Moves are being made behind the scenes, I don't know the specifics but I do know it's the end of Slot.
I believe it will be Alonso or Hoeness.
09 May 2026 16:53:32
Is this today or in the summer, I'm confused?
09 May 2026 16:53:37
Sack all 3 of them. They're driving our Club off a cliff.
Disgrace, it's taken this long, absolutely disgusting.
09 May 2026 16:53:54
Slot now making excuses about the booing too. It's so funny. Like a really bad soap opera. Can he not just admit the team were awful.
09 May 2026 16:57:46
Thank you, Fields, do you mean he's gone at the end of the season or could we possibly expect someone else in the dugout against Villa Friday?
09 May 2026 17:00:05
Cheers, TheFields.
09 May 2026 17:01:09
Thx Fields.
Glad to hear from you.
Surely they can't risk the last game at Anfield being anything other than positive?! They can't risk a potential toxic atmosphere.
Mo and Robbos last game before a send off ...
I assume suits will all be attending too ...
Just seems unnecessary if he was going at end of season anyway.
09 May 2026 17:04:31
Let's hope it's immediate, we need 1 win.
09 May 2026 17:07:52
Please tell me it will be sooner rather than later...
09 May 2026 17:07:55
Thanks be to God.
09 May 2026 17:19:40
Amen to that, SG. ? Thanks a million, Thefields, hopefully we will all be put out of our misery really soon. The Town not doing well at all, SG, but we will keep the faith, brother. ?
09 May 2026 17:22:48
Edwards has a face to save, since he has been running the show. The title bought them all a lot of credit, whilst this season has diminished some of that, largely because not one signing has proven themselves worthy as yet and Isak looks like a misfit.
The next phase is as important as it was when Jurgen joined. FSG: who is chosen as manager (longer term tenure in mind), which players are signed and who follows Edwards and Hughes when they leave.
09 May 2026 17:34:11
Cheers, worried the replacements will be more of the same though.
Alonso plays more like Slot and both are new to the Premier League.
09 May 2026 17:35:16
Keep the faith is right, Bazza! It's only a blip!!!!. ??
09 May 2026 17:36:02
You're on the money, FSW.
09 May 2026 17:50:43
The more I think about it, the more I am leaning towards Hoeness. It's hard cause I love Alonso, and it would be like a homecoming. But my head is saying Hoeness, as from what I have heard, he is more like Klopp, and we need to return to the chaos football.
09 May 2026 17:56:21
Ron, Alonso in no way plays like Slot. The only argument you can make is that both strive to play possession-based football. Alonso plays high pressing, tactical driven, and overloading on the wide. I'm not saying Alonso will be the second coming, but don't talk crap.
09 May 2026 18:08:25
By the time we start next season, who in the squad would have ever even played Klopp-like chaos football, though? Does it even suit these players?
09 May 2026 18:15:18
Cheers, Thefields. Long overdue.
09 May 2026 18:20:56
It'll suit them alright, FM. Professional players want to play at the highest levels, the biggest games, they want the trophies. To get that, they need to be fit and firing and in a cohesive team and club. They'll welcome it with open arms. Just look at the statement Salah made recently. He no more wants this rubbish than any of the rest of us.
09 May 2026 18:27:41
Ron, I think the fact that Alonso was actually one of the top midfielders in the Premier League for 5 years might just count towards experience. Claiming he's "new to the league" is pretty wild.
09 May 2026 18:30:07
Good owners would look at the entire leadership of LFC. Is this just a Slot problem, or should more be given their marching orders?
09 May 2026 18:34:14
Threw away a whole season for nothing. He should have been gone after the United loss at Anfield. Salah will go score 25 for someone else next season.
09 May 2026 18:35:32
17 years out of the Premier League counts as new to me, especially as he has never coached or managed in the Premier League.
Even Slot's Liverpool outplayed his Madrid.
09 May 2026 18:39:42
They are playing at the highest level, Shanks, in the biggest games. The point is, I've heard it said multiple times here about the style and the players suiting styles. Are we just assuming Klopp-like chaos football suits these because we love Jurgen and his football, and it worked for him here.
