Liverpool Transfer Rumours

23 May 2026 13:11:55.
The end of season review will take place within the next 2 weeks. I am not privy to the actual date, just that it will be in that period. Things will become more clearer then if Slot goes or stays. Currently, I'm still led to believe he is leaving.

This is from a rep of The STC.

Talk of a Reijnen being appointed is off the mark, they are considering it. Slot has sounded him out about it but nothing is confirmed.

23 May 2026 14:10:18
I don't see the need for an end of season review, or have they not watched any of the games all season? What reason could they have to keep him?

23 May 2026 14:10:48
So, Fields, may I ask why everyone says he's staying? Every reporter, every journalist. Even the Anfield Agenda guy has said he had an inside guy tell him Slot was going; he came back on air at 12.35 am and said he got it wrong. Slot stays. He's even said he will resign from Anfield Agenda. What makes you think he will go, Fields?

23 May 2026 14:24:42
@Thefields says he's staying as well as Carra, so technically that's not "everyone".

23 May 2026 14:25:29
The Anfield Agenda guy is not the person you look at for credibility.

23 May 2026 14:26:32
Grav, Romano said there'll be an end of season review. I know he's not the most reliable, but there's 1 who said so.

Also, Slot may stay, but there is always an end of season review at every club to see what went well and what didn't. Whether that points to Slot staying or going is another matter.

23 May 2026 14:27:50
Feels like the "review" angle covers both outcomes - if he stays, it's after the review, if he goes, it just backs the earlier info.

At this stage, it's anyone's guess really.

23 May 2026 14:28:15
Another thing I've listened to Craig at Anfield Agenda a few times. I would take everything he says as gospel. He may be right on this, but I still wouldn't hold him to it.

23 May 2026 14:34:36
It's mad to think that we live in a society now where if you get one thing wrong you have to quit or step down. I'm glad no one ever scrutinises my work or I'd be out on my ear.
I reckon his offer to stand down is just a bit dramatic and I doubt he will actually do it.

It's easiest if people just accept that Slot is here until he is not here. He will be sacked at some point. Maybe just not this year or the following year. It would be mental if he got his wingers and stuff and won us the league again. But I don't think he can. Not with that midfield.

23 May 2026 14:35:51
Thanks TF. How can you remain the manager of LFC having lost 20 games and seemingly lost most of the dressing room? Not to mention the majority of the fanbase. The review should be straightforward and done already. I hope you're right. We need to snap up Iraola before he gets snapped up elsewhere.

23 May 2026 14:57:13
Would be ridiculous to wait 2 weeks to make a decision. Potential replacements may be signed up by then, esp. Iraola.

23 May 2026 14:39:01
Gmil, the review is not just about football matters. It covers financial and commercial stuff as well. Hence it being an end of season review.

Grav, if your source of info is from a mentally unstable person who sells themself for views. You need to review your sources. Myself and Carra have been steadfast in our belief Slot is gone, that's not changed since before Christmas. I have a multitude of contacts from agents/reps to executives at clubs which have been nurtured over years of meetings, conferences, events and the work I do.

WTR, it does but if I'm wrong I'm wrong its as simple as that.

23 May 2026 14:42:07
Grav7, Slot staying on is a non-story. Ask yourself why the press is pushing it so hard when it's not news at all. Why has it conveniently been pushed immediately prior to big games on numerous occasions during this critical run in? If you're not sure, I'll tell you. The club uses the media to push narratives during situations of unrest in order to unify the fanbase and rally them behind the team in an attempt to quell the noise. Resounding boos can have a detrimental effect on the players and their performances, so the club does everything it can to prevent that when Champions League qualification and up to £200m in revenue hangs on a knife edge.

Craig from Anfield Agenda does not have inside sources; he regularly runs some of the worst clickbait stories out there and has no issue sharing pieces from dogrubbish outlets with zero credibility. Just look at the chaps thumbnails. He's all about generating views.

23 May 2026 14:50:00
Robbo is here talking me off the ledge. My hero (for now).

23 May 2026 15:09:10
Someone said previously that Gakpo has Slots nudes and that is why he was getting so much game time lol. But maybe slot has Hughes and Edwards nudes in a comprising situation and that is why they are terrified of firing him.

