I follow KopTalk on YouTube and an interestingly titled video popped up on my feed so I gave it a watch. According to Dunc, a source who has given him reliable information in the past has tipped him off that Slot and his agent have been summoned to a high level meeting by the club for 10:30 on Friday. No other details were given.
Provided this is true, this can realistically mean one of three things:
A) The club will inform him that they are not offering him a new contract and they plan to terminate his existing contract at the end of the season.
B) The club will inform him that they are not offering him a new contract and they will terminate his contract at the international break.
C) The club wish to open negotiations over a new contract.
What it almost certainly means is that we are stuck with him until the international break. There will be no immediate firing after Galatasaray but I think most of us already suspected that.

Don't listen to that guy, he's absolutely full of air.
17 Mar 2026 20:50:40
I'm gone past defending him, and I realise he's more than likely gone in the summer. But I have to say I'm always amazed at phrases like we're stuck with him. The bloke has won two leagues and a cup in the previous three seasons, and got to another final, but lost. ?
17 Mar 2026 20:54:23
A bit like most of the "ITK" on here then! Dunc has a proven track record of providing decent info for years, pal.
17 Mar 2026 20:54:47
You'd be better off listening to a random window cleaner.
17 Mar 2026 20:57:04
Option C incoming.
17 Mar 2026 21:04:05
Florian, who cares what he achieved in Dutch football? Every Dutch manager who comes to England ends up stinking and his achievements at Feyenoord are of no relevance to us. I don't think "stuck with him" is below the belt at all seeing as his tactics and coaching (or more pertinently lack of) are the main reasons we will miss out on the Champions League places this year.
17 Mar 2026 21:55:28
I couldn't care less what he's done in previous seasons. I care what he's doing in the present, and he's done/doing zilch.
17 Mar 2026 22:37:19
Expecting the meeting to get cancelled for some unforeseen scenario.
Sorry, I don't believe Dunk has any sources.
17 Mar 2026 22:53:29
Florian says he's given up defending the bloke, then tries to defend him! Wow. Ha ha.
18 Mar 2026 07:26:35
Stopped watching lop talk after a few videos, the bloke is a proper

Babbity, he said two leagues, including the Premier League. Maybe you don't care about what he did in Holland, but he did win the Prem.
18 Mar 2026 08:34:09
I find it hard to not support Slot. He helped the team win us the Premier League last season, before Easter.
That showed me if you give him the right tools he is capable of doing a good job. And before the haters bring out the "but his football is s***" statement. What Premier League team is playing attacking, free flowing football?
I am old and have been watching The Reds through the Keegan, Hughes, Dalglish, Souness, Rush and Molby, Barnes and Beardsley good times. Through the something is missing 90s, the getting nearer noughties to finally Klopp's got me believing bums off seats era.
Klopp would have won us the title last season if he didn't leave. I honestly believe that, but not as head coach.
This season has been a hard watch, but I blame the two who are making the decisions and Slot isn't one of them, and when the players know that the coach is just a coach and start organising meetings themselves to fix things, the writing is on the wall.
Jota dying is not an excuse, it was a sad interruption to the season and also a main part of our pressing forward line disappearing.
I know that if we give Slot the right tools and a bit of time he can win us the league again. Why? Because he has proved he can.
I don't like the way he is being singled out for the decline of Salah and Virgil. He said at the start of the season he was left short of what he was promised, but it was still good enough to challenge, and he wasn't to know that two of his defenders and the most expensive signing would miss most of the season.
He does make mistakes, and his failure to trust certain young players and Chiesa to replace underperforming players is one of them. The constant moving positions of his best performing players from match to match is another.
FSG will make the right decision for themselves; if Slot goes, so should Hughes and Edwards.
I was brought up believing in continuity: if it works, keep it. Slot's coaching has won us the league. Hughes' direction hasn't.
18 Mar 2026 08:56:46
We always hear the 'if Slot had his way' or 'the new signings were not his choice'. Yet Wirtz has come out and said it was Slot who convinced him to join with his Slot Vision of football.
