really use Jotas death as an excuse sorry.
The tactics have changed and that’s nothing to do with it.
None of the new players (bar ekitike) have been playing well or fit in and they never knew Jota.
Certain players have clearly not been playing well at all and if Jotas death is the reason they can’t run, pass or play football properly then they need to get a grip sorry.


Sorry to be unkind but it’s beyond silly.
I really believe the club and players dealt with the tragedy brilliantly in the summer but seeing it used as an excuse for all the issues is leaving me uneasy now.

23 Nov 2025 15:01:14
I'm waiting on Carra before I believe anything posted. No disrespect to anyone else, it's just Carra's information seems to be most accurate in my view.

23 Nov 2025 15:18:09
There seems to be a lot of people repeating the mantra that we’ve improved the squad by investing £400m.
We certainly invested £400m but I dispute the “improved the squad” comment. I question how much input Slot had with the transfers and how much was orchestrated by Hughes.

Wirtz heralded as a an “opportunistic signing” has just imbalanced the squad and he can’t find a place in the team.
Isak signed with no pre-season and immediately after we’d just signed Ekitike. Another stupid move which just disrupted the team. It could have waited until January.
Kerkez - great going forward, can’t defend.
Frimpong - great going forward, can’t defend.
Virgil getting older. Konate head turned.

We really needed defenders. Not £150m strikers who aren’t match fit and £116m attacking midfielders who don’t fit the tactical set up.
The move we should have made -.

23 Nov 2025 15:23:08
Totally agree Ron. The defence should have been fixed. I also think he just didn’t adapt to changing tactics, and comes across as stubborn, not unlike the current Manchester Utd manager. Those who evolve survive….

23 Nov 2025 15:38:27
Hi Ron, I disagree. Ekitike is an upgrade on Nunez and I would say Isak is an upgrade on Jota. As for Wirtz I’d have bitten your hand for him over Diaz. So yeah straight away that’s an improvement of the squad. The player we haven’t replaced and improved on is Trent, but I firmly believe Trent in this woeful Slot set-up wouldn’t change anything.

Everything goes back to Slot for our poor performances. Yeah we needed another CB and I can’t really fault the club for the Guehi scenario. Yeah we needed a DM but Slot wants a Zubimendi type.

23 Nov 2025 15:51:56
Load of nonsense. Its obvious to anyone Slots tactics, team selections, substitutions, training methods and out right refusal to change are the issue. He won't change and he needs to go now. Using Jotas death is not on. When we dominated Madrid did they stop grieving for that game . No they played a different way, a way they are used to play under Klopp and won. If the board cannot see this they are as much to blame as Slot. He has to go as he won't change. The players are unfit in November, that is nothing short of a disgrace. The tactics used game in game out are a joke and don't work, the team he selects includes Salah who has been atrocious all season has as the soon to leave Konate.

The club refused to let Gomez go to Italy in the summer for defensive cover reasons, then Slot doesn't play him ad RB or CB instead sticking with the awful Konate and putting our most effective midfielder as a RB, shocking management. And if this has anything to do with Jots how are the coaches not using it to motivate. Do it for Diogo, fight for his memory and win for him Slot is out his depth and needs to go, now.

23 Nov 2025 17:21:35
How patronising can one post be?
To imply everyone at the club expected this situation and we should fall in- line as supporters is not on. I know what I'm looking at, and it's no "transition" don't p**s down my back and tell me it's raining!
This team squad is suffering erepuble damage. We are loosing our identity. Transition my Arsenal.

23 Nov 2025 18:54:27
I thought Salah looked a lot better on Saturday.

23 Nov 2025 19:09:36
Salah’s fault for 2 of their goals if you read the bbc article.

23 Nov 2025 19:40:18
I don’t see talking about Jotas death as using it as an excuse.

It 100% had an impact on the players which is understandable, but they are professionals and need to work through it. Just like we all have with our relationships that we have lost along the way.

But I can also see that it takes a certain individual to handle it. Maybe he doesn’t have the leadership to steer them through.

I am very much of the opinion that it has to be motivation. You can’t be woe is me you have to want to win for his memory.

