The club is a business at the end of the day and the bosses are not going to come out and say the manager we have has let us down this season so we want to make a change.
Your original first choice is now available and wants the job. You also have an upcoming top manager who's available on a free.
Your current manager is also not happy and wants to return home. I suspect Slot will be here until the end of the season, then the club will do a review. Meanwhile Ajax or the Netherlands will come in and we will give permission to talk. Slot will go and then we will go for Alonso.

But the wanting to return home thing is only a thing on here. You never hear it mentioned anywhere else. As far as anyone who doesn't use this site is concerned, he's perfectly happy in Liverpool and doesn't miss Holland at all.
So, in that instance, no one is going to leave Liverpool to take either of them jobs. They will have to sack him. It will not be wrapped up in a nice little bow for them.

@Florian, he obviously would prefer to be in the Netherlands. He flies home at every possible opportunity rather than training the players. If he really wanted to be here, he would move his family over and integrate with the city rather than living next to Manchester Airport.

That's not what I'm saying, Shipley. People are suggesting the club will make it look like they've simply not stood in his way, but that wouldn't make sense to the 99.99% of LFC fans that don't use this site. They'd know that no one would ever willingly leave the L'pool hotseat for either of those two jobs.

I want him gone just so you leave the site. HTH *sad emoji goes there*

When he goes I want the news to run Slot Sacked! None of this mutual consent crap, I want whoever comes next to know, if you don't buy into us, you're gone, even if you did win the league. Let's nail our colours to the mast now!
{Ed025's Note - thats one point of view John..

Lets hope Xabi has no college going kids back in Spain.

Florian, I remember someone called you a troll, and I thought nah... but 9 out of 10 of your posts is about backing Slot in everything he does, it's like you've got some sort of vested interest in him... very very odd behaviour. ?
16 Apr 2026 01:29:51
Not backing him, Strom. Just saying they are gonna have to sack him.

I don't buy the "Slot is too homesick to function" narrative. He's a grown man, it's 90 minutes on a plane back to the Netherlands, that's a lot quicker than the bus journey to most of our away games. His kids are 18/19 so it's not like he's missing them grow up. Not to mention the "homesick Slot" rumours cropped up around the same time we went on an extremely poor run of form, when fans started calling for his head, it seemed to be used as some sort of excuse for sympathy by the Slot-in crowd. The timing is a little too convenient for me.
I do however, have absolutely no doubt that the club will be willing to offer a mutual parting of ways as a professional courtesy for winning the league last year, and no doubt a desire to return home would be seen as the perfect excuse to cover up what we all know is a sacking. And a year from now when Slot's doing a podcast somewhere and is asked about why he "left" Liverpool, he certainly won't have the stones to admit that he was out of his depth and the club felt it was best that walk away.
Florian you'll really say anything for the sake of an argument, I'd say you intentionally rub cats the wrong way and all, tail to head, just to see if you get a reaction.

FSG have no issue sacking managers.
They sacked King Kenny and replaced him with the Brodg. That didn't make sense to me.
They're not trying to explain things to the fans. If he's to be sacked, then they'll sack him. Simple as.
If his agent wants to preserve his rep, then FSG might decide to announce it as mutual agreement.

Seriously Ed? ah c'mon its all a bit of craic.People are far too serious its only football for christs sake.You of all people should see that, your not against a wind up yourself.
{Ed025's Note - its just a bit over the top mate, some posters are getting nasty because of the wind up, its fine in moderation and im not against a good craic as you know but i think you are rocking too many boats..

It's not arguing, Chewy, it's discussing. Different points of view are what a forum is meant to be about. Just think the homesick thing is still "hearsay". People believing what they want to believe.
A bloke going home to see d wife and kids doesn't prove that he's homesick, it's something he kinda has to do. Until we hear from him on the matter, it's just guesswork by fans dying to see the back of him. ?

Florian, you're not on a wind up.winds ups are funny, I don't mind you sticking up for him but every post to every poster is you defending your hero.a few others will say its not all slot fault.I think the only person you're winding up is yourself, think you need to chat about other things
