Just been talking to a lad I know who is close to one of the coaches in the Liverpool youth set up. He's just told me Slot will not be sacked before the end of the season and that is now the absolute official position of the board regardless of how bad the displays and results are. They still think he can get CL football next season one way or another and if he does there is a good chance he will be offered a new contract.
This is all you will get out of the club. They are adamant Slot is he right man for the job long term and he is going no where. This is devastating to hear. He's destroying the team one game at a time. Why do the powers in charge think he's doing a good job?
04 Apr 2026 16:06:29
Funny we always seem to have a mate who knows someone who works at the club, strange ain't it. ? ? ?
04 Apr 2026 16:06:41
No decisions have been made, until decisions are made at the end of the season, the official position is to back the manager.
04 Apr 2026 16:18:37
If this is correct, then I will not be watching or supporting the club based on that. I certainly don't feel I will be the only one, but, sorry, I cannot support this when it's glaring to see Slot is not the man.
04 Apr 2026 16:19:20
There's absolutely not a hope in hell they'll offer Slot a new contract.
04 Apr 2026 16:22:05
I can well believe it. I never want a coach to be sacked as it means the team is failing, but I worry things won't get better with this set up off the pitch, and I include the directors in that.
Equally, I don't think this group of players care enough, or fight enough when it gets tough. I also think Arne struggles to lift them. It's a bad place to be.
04 Apr 2026 16:22:09
I cannot believe this. I won't believe it. Appreciate the share, but regardless of management, we are still owned by the same group that removed others performing better than this. The only reason he hasn't been sacked already is last year's title.
04 Apr 2026 16:23:10
Literally no way this is true.
04 Apr 2026 16:24:06
I've given up watching and hoping for some positive good play this season. Looks like next season is a write off as well, if we're sticking with this clown!
04 Apr 2026 16:39:52
That's not true.
04 Apr 2026 16:48:52
FSG won't be happy once their prized asset loses its value. Utter madness keeping the Slot rot at the club.
04 Apr 2026 17:01:59
Totally agree, or why did they halt new contract talks in November last year.
FSG are not stupid, they know Alonso will not hang around forever, so, like in all businesses, they have made plans a while ago. They are not going to come out and say Slot is leaving in the summer as that would undermine him and leave him no authority over the players.
04 Apr 2026 17:04:06
Good for the owners. They've destroyed the club this season too.
04 Apr 2026 17:04:54
What's happening now is very similar to the end of David Brents' reign.
Alonso is coming.
04 Apr 2026 17:07:28
Way to go, Bazz - almost like you came up with YNWA yourself. ?
04 Apr 2026 17:22:50
???? Another itk. ?

Thing is, to get Champions League you have to start winning games. How's that worked out over the last 4 games? PSG are going to wipe the floor with us.
04 Apr 2026 17:52:34
Travelling over from Ireland next weekend for the Fulham game, and I've never ever felt like I've wasted money like I do right now. The "Spice Boys" are back.
04 Apr 2026 18:01:49
It's funny how mates at the club always back the position that posters have taken for most of the season.
Depressed? You'll find a mate at the club to back your position.
Optimistic? You'll find a mate at the club to back your position.
IKFA? You'll find a mate at the club to back your position.
04 Apr 2026 19:00:41
Tin foil hat moment. Could they be looking to sell the club and don't want Slot's termination fee on the books pre sale?
I highly doubt it, but there is no reason to keep this man in a job.
04 Apr 2026 19:29:56
Thing is, if he was going to be sacked, it would have been straight after the match. The fact it's not happened suggests that Slot is here for the rest of the season come hell or high water. Which means we are screwed.
04 Apr 2026 19:57:32
It's too late for April Fools.
I can believe he won't get sacked before the end of the season, but the club surely can't be looking to renew his contract given the poor results, form, and clear loss of support from the fans.
It's clear that he has lost the dressing room too, but a decision was needed much earlier, and fear it's too late to get anything from this season.
04 Apr 2026 20:22:07
Fully believe Slot will be our coach still next season. Genuinely can't believe it, but if you don't sack a Liverpool coach after losing at Anfield 3-0 to Palace, 3-0 to Forest and 4-1 to PSV, you're never going to get a better time to sack him.
My money is on him eventually being removed when things don't improve significantly next season, around November time, a year too late.
04 Apr 2026 20:27:59
That's what I think too, Wirtz Nightmare, by which time Alonso won't be available and we then make a panic appointment. And, question to the "there's loads left to play for" crowd. Is there still loads to play for? Cause, from here it looks like season is well and truly over.
04 Apr 2026 21:13:37
Agree VV, but I'm not too worried about Alonso, never been 100% sold on him and there could still be some other interesting options out there, potentially Hoeness and Nagelsmann. Alonso himself may still be an option anyway, as have a feeling City may go for Maresca if Pep goes.
My main issue is, I haven't just totally lost any excitement about upcoming Liverpool games, I've begun to actively dread them.
In 33 years of watching Liverpool, even including the dark Hodgson days, I've never felt so despondent about Liverpool Football Club. And I'd come to terms with this for the remainder of this season but the thought it will carry on into next season too is down-right demoralising. It's absolutely gutless from Hughes, Edwards & FSG.
05 Apr 2026 00:59:56
To be fair, if and when FSG make strategic decisions about the future of its nullified billion asset, the first people they are likely to tell are the kids who coach the Youth squad. This is a rumours site.