Biggest takeaway for me is after GW5 we had 15 points, after GW12 we have 18. It’s a horrible rut and it needs to change quick. Personally think if we lose 2 of the next three it’s curtains.

23 Nov 2025 20:13:35
Ron . we needed isak, Ekitike n wirtz . we lost jota, nunez n Diaz from the front line . we tried to get Guehi until the very last minute, we got the Italian kid , we needed 2 FBs n got them. all excellent players, your argument makes no sense.

23 Nov 2025 20:26:11
There isn’t just one reason, or excuse, if you are that way inclined. I watched my wife try and decide what sort of orange juice she wanted to buy at the weekend - it took about 30:seconds to de ide whiich I thought was quite a long time.

There is no simple solution to get the team playing well but I’d be careful about what you wish for in terms of getting rid of Slot. I think there is an element of ‘the grass is greener ‘ at the moment.

23 Nov 2025 20:44:49
WDW agreed we've seen what happened with United; certainly headed into uncharted waters. But surely we need to see a change of tack from Slot and so far that's not apparent.

24 Nov 2025 08:57:16
although we spent over 400m we didn't really improve the squad as a whole, we only replaced what was already here with it looks less physical type of players, where we used to have Darwin to help at corners there is no one at 6 foot to help out, In fact the squad looks weaker than it did last year, i really think all the sales hurt us i know it improved the net spend but hurt the playing side,
You can never plan for injuries but there always will be some and i don't think slot gets it as he doesn't trust a whole host of players from the sidelines or is just too stubburn to play Chiesa, Gomez and Endo instead he seems obsessed with an unfit Macca and Isak price tag shouldn't come into it Isak is just nowhere near fit enough, in fact the whole team looks down on fitness.

i don't like sacking managers but Slot must be very close to it, Hopefully the team will catch a break and get back into some form.

24 Nov 2025 09:39:11
I have a suspicion that our success last season was overly reliant on the number of goals scored by Mo Salah and the system inherited from Klopp. So, when Salah's performance drastically declined, and Slot had to change the strategy to accommodate two players with record transfer fees, everything fell apart.

And Slot didn't have an answer, so he kept relying on Salah because that was the only thing he knew. We will see in the next few matches whether Slot truly has the capability of a title-winning coach.

24 Nov 2025 21:04:50
Think we can agree that the club spent close to 450 million to improve the squad and they have made it worse, that's clear, we are leaking soft goals every game, we have no full backs, yes they brought in two wing backs who can't defend and both are too small , Bradley while he will come good, will play 3 games then misses the next 5 games, sure one day the penny will drop with.

with slot and his staff,
While he plays our best and strongest midfielder at right back, then our chances of winning that game are reduced
Slot has to and will go, he has lost the dressing room for sure.

22 Nov 2025 23:05:24
Arne Slot has till New Years.

This is from within apparently.

23 Nov 2025 02:27:01
Within what or who? Another useless supposed ITK.

23 Nov 2025 03:41:37
Be interesting to see how that holds up if we keep losing at the rate that we are.

23 Nov 2025 06:50:58
Surely not. The worst thing in that time is if we win a few games whilst playing the same tactics and the same players as it will then give him till the end of the season. He needs to go now .

23 Nov 2025 08:14:22
He has until new years according to IndyKaila on X. Who, tbf has got quite a lot right recently.

23 Nov 2025 09:09:55
He should’ve gone ages ago to be honest. Not getting top 4 for this club could set us back Years.

23 Nov 2025 09:35:05
How long can we wait because not getting champions league will have a massive impact on finances.

23 Nov 2025 11:50:21
Longthing76, we spent a fortune in the summer and look like spending again in January, if we were to miss CL next season its probably the best time to do it as there's no way we will be spending massively again. If we get Gheui and Semenyo ( appologise for the awful spelling) in January with the returning Leoni we will only need 1 CB next summer and possibly another LB.

My concern is more the effect it will have on the team . To go from champions to a laughing stock in relegation form will be hard to take.

23 Nov 2025 11:54:50
He sounds like a dead man walking. He is faced with adversity and is withering under the pressure. Klopp's had much bigger balls and self-belief.