I'm not ITK, just a theory I am working on

23 May 2026 15:21:19
Inbeta, apparently Slot's tongue is more silver than the STC's.

23 May 2026 15:22:34
Inbeta1989, 🤣 Lucky man that Gakpo. Whatever they're up to, they're certainly in bed together.

23 May 2026 15:27:09
Fields, I always thank you for your quick information. I can't predict and tell you every variable that changes so quickly, as someone who does similar work in other countries.

23 May 2026 15:39:07
Not sure what's worse InBeta, our season or seeing Slot nude. 🤣

23 May 2026 16:26:23
I was told a long time ago that there was going to be an end of season review to include all football operations.

It's why I've been steadfast in my view that Slot would see the season out.

23 May 2026 16:51:02
Slot is lucky, as with a head like that it could be suggested that he has two helmets.

23 May 2026 17:38:53
Sound Fields, I hope you're right mate.

23 May 2026 17:49:39
I posted a couple of days ago that there was a massive project going on behind the scenes at LFC, of which a recently reacquainted school friend is a part of.

I suggested that this season was more a data gathering exercise. The project was prepared for roll out during Klopp's last season. Could it have anything to do with his departure? Maybe he didn't consider himself the man to carry it out.

It aims to redefine, reinvent or reimagine the game itself. It goes higher than the three amigos in Slot, Hughes and Edwards.

They are simply tasked to oversee its implementation and analyse the data.

You see Slot using the word 'evolve' a lot now. VVD saying to 'have faith in the process'.

Something big is afoot and you can expect an entirely different season come August.

Listen out for noises around 'big changes', Slot's use of the word 'evolution' or its derivatives. Anything that points to systemic change.

The only question in my mind is whether it will be drip fed or dumped all at once. Recruitment will be laser targeted to fit the project.

23 May 2026 17:58:13
It does feel like things have changed with us fans. The 2022-23 season was awful, with Fabinho and Jordan's form falling off a cliff. But I don't remember fans getting so personal, they just got frustrated.

Some of the abuse Gakpo currently gets feels quite unpleasant. Yes, he's had an awful season (along with our other winger - who seems to get a free pass - and every other player) - but I don't get why people have to be so snide about his relationship with Slot?

Yes, I think Gakpo reached his (high) ceiling last year and he is not at Diaz's level, but he comes across as a very decent guy, and was very effective last year.

23 May 2026 18:13:52
We weren't having a go at Gakpo, it was just a bit of Craic. I'm having a go at the coach for playing him over and over when it is clear the guy needs a rest. I'm sure his confidence is shot to bits. I have nothing against the guy, seems like a good spud.

23 May 2026 18:19:38
Monster,
Social media is one aspect of that. However, I believe we have turned because of results.

Goes with every supporter, but if a team is playing well and winning, it doesn't matter if a player is poor or not as good. Different when you're losing.

23 May 2026 18:29:02
I am with you, inbeta. Craic is fine. I am just a bit overly protective of the players who were so great last year, and thinking more generally about the way we speak about them.

Not a dig at your banter!

23 May 2026 18:35:25
Anfield Agenda is just a click bait site, all he does is moan, knows sweet fa.

23 May 2026 18:08:38
Eda. Edit this to be presentable. i'm saying it as I feel.

Get the person out of the club. the club has lost its soul, and his style.of football ain't bringing it back

23 May 2026 18:45:31
It's the way we are losing. It's unprecedented for its dullness.

23 May 2026 19:20:21
Spot on, Karlos.

Enough is enough now.
If by some miracle this guy is still our manager at the start of the next season, then there is something seriously wrong at our club, and we should all be very concerned.

23 May 2026 19:22:42
Cheers monster. I have noticed that there has been a lot of abuse of Gakpo. But for me it should be directed at MacA, Konate, VVD, Wirtz, yeah, Wirtz and even Szobozlai at times. Szobo has saved our bacon a lot this season, but I think he can be better. Konate has been a complete disgrace all season, and wouldn’t bat an eyelid or care at all if he left for free. Never rated the guy.

