Hello ed1 hope u well.

Have u heard what clubs intentions are as regards goalkeeping situation?
Whether we go with mamar as no.1 next season and give him his chance or do we keep alisson as no.1 and sell mamar( I don't believe he would stay another season as no.2) or do we try and buy a new no.1 due to mamar not convincing + Allison getting more and more injury prone

Do you rate James Trafford at city Ed?

0


https://liverpool-rumours.co.uk/uploads/thumb_Ed001.png avatar{Ed001's Note - no, he can't handle pressure at all. He constantly boots the ball into touch when put under even tiny pressure, which is a real worry. He is ok when he is a back up, there is no pressure on him, but as a starter he is terrible. Ridiculously overrated keeper.}

Do you know anything about Lens GK Robin Risser Ed? A lot of peoples have been saying good things about him.

Where's the source for the Heitinga return? All I've found online is Slot wanted him back before he joined Spurs and asked again when he left Spurs, but the move was blocked. So if Slot is staying, why not let him back?

5


28 Apr 2026 02:58:48
Yea I don't get it. If you want to back the manager, and the manager is asking for a staff, why won't you get him in?

It tells you what you need to know to be honest. Slot is done at the end of this season.

7


28 Apr 2026 06:50:01
Yeah the rumours of Spike and GvB leaving feel more like a partial leak referring to Slot and all backroom staff leaving. Or I'm putting 2 + 2 together and making 5.

As FSW said below, the club are doing its best to stop all leaks getting out.

4


27 Apr 2026 20:57:54
Cara, have you heard anything new regarding slot going or staying? More and more are convinced he's staying. Wonder what you take on it is now?

1


27 Apr 2026 22:21:14
He's going nowhere, word going around Johnny H is coming back too.

3


27 Apr 2026 22:32:06
Maybe Johnny H is taking over.

2


28 Apr 2026 05:52:55
Where's the info about Johnny H coming? I can't see it.

1


28 Apr 2026 06:56:48
Johnny H has burnt his bridges with Edwards. He was reminded that he was part of the multiyear project but still left.

1


28 Apr 2026 08:13:03
I think burnt bridges is harsh.

He was an assistant manager and was given the opportunity to become the head coach of the biggest club in his home country of Holland.

I think most people would take that opportunity. Not sure he's done much wrong there.

4


28 Apr 2026 08:58:24
Sounds like Van Bronckhurst is close to a move away in the summer - and people are just trying to fill the gap before it's made.

Realistically, Slot goes and there is no position for Heitinga, unfortunately, at least not until the Head Coach position is ironed out, but I'd imagine whoever comes (still expect Alonso) will bring their own team.



Genuinely, the rumour just sounds like someone trying to add fuel to the narrative that Slot is staying.

2


28 Apr 2026 10:06:03
From the last post Carra made, he was mentioning taking a risk passing on what he knew.

Let's hope he's ok and is fully aware of what's going on. The post yesterday from FatSpanishWaiter made a lot of sense and hopefully is bang on.

Does seem strange how many ITK's have been posting in the last 6/12 months...

My gut feeling is that Slot still goes...

as others have said, I still can't understand why they wouldn't of backed him in January or why he would stay when he's homesick and his family won't move here.

Listening to his interviews recently, he seems distant and it almost feels like he's halfway out of the door, not excited to finish the season strong and build next year...

27 Apr 2026 17:39:32
As I understand it, this is what has gone down.

1- Edwards' team began negotiations with Alonso's people. Alonso has always been Edwards' first choice. He went with Slot only because Alonso was not available.

2- One of Alonso's staff contacted Flo and Frimpong with a bunch of questions, after which one of them shared that they had been in contact. This gave the game away to the squad.

3- Edwards and his team were upset that this had happened as it undermined Slot and the charge for a CL spot.

4- Edwards and team have been trying to plug leaks, which had become as bad as they were under B-Rod.



5- Edwards ceased negotiations with Alonso's people in response to the blurring of the lines. This was not done moodily as such, more out of respect and a necessity to hush new manager talks.

6- Edwards has a bunch of people putting a whole lot of very mixed rumours out there, including people posting here, as a way to muddy the waters and confuse people.

7- Aside from 1/2 people there are no longer any ITK's since the leaks have been well and truly plugged.

My guess is that Alonso is coming but had to park any early drive for info due to all of the above.

27 Apr 2026 17:51:02
I was clutching at straws, thinking they were keeping Slot for a year whilst they wait on Enrique, but this is much better.

4


27 Apr 2026 17:57:50
Good story, love it if true. But not if Heitinga really coming back, cannot think of any rational reason that Slot will out but Heitinga still back as assistant.