Also, correct me if i'm wrong Ed001 but you told us Slot really wanted Isak to be signed.
So our two biggest acquisitions of the summer were Slots choices.
{Ed001's Note - that is correct mate.}
18 Mar 2026 09:45:36
Where did I say Slot didn't want the signings he got? I said there were players he asked for that he didn't get.
Let's judge Isak and Wirtz when they start playing together after an undisturbed pre-season.
You want him gone, fine, but you don't have to bring other people's opinions to argue against my post.
I said he has got a lot of things wrong. I didn't mention the signings the club made. Have a nice day.
18 Mar 2026 10:00:46
Its true, Brentford, Bournemouth, Leeds, Sunderland, and Man City are playing decent football, even Wolves are playing decent football.
So unfair to tar every team with the same brush, mate.
The worst football to watch: Arsenal, Liverpool.
18 Mar 2026 10:24:21
@Babbity, Option 4, the club agree to let him work out his contract for the 26/27 season.
18 Mar 2026 10:47:53
I do not agree. They play to their strengths, but what is decent football.
We have played some good games this season, but not consistently.
The players we pay to put the ball in the net are not taking their chances, or are not available. And we are losing points at the end of the games because we are short in defense, availability, lack of trust, not enough heart. I don't know, but Slot has tried everything at his disposal and it hasn't worked.
I am just saying you need the players on board, and when you are relying on players who see their future away from the club, you are under pressure to win every game.
Let's get one thing straight, I don't agree with everything he has done. I still think with the players on form he can still win things for us.
18 Mar 2026 11:33:47
MynameisB, if the players are getting so many days off, then Slot clearly hasn't tried everything at his disposal.
18 Mar 2026 11:34:10
Brentford, Bournemouth, Leeds, Sunderland, City, and Wolves are playing good football?! Wolves are playing better than they did before, but to say they are playing objectively 'good football'? Brentford? Bournemouth can be great to watch at times, but more often than not when I watch them they are participating in 0-0 and 1-1 draws. Sunderland have tailed off, and were knocked out by Port Vale in the FA Cup.
City blow hot and cold, have been absolutely tepid in several games recently, and are extremely reliant on Haaland for goals. Brentford and Sunderland were recently comfortably beaten by Brighton, whom we have had no problems outplaying this season.
Are you certain you have been watching those teams consistently? I admit that I haven't, but when I have, none of these teams are incredibly impressive to me.
18 Mar 2026 13:06:31
When I see the value Eze brings vs Wirtz, what a load of wasted $ we spent on Wirtz.
18 Mar 2026 14:00:32
Now we want players to play 3 times a week and train every day? Maybe the odd day off when we are not playing 3 games a week or on international duty is one of the things he's tried.
18 Mar 2026 16:56:47
The only difference between Dunc and the clown who does the Anfield Agenda is Dunc occasionally speaks sense. If either of them is your source, you may as well go on X and take the heathens on there as gospel.
{Ed001's Note - what's Anfield Agenda? I have never heard of that.}
18 Mar 2026 18:27:23
Some absolute weapon who does news, rumours and match coverage on youtube Ed1. Be glad you don't know who he is ?
{Ed001's Note - ah ok. I will not bother if I ever do see him.}
18 Mar 2026 19:42:19
He's actually not afraid to say his opinions and can back them up. He is a passionate fan and isn't afraid to speak out on how bad the football currently is. AA is worth a watch.
18 Mar 2026 23:27:43
AA is a toxic platform, like aftv the guy has mental health issues starts crying on live stream.
19 Mar 2026 06:33:10
Option 5. As a senior figure at the club, he has been asked to attend the meeting about something totally different. Or option 6. There is no meeting and this is clickbait nonsense.
19 Mar 2026 12:25:40
Both those channels are awful sources of news.
Koptalk has been known to be a total liar for years.
Anfield agenda is just a random fan who makes rubbish up and cries on his live streams, he's basically the mark goldridge of LFC fans