MacA is probably the most frustrating one that angers me. He was so good last season and has been miles off it all season. So, if so many players are all massively out of form, you can only assume it is because of the coaching or tactics. That is why I am giving most of these players a bye ball this season, because I think the blame lies with Slot. He tried something and it hasn’t worked, and he is not good enough to fix it or turn it around. Fingers crossed we get our m wish of a new manager and things start seeming a bit more positive.

23 May 2026 19:49:46
But something is up with Mac? He had an unspecified injury which kept him out for months. I don't think the guy is very well.

23 May 2026 12:23:06
Has Liverpool ever shown interest in Belloumi of Hull? Great talent and one of the reasons Hull are where the are today. Plus we would still have a Mo in the squad. 😊

23 May 2026 12:41:21
I would say Hull's success is mainly from Koumas.

23 May 2026 14:54:13
Tobi 3, We're the post saying that Carra says Slot is staying carnt seem to find it. 🤔

23 May 2026 15:01:19
I remember Vennegoor of Hesselink.

23 May 2026 15:29:11
That's a blast from the past, Rigsby!!!!

23 May 2026 16:28:16
Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. 😁

Combined with Zoltan Gera for one of the best footballer crisp flavours.

Zoltan Vennegoor of Hesselink.

23 May 2026 18:32:08
Nice one, Ron. 😂

23 May 2026 11:41:37
Liverpool reached an agreement with Celtic FC yesterday for highly-rated 16-year-old Scottish defender Dara Jikiemi, who had been closely monitored by the club for months. He'll officially join the academy setup on July 1st.

23 May 2026 12:45:10
We'll have the best defense in 2030.

23 May 2026 13:24:43
He's Finnish.

23 May 2026 13:26:30
Liverpool are going down the Chelsea model. Buying young players that will never break into the first team. Utter crap philosophy.

23 May 2026 13:41:54
Bit harsh on a 17 year old MK, give the lad a chance !!

23 May 2026 14:36:49
Or maybe just strengthening our youths, TheOne. We shouldnt even be hearing about this signing. You can blame the internet age for that.

23 May 2026 16:55:45
I don't like all this. Was it Ben Doak we signed and seldom played? He was flying before us, and it can ruin a player's morale, particularly a kid. Wrong, and so is waving a new set of keys for their parents' house. I know several local kids here at Utd and City, and it makes my skin crawl.

There should be a rule. Think of your early Utd teams and Stevie and Carra coming through? Clubs are losing their identity! I'm old fashioned but I want the true reserves back; young local Scouse lads playing competitively to break into that main team, but still as a decent standard ready for that step-up.

23 May 2026 10:15:49
Also been told Alisson & Jones are being pushed out by Slot & they want to stay but that looks like only if he goes.

23 May 2026 10:38:52
Where'd you hear that, Racey?

23 May 2026 10:57:07
Garbage. Alisson is the most low maintenance, top professional you'd find. Anytime he's fit, he's been straight back in the team under Slot. People are forgetting this group had one of the best weeks of celebration under this coach q2 months ago. He ain't perfect, but he ain't Satan either.

23 May 2026 10:45:43
I'll gladly drive the bald clown back to Holland. He is destroying the club more and more each day.

23 May 2026 10:50:13
Florian, Ed already said on the Banter page (cos I asked him) that Slot is trying to purcge the senior players/legends that have been the fly in the ointment for him since such guys like Salah and Jones (not sure about Ali but he is prolly involved) aren't just content with towing the line and will push back.

So essentially since the senior players are against him then, he is going to create and new dressing room and push out the "disidents", so to speak.

You are free to consulr Ed01 on this because I did.

23 May 2026 11:10:23
Rightly or wrongly, if there are fractures, then one of the solutions is to clean house.

23 May 2026 11:22:23
Whatever is happening - it all feels very moneyball - get rid of the old guard and use the data irrespectively of what is happening right in front of your face.

23 May 2026 11:22:41
@FM, It was the same person that told me about Slot staying. 👍

23 May 2026 11:26:28
Instead of replacing the manager who fell out with senior players from the group that won everything, we decided to get rid of the players instead. Nice clear-out, that.