1


27 Apr 2026 18:04:09
Didn't Edwards block Hetinga coming back n that's how he ended up at Spurs.

4


27 Apr 2026 18:13:33
Rumour saying Heitinga now coming back……

3


27 Apr 2026 18:13:40
I still feel he will go personally.

-no contract
-no signings in January when needed
-lot of rumours about Alonso
-now it sounds like staff are leaving
-some of the things Slot has said make him sound disconnected from talk of next season or long term future.

My gut feeling is that he will leave.

The only thing that makes me feel he will stay really is a lot of the more well known journalists being fairly strong on him staying. I know they are relaying what the club want them to, but still.

They are fairly strong on that so maybe he will stay.

I think if he gets top 5, he should ride off into the sunset with his reputation firmly intact in football circles.

He can always play this as a rebuild season as he has been doing and point to him winning the league. He will have a pick of clubs to choose from in Holland and can return to a higher level at some stage again perhaps when the family have finished school.

16


27 Apr 2026 18:20:23
It seems a bit ridiculous that Edwards would get pissed because Xabi contacted 2 of his own former players. Surely it's an absolute guarantee that it was always going to happen. Typical control freak Edwards behaviour.

3


27 Apr 2026 18:24:41
Excellent original post, @FatSpainishWaiter!

3


27 Apr 2026 18:39:35
This all actually adds up really well.

Diddly out.

18


27 Apr 2026 18:55:37
Best rumour yet and me waiter could have well and truly smashed it as top dog there. 🙂

Thank you for sharing, I don't even care if it's real, it's that good.

5


27 Apr 2026 19:09:17
In all of the post (which I hope is true), the best part for me was the name B-Rod for Rodgers. Good name for a band.
B-Rod (feat) the Outstanding Characters.

4


27 Apr 2026 19:10:01
Very plausible indeed.

2


27 Apr 2026 19:11:27
I was agreeing with Chewy right up until the last sentence. Then I realised he actually believed the OP. 😆

3


27 Apr 2026 19:14:59
Just watching the press conference on Friday, it seemed like Slot was just about saying he was going.
Ever since last March, Slot has struggled. He even admitted it in a press conference, saying he needed a break last March to go home, and since then he has not been the same.

2


27 Apr 2026 19:18:13
Rarely, I pray I am wrong, but in this instance, I hope I am and that this is the truth. 😆

11


27 Apr 2026 19:19:17
You mean this site is a threat to Edwards?
People working for Edwards come up on here to muddy the waters. 🌝 Hard to swallow, man.

7


27 Apr 2026 19:26:09
Thanks for the rumour.

3 & 5 lack credibility in my opinion. Jackanory would be proud.

Firstly, agents and executives/directors are always talking about players and managers. If they're not, then they're not doing their job.
Someone saying to a player "Edwards has been talking to Xabi's agent" is a total "nothing burger" to players who know the score. They also know most agents have more than one client, and talking to an agent means nothing.



Secondly, the idea that Edwards would be "upset" that it undermines the CL push is also pure fantasy to me. I don't believe he'd be upset - because it's his job to talk to representatives, and everyone knows this. Also, players would give no relevance to it. Finally, it's all easily deniable as "fake news" to flush out a leak.

4


27 Apr 2026 19:31:55
Are you or your contact then one of the 2 people mentioned in your 7th point?

3


27 Apr 2026 21:21:39
The only error here is that the possibility of Alonso coming in next season was revealed in a way that could be undermining to the current manager, and it was felt that this was not 100% professional or respectful given the circumstances.
Getting CL next year is essential for the squad building to continue, at least if the desired signings are to agree to join.

I guess that reputations require saving, and for that to happen, things need to improve a great deal.

FSG's prudence to this point allowed for a mega spend, and for another couple of big windows, which Edwards needs to get right. An inbalanced squad/window is ok, provided parts 2 and 3 bring the vision together into a coherent, high functioning team. Currently it really could go either way, so the next steps are critical.

5


27 Apr 2026 21:50:37
It's a really long winded way of saying Carra was right. :)

2


28 Apr 2026 00:18:52
If Xabi is coming, was it his choice to let go of Salah?

0


28 Apr 2026 00:52:03
A rumour about Slot leaving - jeez it's groundbreaking stuff eh?

1


28 Apr 2026 03:04:05
It's all good, but it still remains a mystery why didn't they sack Slot if Alonso was talking and available? When performance was dire, why did they accept Salah to leave for free if they were letting Slot go?
The evidence available clearly states that they have backed Slot over team and fans.

0


28 Apr 2026 07:04:52
Much better to have the daily presence of a poster who was rightly handed his arse by Ed001 a couple of months ago yet still trolls those offering gossip.

2


28 Apr 2026 07:48:20
And some people just say the same thing over and over again everyday. Do you think Slot will get the sack at the end of the season, @SSSS? Gossip is good, the same piece of gossip day after day isn't gossip - it's boring, repetitive garbage.

