Ornstein reporting we are sticking with Slot next season even if we don't qualify for the UCL.
Please, please tell me this is Bs!!

Read the posts below about this. I will always love LFC, but if Slots in charge next season, I will take a break from football until he has moved on.

BS of the highest order. They will 'quietly' part ways at the end of the season. Why they're persisting til the season's end is a mystery - perhaps concerned about giving a club/footballing legend a chance to audition for the job.

Similar things were said about Rodgers before he was sacked.
If they were 'sticking' with Slot they'd offer him a contract extension.
They're not.

Think to yourself, why would Ornstein even write such a non-story?

I believe they don't want an Ole/Carrick situation; that's why no interim. They already have a replacement in mind, and don't want the complication of an interim doing well and then having the pressure to either keep them or replace.

Iraola.

Chewy's right, what did it achieve stating Slot was staying, they could have kept quiet and left it, what difference would it make.

Ornstein has been briefed to say that so that Slot can leave with reputation intact and 'on his terms' etc., although behind the scenes we know the real reason - this is just a gentleman's agreement to make it look like he isn't sacked and the club don't make rash decisions etc.
He will be gone at end of the season.
Above just my opinion of course.

Jari Iraola's going back to Spain, mate. It's been confirmed he's leaving at the end of the season, and Athletic Bilbao are definitely the strongest candidate for his next destination. We haven't even been mentioned as a possibility in reports.

Tell you what. We've got a massive rebuild on our hands in summer, us.

The club have to protect their asset and it doesn't serve anyone to undermine the coach by not publicly backing him with crucial games ahead. Back the manager, get to end of the season and then part ways. If the club sack Slot or part ways in summer and bring in Alonso, nobody is going to complain and say why did you say he was safe! Ornstein is a club man and needs to protect his relationship with the club because that's his bread and butter, so take what he says with a pinch of salt.

Another fat wallet bookmark, Slot will be gone.

If we sack Slot now we would probably have to pay some ridiculous amount of undeserved compensation. Maybe some sort of compromise was agreed - with Slot agreeing to a 'mutual consent' thing at the end of the season on a reduced pay out? Not saying this is what happened, I have no knowledge of, at this stage, interest, it's just me speculating.