Just saying, nearly everyone that played it under Jurgen will be gone from this summer, and some, like Gravenberch, it didn't seem to suit at all. I think we will have to bring in players suited to that style because Wirtz, Hugo, Isak, etc. certainly aren't.
09 May 2026 18:48:12
If I had to choose, I'd go for Hoeness, but both are a gamble lad's.
09 May 2026 18:48:13
Iraola gets given players and he coaches them to fit his system (of aggressive attacking football).
09 May 2026 19:02:53
Alonso is strict on professionalism, diet, body fat levels, preventative gym work, recovery routines, he demands full intensity in training drills. He demands at a minimum peak fitness, recovery and strength. (As with Klopp, missing with Slot. We haven’t seen the full potential of an Alonso team, but we know at BL they bought into it, and won the league unbeaten. As the RM egos threw their toys out the pram for being asked to be professional and work hard on and off the pitch, Alonso had no chance, that's RM's loss.
Alonso played in the prem for 5 years, has had 6 months watching the current prem, he loves the club, the city, he understands the club, the fans, the city, he will give and demand 100%………as a CV for the next a Liverpool manager? It has to be.
09 May 2026 19:13:59
I'd go for Alonso every day myself, Eddie. I'm led to believe Hoeness plays early Jurgen style of football. We haven't played that since the 21-22 season, so it's of no advantage in terms of him getting the job with this current squad as far as I'm concerned.
Xabi has the much better managerial career, so for me, if it's a choice of the 2, it's Xabi all day long.
09 May 2026 19:16:49
Well said, Eddie74. 100% facts.
Florian, I agree, I've been making that point for a while. Currently Dom and Kerkez are the only 2 really capable of that intense style of football. That could change if we move for the right targets this summer, but for now I have concerns.
Ron, tell me, how is anybody going to get the likes of Isak, Ekitike or Frimpong to play heavy metal football when they can't even stay fit playing reggaeball?
09 May 2026 19:41:25
I'd add Bradley to that, Chewy (if he could ever stay fit) Virg maybe, but he wouldnt be able to hold a line on the halfway line anymore like he could when he was an absolute flyer.
We dont know yet about Leoni/Jaquet, but everyone else? Not so sure. Klopp came into people like Hendo, Millie, Lallana, Firmino, Moreno, Clyne. People way more suited to that style.
09 May 2026 20:19:52
Well, Alonso's teams play a similar style to Slotball.
I'm hoping for a more entertaining style than more Slotball with fitter players.
09 May 2026 20:48:17
By your logic, Ron, we should look at PSV manager then. They completely demolished and outplayed us at Anfield. Or pretty much most of the PL clubs' managers, as we've been outplayed a lot of times this season.
09 May 2026 21:13:48
That's not my logic. My logic is I want a change of football style.
I don't want slow ponderous tippy-tappy football.
I want entertaining attacking football.
Which is why I have no enthusiasm for Alonso as manager. He's more of the same and most fans are fed up of it.
09 May 2026 21:44:39
Leverkeusen did not play tips tappy football. That comment is a pile of steaming horseSlot.
09 May 2026 21:54:00
For those asking, I've not got a scooby about when it's going to happen. I can't see it being before Villa tho.
09 May 2026 21:58:52
We need to stop pining after Klopp and preferring a potential manager because he's more like Klopp.
Klopp is gone. Get over it. Klopp football is gone. Get over it.
Whoever joins next, they will not be Klopp. They will not be anything like Klopp and the team won't play like Klopp's teams did.
Klopp is a unicorn, he's unique. We will never have another manager like him, but that doesn't mean we can't be successful.
I think a lot of the angst I'm seeing is just because people miss Klopp. He's gone, guys, and he's not coming back. You'd better get used to it.
09 May 2026 22:27:22
StEtienneAmen, believe what you want mate, but Alonso does not play aggressive attacking football. He plays slow, patient build-up football - like Slot.
Plus, the Bundesliga is not quite as intense as the Premier League.
There is more time on the ball and more space.
This suits slow build-up technical football, but the Premier League is not like that. Wirtz has struggled to get the pace of the Premier League, it's physically intense.
09 May 2026 22:35:41
Agreed, SAaJ.