23 May 2026 11:53:50
Getting rid of winners with knowledge so no one questions his ludicrous ideas. Get rid of as many players as you want, mate, you can't get rid of 60k fans inside the stadium calling you an idiot.

23 May 2026 12:22:41
I have a feeling they're going to spend fortunes again in an attempt to make Slot work...

Who knows, Fergie used to stay relevant by changing his back room staff fairly frequently, so perhaps that's the aim?

Not happy if he stays, but we have to work with it, I guess.

23 May 2026 12:34:26
It won't just be up to Slot who is pushed out or brought in, will it?
I thought he was the head coach.

23 May 2026 12:40:02
No, Oli, it's grand. Just asking where the info was from. Think it's a fair ask, or is "I'm hearing" the new standard for passing on info? Was curious because nothing has ever really been said about Alli. Only problem with him would be the injuries, as he's missed 33 Premier League games over the last 3 seasons.

23 May 2026 12:46:44
To hear that Slot is pushing players out must be some inside info.

23 May 2026 13:52:52
[Ismael Mahmoud] A source close to Alisson: "All signs point to him staying at Liverpool. He is very happy at the club!"

23 May 2026 10:03:11
There’s lots of talk now that FSG have took on board slots request to have a change of back room staff & transfers as he believes that will help to challenge on all fronts next season. This was sent to me by my friend who has contacts.

23 May 2026 10:47:32
We must have the same friend, called Twitter. Looking at the timing of release around assistant manager recruitment, new players, and Wirtz's latest interview - there's no way Slot gets sacked this summer.

23 May 2026 10:53:11
What did Wirtz say?

23 May 2026 10:57:20
Just can't see it making any difference when we still look like a team that has no style, and it looks, from the outside, that he's lost the players. You can't come back from that.

23 May 2026 12:01:26
@Belfast, Look up Wirtz interview, it's one of the first results with The Athletic/NY Times. Mad how many posters here seemingly don't have Google. 😂

23 May 2026 12:06:14
I did but it was just random World Cup nonsense, I'll check The Athletic.

23 May 2026 14:42:54
In other words, in this scenario, Slot is trying to bypass Hughes and Edwards to get what he wants. Sounds like the logical way to proceed would be to make Slot the Manager and remove Hughes and, perhaps, Edwards, and bring in a DoF who Slot can work with, and who can help Slot bring in the backroom staff and players that Slot might want.

As plausible as any of the other scenarios, I guess.

23 May 2026 10:01:32
Morning Gents, Happy Saturday.

No manager update.

But I'm told Liverpool want to sign Antonio Nusa.

21 Yr old from RB L.

Cheers.

23 May 2026 10:13:41
So we still in for Hoeness then?

Nusa or Diomande then.

23 May 2026 10:16:48
So the cheaper option then.

23 May 2026 10:42:45
Doesn't look like Slot is going anywhere as Etienne Reijnen apparently is coming. Disaster.

23 May 2026 10:44:11
Nusa plays on left & Diomande on right.

23 May 2026 10:44:34
Cheers, Robbo. 👍

Hoping and praying for good news that Slot is gone/going.

Worrying rumour that Reijnen is coming as Asst. That's a disastrous move by FSG if true.

23 May 2026 10:45:20
Good player but he tends to play on the left? Maybe a Gakpo replacement...? Wouldn't mind an older player to 'not block the path of Rio'.

23 May 2026 11:01:45
Rogers mk 2. Give the man that which he insists will make the difference, then sack him a few weeks into the season, when they finally realise Slot is limited.

How did the assistant suddenly get clearance, which was flatly refused previously?

{Ed001's Note - he needed qualifications which he went and got.}

23 May 2026 11:28:17
ITKs talking hot air, I think.
Slot is staying, or Mo defo wouldn't have agreed to go.
Jones defo wouldn't want away in my opinion.

23 May 2026 11:20:15
Do you know much about him Ed?
The coach I mean

{Ed001's Note - no, sorry.}

23 May 2026 14:45:11
@Robbo, first post in thread - "No manager updates"
2nd post in thread 'So are we still in for Hoeness'...

