I’m sure Carra and others have posted this much earlier but I’ve also heard Slot knows he’s gone.
I don’t know how that thinking plays out but for the players I don’t think they can engage anymore. Season is a write off.

Jurgen is a leader, a figurehead, a motivator, and one of the great football brains. He commands respect.
Slot is a bloke from Holland who knows a bit about football.

Looking at past Liverpool managers.
Some were charismatic. Shanks and Jurgen.
Others maybe not so much, Kenny and Bob.
But for all these men, players would run through a brick wall for them.
Does Slott inspire the current players?

Kenny not charismatic?

All very shrewd, knew what to say and when. Also very driven and understood what it meant to be our manager. Tactically all very very good, and knew what type of football was needed to succeed in the era in which it was played.

Reports in the media tonight are that Slot is being given another season. If that's true, then next season will be a relegation battle.

Impossible, VV. The ownership cannot be that stupid.

@FSW, Jurgen was / is messianic and a brilliant motivator but with the best will in the world he isn't one of the great football brains. There are few anywhere near as good as he is in terms of genuinely passionate motivation but there are better football thinkers.

Can you justify that statement, West Derby, specifically that Klopp isn't one of football's great thinkers, or is it just more waffle?

Bristol Red,
If you read the post I wrote, maybe not as charismatic as Shanks and Jurgen. I was not being critical. My point being, they were all incredible managers in different ways. They inspired players. I don't believe Slot does.