23 Nov 2025 13:14:36
I know most were concentrating on the match yesterday but i kept an eye on Elliot Anderson he was outstanding this lad is exactly what we need . Forget about wingers getting this lad in is a priority to save our season . YNWA.

23 Nov 2025 20:48:45
@Kim, give it a rest. I get that you think the club should get rid of Slot. I actually agree with some of your concerns but, even so, it doesn’t really matter because we aren’t the ones making the decisions and there’s no guarantee that our opinions are correct anyway as we don’t have the full picture at our disposal and saying the same stuff multiple times day after day isn’t helping.

24 Nov 2025 21:38:04
I did the same albeydered, I wanted to compare Anderson with macca and Anderson was and is a far better player, he would turn our season around as macca is not the player from last season.

22 Nov 2025 19:34:37
Heard from an unreliable source that Jurgen Klopp is on Liverpool’s radar make of it what you will.

22 Nov 2025 19:42:37
If only. It won’t happen nothing has changed for Jurgen. How we miss him.

22 Nov 2025 19:50:32
He is the odds favourite to replace slot atm. iraola second.

22 Nov 2025 19:59:20
Don’t tease us Crabby. Give it 24 hours lol.

22 Nov 2025 19:59:31
Getting my popcorn out for this one.

22 Nov 2025 20:00:47
Don’t see it happening but I will be amazed if Slot isn’t gone this week.

22 Nov 2025 20:36:50
Slot won’t be going anywhere til next year.

22 Nov 2025 20:47:00
Can't go back to an ex, no idea who I'd pick though.

22 Nov 2025 22:09:48
Almost certainly correct, the source is “unreliable”.

23 Nov 2025 00:20:29
Needs to go now.

The midfield is as wobbly as my Nan after a spell on the whisky.

My two cents (sorry I moved to USA 14 years ago) Neither Gakpo nor Diaz ever really established a relationship with Robbo and Kerkez is an up and down full back yet is constantly making inside runs that make no sense.

Salah used to have Hendo overlapping, Trent backing him up, positional sense behind him when the ball was lost. That positional ability no longer exists. Do we create overloads, sort of, but slowly. Then when we inevitably lose the ball we are fooked.

More often than I can remember we are playing balls into the box because we have no other ideas during the build up. When we do get it in we are stationary as we have been watching Virgil and Konate pass the ball to each other.

I don’t understand why our width is not coming from the full backs. We have ball players in the midfield (although I don’t think Mac Allister is anywhere near as good as others), why invert the full backs? They are not even really inverted, more like lost.

Sorry for long post but I see a manager out of his depth. One very mobile defence mid and a switch to a 4-2-3-1, Dom plus another with Witrtz as a 10, would be my move. Ekitike on the left, play a little more balls over the top.

Fudge.

23 Nov 2025 07:48:04
All this nonsense about “we can can’t go back” why can’t we? If Klopp wanted to come back we should be biting his hand off. He’s better than anything out there.

23 Nov 2025 08:19:26
Maybe the lack of viable candidates may help Arne at the moment. Glasner seems bookies favourite after Jurgen, with Iraola not far behind. Both could be excellent but are highly risky, Glasner wouldn’t necessarily gel with the fan base and style may not suit long term, with Iraola it just feels too early. Inzhagi nowhere in the odds, probably really difficult financially amongst other things.

23 Nov 2025 08:51:57
Iraola would be my choice all day long and hopefully the appeal of a big club would force the move. I would love Slot to work and a Prem in his first season was unbelievable. Obviously we never know how much the transfers in and out are down to the manager but my biggest issue is his team selection.

The players look lost out on the pitch and they don’t look happy either. I just don’t see it getting better under Slot and we’ll be relying on CL or an FA Cup.

23 Nov 2025 09:49:12
Nagelsmann

Germany have one game in March before the end of the season.

Just saying :)

23 Nov 2025 12:42:17
Nagelsmann is the German Andre Villas Boas.

Got big jobs because he’s “young” and hasn’t pulled any trees up.

Big gamble, no thanks.

23 Nov 2025 13:37:16
What about xavi ex barcelona manager his football is very much like Louis Enrique plays at PSG won the Spanish league as a player and as manager available would love a crack at the premier . Just a thought!
But i do hope Arne can turn it around soon.
YNWA.