Comedy lives on.

22 May 2026 22:24:48
Liverpool want to sign Yan Diomande before he heads off to the World Cup with the Ivory Coast.

22 May 2026 23:52:26
PSG interested too.

23 May 2026 04:26:28
Pull out all the stops to get this kid, best available option to replace Salah on the RW. Not Salah level, by the way, but very very promising indeed.

23 May 2026 04:38:53
I read that he wants to stay where he is for the time being, although it was just in a gossip section somewhere.

23 May 2026 07:07:55
I don't read any gossip forums.

23 May 2026 08:38:18
Looks something else in the Bundesliga. Just hope, if we sigh him, it transfers over to the Premier League. Definitely looks as if he'll be able to handle the phsicality.

23 May 2026 08:50:33
He'll be heading to PSG, I reckon.

23 May 2026 08:59:46
We all know Klopp was a draw to top players, but this season Slot has made us not very attractive to play for. Why would a top young tallent come now? Last season the attraction was there for Wirtz and Isak, but another season like this one and you see it now: Jones, Ali, etc., want out, and then Isak, Wirtz and Slobbo will want out. The problem is not the club, it is Slot and his brand of football.

I can not get my head around why FSG see keeping Slot is the best way to success. Hughes has a lot to answer for to protect Slot; he protects himself, and Hughes must not give a toss about the club to have not noticed Slot's lost the dressing room because of his football. The cure for that is change the dressing room. My God, how low have we dropped to keep this failure of a manager. It's a massive insult to the fans.

23 May 2026 09:09:46
Fbart, Carra is saying Slot goes. I hold on to this until he does.

23 May 2026 09:17:47
I'll be honest, for the 100 million euros being quoted for only one good season in the Bundesliga, I'd wait to see how he gets on in the World Cup. If he's terrible, I wouldn't go near him.

Huge risk making this deal, seems we would rather these players go to Red Bull or teams like Bournemouth first to see how they get on and then pay a premium on them.



Could we not have bought a Diomonde or Rayan a year ago as a squad player with the view of being the starter once Salah leaves.

23 May 2026 09:22:02
If Hughes is involved with negotiations, he'll defo not be signing or Dick Hughes will pay the full asking price like he's done with every other signing.

23 May 2026 09:32:25
Well, he's an LFC fan apparently. And if he has any sense he'll realise he's gonna walk into the team of one of the biggest clubs on the planet if he signs for us. At the moment, his competition is Chiesa.

23 May 2026 09:36:25
Carra also said Alonso was nailed on. I may be mistaken, and wait for next week, but there's loads of speculation that Slot stays. My point on this is, the Prem champions was a draw for players in, if you look at this season, if top tallent had the option of Lfc, Arsenal or PSG, I would have us third choice because of Slot. He is the Carlton Palmer of management, and playing for him is a step back.

I would imagine Wirtz is regretting joining us, particularly if that spam head is in charge next season. Virgil's quote, trust the process, block out the noise. Yeah, in our world that's get behind your buddy, fellow countryman, emotionless deluded manager. We lost 20 out of every competition, and the reward for that is here's more money and try again a new trust the process. Last one lasted 30 years, I remember.

23 May 2026 09:53:51
I'm not ITK; must be one of the few that isn't. In fact, I know very little, but I can read and read a lot. To me it looks pretty clear that Slot is staying. All the signs point to him staying. All the YouTubers and content creators are having a field day with stories and conspiracy theories, etc., but at the end of the day, there is nothing to suggest he is leaving.

The only thing I am clinging on to is F Romano saying there will be a review and Ornstein's stance softening ever so slightly. I hope I am wrong.

23 May 2026 10:10:04
RB Leipzig might 'diomande' upwards of £80m for the winger. 😂

InBeta1989, that sounds suspiciously ITK.

In fact, the only person to me that sounds like they are not "In The Know" is Richard Hughes.

He knows naff all, him. 😂

22 May 2026 23:22:07.
Etienne Reijnen - Slot’s Assistant at Feyenoord is close to joining Arne’s Backroom staff for next season, so with respect to Carra, Robbo etc this would mean FSG are giving Slot to October - December next season at least.



If this is all smoke and mirrors it’s quite convincing! Like Rodgers it would seem Slot is changing his assistant and getting a stay of execution!

I was told last month if Heitinga rejoins it would indicate that Slot is on secure footing so I can only speculate that getting his mate in from Feyenoord is even better for Arne’s job security?!

One more game of this season thank goodness! YNWA to everyone involved on this great webpage or whatever his the correct term lol!

22 May 2026 23:36:30
Jones posted something before, almost looked like a goodbye, too many things adding up, and I'm not liking the outcome if the math does math.

He'll be sacked before Christmas anyway, so let's just save us all the time and the points.

22 May 2026 23:36:37
Guess that means he's staying, shame. Hoping he turns it around and all the circumstances just made him blind for a season.

22 May 2026 23:45:29
Sailor, Jones posted a goodbye to Mo and Robbo.

22 May 2026 23:59:12
Ahhh, is that what it was? I didn't even read the whole post, sorry mate!

23 May 2026 00:02:09
It does seem to be gathering pace on a lot of websites. Please don't let it be true. I really don't want to watch another season of this dire football. What have Robbo, the Fields and Carra heard about him coming, or is it smoke and mirrors?

23 May 2026 04:40:28
What's to say it won't be Ajax or the Dutch national team? It might also be just a rumour.

23 May 2026 05:46:54
FSG work in cycles. They are not moved by noise until it starts to hit profits.

They did due diligence when choosing Arne Slot, who bagged a title. His complaints are that he does not have the players or coaching set up required to fully implement his vision.



And, just like Rogers, Arne has some blag.

What's about to happen is merely FSG staying true to their original vision. Edwards and Hughes are calling the shots.

23 May 2026 06:11:01
@shanklys ghost,

"How is it nonsense when it's coming from Paul Joyce of all people? He's clearly a tier-one Liverpool journalist. Do you seriously think he talks rubbish?

We'd all love for Slot to leave, but you can't just dismiss reports from top-tier journalists as nonsense just because you don't want them to be true.

As things stand right now, the situation realistically points more towards Slot staying than leaving.

Just because the reports don't align with your opinion doesn't mean you should label journalists' information as rubbish."

23 May 2026 06:31:58
Dominic King posted the story via the Telegraph. It seems these local journos are convinced he's staying. Disastrous if true.

23 May 2026 06:54:01
@Hankly's,

Fact: Slot's 1sr season he wins the PL and qualifies for CL football.
Fact: If Slot's team get a point tomorrow we qualify for CL football. Depending upon results, we might not even require a point tomorrow.
Fact: FSG are interested in(sports) business assets not football peruse.
Fact: None of us know what Slot's KPIs for this season were / are, and as such, it's possible that he could have done enough for him to keep the job (ass7ming he wants it).



Just because a lot (all) of us want Slot to leave doesn't mean that it's a foreigner conclusion that he will be gone next week.

You are looking at it solely from a football perspective, which (sadly imo) isn't the full picture. P&L is a key factor in determine the need for change, at least for FSG, whose club it is, after all.

23 May 2026 06:55:41
Well, if he is staying, they need to give him the players and coaches he needs to give him the best chance. Otherwise there is no point and they are letting not only Slot down, but the club and the fans.

You have to wonder if these journos would risk trashing their reputations to suit the club. Every one of them will be made to look a fool if Slot leaves now.

23 May 2026 07:12:47
I have just been reading more reports that the club's end of season review hasn't been completed yet. So nobody knows anything yet.

23 May 2026 07:50:12
Slot confirmed it (more or less) in his presser yesterday, and also Feyenoord Chief Exec confirmed that Reijnen is leaving to take a role at a significant club abroad. Rules out Ajax and the Dutch national team, I'm afraid.

Time to buckle in, accept he is there next year, and start to support him. The club get more decisions right than wrong, so in LFC we trust.

I'm still very concerned about our off the ball structure and approach. I simply don't know what we are trying to accomplish having Dom chase shadows, having our center forward or Salah press a center half in the most gormless and non-committal fashion before staying all the way up the field, and having the opposition midfielder waltz through the center of the park and into our final third.