22 Nov 2025 19:15:42
Carra or Ed’s please can you give us an insight into what’s happening behind the scenes? Are we looking to change managers or do the executive team want to stick with slot until the end of the season? Surely heitinga return would or could help the situation a bit.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know of any intent to move Slot on as of yet.}

22 Nov 2025 19:39:22
It can't be long, if we lose say 2 out of the next three I don't see any other outcome.

We are hardly depleted like we were when we had Phillips and Williams at CB so at least there was some logic to the last major downturn we had.

The only downgrade on paper is at RB with trent going, but it shouldn't have this big of an impact. Everywhere else has arguably been improved, definitely on paper

We have spent a lot and don't seem to know our best 11. Slot seems unwilling to change so something has to give. And unfortunately I'd rather Slot go then say some of the players we have brought. Only issue is there doesn't seem to be any change and we won't get out of this by doing the same thing.

22 Nov 2025 20:03:52
Anyone can see the team is on its knees and have lost confidence in the manager, I said a few weeks ago I’ve only seen this twice in 50 years of supporting Liverpool.

Hodgson and Rodger’s.

22 Nov 2025 22:22:42
The cloak of invincibility that Liverpool carried last season has been replaced by a soft - very soft - underbelly. And it has been there since the start of the season.

22 Nov 2025 23:00:45
He needs to go now. Enough is enough - longer this continues the more at risk we are of not even making top 4. Players are so far off it it’s a joke.

22 Nov 2025 23:07:05
A nice bit of plagiarism from the BBC article, Dr Banana.

23 Nov 2025 09:16:52
if no klopp, is benitez still a good manager or has his time gone.

23 Nov 2025 10:50:06
No idea how and why he’s still in position tonight he’s not good enough simple.

22 Nov 2025 19:11:21
Absolutely no chance of Liverpool parting with Slot. End of story. It hasn't even been brought up.

22 Nov 2025 19:18:47
Then we are going to let this crisis seep deeper into our club its beyond ignoring.

22 Nov 2025 19:20:01
Then that's the season done with then. We can all be behind the manager if we see progress and the players trying but come on it's been dross. Villa and Madrid made us think we are turning a corner but today was awful.

22 Nov 2025 19:21:05
Appreciate the info robbo have to say though that does not fill me with joy as these cracks have been showing not just this season in particular but almost since January last year where is the point I could confidently say performances started dropping despite results.

So with knowing the information u have provided in the past whether correct or not. I really do hope this not to be true because that would mean there is incompetence on a higher level than just the head coach. Questions should always be being asked when it comes to a team of liverpools size, whether it's when a game is lost or drawn or even when it's a scrappy win the questions of why and how did that happen should never be overlooked.

Keep the posts up and this all just my opinion but I do really hope you are wrong on this one much love x.

22 Nov 2025 19:36:17
Leagues over after todays results anyway. As for the cracks showing since last January, the league was basically over by then of course feet were going to be taken off pedals.

22 Nov 2025 19:48:58
I can say for certainty that his position is being studied acutely. It's a money business after all and he is a working asset. He's valuable if successful and so is the club. They'll not want downward trajectory after being top dog and spending all time monies on every aspect of the club. They're clever and will act accordingly.

22 Nov 2025 20:00:35
I agree it was pretty much done but the cracks were there and that's the problem xx.

22 Nov 2025 20:01:18
The league was over weeks ago. The question is now how realistic is top four?

RobboLFC. In that case the owners will have the best team in the championship next season, that's how bad we are playing right now. No energy, no passion no fight. I can assure you Slot is on borrowed time and will be gone if not before the next game certainly after the next awfulness, which will be next week.

Doesn’t surprise me. Cowards will wait until the fans push him out making supporters look like the bad guys.

I would imagine once the CL spots start to look almost out of touch then we might see a change.

I have no doubt at all slot will go. Everyone saying ‘that’s not how FSG operate’ neither was spending 400 million. They’re not stupid. Slot won’t see the January window, huge money spent on an already fantastic squad. Slots days are numbered it can’t be any other way.

Not a chance of top four we are on Fulham form at best. Slot has taken us from believers to shambles in 12 games.