Sure, we would look a lot better with two lightning wingers who can pin the opposition full backs and run up and down the field off the ball, and if Salah and Gakpo had anything close to their numbers last year, we would have been in a title race even if I don't think we look like we were equipped for a title challenge this year. I think it's very concerning that we look so incredibly poor off the ball, that's all down to coaching, surely. With a Wharton or Stiller in the team next to somebody who stays put at the 6 (hopefully Grav, and we stop doing this rotation nonsense in the midfield), we can release the ball early to the wingers and fullbacks flying down the pitch.



Returning to the pressing, though, I'm not asking for heavy metal football necessarily, but you're not going to survive in this league just inviting the opposition to get up the field, taking the p***, doing neat triangles and rondos before having the likes of Morgan Rogers take unopposed shots from outside the box. For me, that has nothing to do with personnel or injuries. If you were the coach of Grimsby Town, you wouldn't allow that to happen regardless of who you were playing.

I trust that Slot isn't blind, and that he will work to fix this (which hopefully has him abandoning the +1 system and having us press from the front with a more energetic front three), but I've also felt this way all year, and it seems to be getting worse. The last two games, with all our forwards out, you would've thought that we would tighten things up at the back, be impossible to score against, and try to score from a set piece or a counter, but we were appalling in the press and appalling in both boxes.

Ajax currently have an interim manager, so there is hope they will be meeting up there for the new season.

23 May 2026 08:33:51
The way I'm looking at this now is that if Slot was definitely going players like Salah and Jones wouldn't be looking at going they would stay until the new manager is named or in place.


Sorry but all this talk that Slot is away isn't lying well with me, I hope I'm wrong but I have this horrible feeling the fraud is staying and FSG have lost their balls.

23 May 2026 08:48:29
SA is correct, the end of season review will wait until ... the end of the season.

23 May 2026 09:41:27
I'm sick and tired of people saying that Slot staying will be disastrous.
A disaster is Hillsborough, Heysel, Munich, Bradford, Ibrox, Bolton.
A manager staying may not be what you want but is not a disaster. Liverpool supporters, football fans, and media people should stop using the term, especially when it comes to talking about players, managers, and results.

23 May 2026 10:05:27
Well said, Kemlyn.
Another cringey one is that Slot is 'destroying the club'.
Slot won't, or won't be allowed to, destroy the club.

23 May 2026 10:54:46
Rigsby, he has been allowed to destroy it with no accountability up to this point.

Or are we saying that he hasn't destroyed it enuff (cos we stumbled into CL this season) hence, we should cut him some slack to destroy it further?

23 May 2026 10:46:28
Ive started a little rhyme on behalf or Ron and myself. Ahem

No review, no clue!! I think it's quite catchy.

Seriously though.

If Slot stays he needs to be supported whether we like it or not, he needs the backroom staff and players as I can't believe a manager who was identified as good fit and was also said to be a good fit by one of our own Eds can suddenly become bad.

23 May 2026 12:16:26
If he stays and results stay the same and there's nothing to say they won't, we will be out of the league by December, and more than likely out of cups, a new manager with players he probably doesn't want, really really hope he goes because he's f******.

23 May 2026 14:50:23
I absolutely agree, @Oli. Slot has destroyed the club to the point we are just about to qualify for next season's CL, having managed a lucky escape from relegation.

I'd suggest the definition in your dictionary of the word destroy might be slightly inaccurate.

22 May 2026 23:03:37
Haha, Joyce and King breaking news. Slot to stay.

23 May 2026 00:45:24
Convenient how these non-stories always come out right on the cusp of big events where the club really doesn't want the crowd to turn on the manager, isn't it?

23 May 2026 06:22:42
Frank, is that’s true, I’m not sure it’s anything to laugh about. The same mistake they did with Rodgers all over again.

23 May 2026 07:17:16
Well, I have just looked and can't see any "Breaking news", just the same that's been said for a few weeks.

Slot may stay or may leave, nothing has been decided yet, I don't believe.