1


28 Apr 2026 08:06:56
In your view. It's not the same gossip - it is extremely detailed business information from multiple posters and covers contract law, the backroom, the executive, and so on. And some of it predicts Slot staying next season, anyway.

0


27 Apr 2026 14:56:27
Sipke Hulshoff and GVB are set to leave LFC at the end of the season.

17


27 Apr 2026 15:19:20
This all sounds very much like the end of Brendan Rodgers' time here...

9


27 Apr 2026 16:10:28
Yeah, Rodgers' time here is definitely over.

27


27 Apr 2026 16:41:59
Maybe Slot has moved on from blaming low blocks, pressing, other tactics, refs, wind, schedule, set piece coach, and convinced the suits it's all their fault too...

I'm just very angry at this (with VG news below) outcome...

Slot staying should have never been an option.

8


27 Apr 2026 16:47:41
People need to grow up and get over it. Slot is staying put, and all the ITK's have been spouting s**** all season, whipping this place into a frenzy.

16


27 Apr 2026 16:52:54
Maybe Gerrard is coming to be an assistant then as he said he would do anything the club wanted if they needed his help.

0


27 Apr 2026 17:22:09
Gerrard will be managing in the Championship next season.

2


27 Apr 2026 17:28:15
Na, gold digger. We live in and love the Frenzy. If it wasn't Slot, it would be something else.

1


27 Apr 2026 17:00:16
GoalDigger put your toys back in your pram mate.

8


27 Apr 2026 17:39:54
It's ok to not want Arne Slot as manager of Liverpool Football Club anymore.

We are allowed opinions here. It is not North Korea.

20


27 Apr 2026 18:09:44
I'd love to know their thinking behind keeping Slot, we've lost way too many games, the football has been poor, no sign of improvement, fitness seems to be worse than every other team in the league.

4


27 Apr 2026 18:11:25
Ruben Peters needs to join them

6


27 Apr 2026 18:45:48
Goaldigger, contribute something or hit the road. The ITKs are what people want to read, not some knockoff ragebaiter

5


27 Apr 2026 19:33:17
You mean I can have an opinion that's different to some on here, FPF...????

2


28 Apr 2026 00:55:47
To be fair @FP, it's the South Koreans who actually want Slot out.

0


27 Apr 2026 14:48:05
Hi all,

Big change from what I'm hearing the last few days.

As it stands, Alonso will not be coming in. Nor will Hoeness or anybody for that matter. Which means of course, all signs point to Slot staying. FSG seem to be giving their man a vote of confidence heading into next season. Not sure this is the correct choice but it's what I'm hearing.

Unless his family has agreed to move here, I'm not sure how this settles his desire to move back home.

17


27 Apr 2026 15:30:11
Thanks, but I really hope you're wrong.

19


27 Apr 2026 15:37:28
Shocking news...

Just absolutely deflating.

I was unhappy he has been allowed to stay past Xmas, but was accepting it would be end of the season.

Absolutely no idea what on earth any of those muppets have seen to warrant him being given another season, or indeed a new contract.

Absolutely nothing to look forward to for the foreseeable future watching this dross.

18


27 Apr 2026 16:10:53
Iraola standing by.

3


27 Apr 2026 16:15:12
I hope it's a smokescreen for Iraola. Let's see. At the same time, if he is indeed staying, then why are GvB and Hulshoff also leaving?

4


27 Apr 2026 16:33:26
It's GvB and Hulahoff's fault that this season went to s***. They are training the team after all. Surely can't be Slot's fault that they can't make the team play well while he is back home with the family.

5


27 Apr 2026 16:42:08
Horrendous news, I hope and pray we get Carra's outcome.
Even when Slot gets a result, the football is woeful, and there's no connection between him, the city, the fans, or even the players, it seems.
Another 2 years of this fills me with dread.

9


27 Apr 2026 16:42:12
VG noooooo, please be wrong and my mate right. Ah well, we'll see in the summer. If they do keep Slot, I think they'll regret missing out on Alonso.

Plus, we aren't guaranteed CL football yet.

The last 4 games aren't going to be easy.

Plus, if the rumours of Spike and GvB leaving then surely Slot follows. I can't believe they are doing the Rodgers trick again, surely they learnt something from then.

2


27 Apr 2026 16:49:32
Was never convinced of a Slot desire to return to coach in Holland.

3


27 Apr 2026 16:49:40
That's terrible news.

4


27 Apr 2026 16:54:54
Well, that's my week ruined.... and it's only Monday!

Let's hope you're wrong this time, VG.

3


27 Apr 2026 16:55:05
Terrible news, if true, for both the fans & the players - stifled next season as well.

1


27 Apr 2026 17:04:22
Oh, great...that's a Monday kick in the balls...

0


27 Apr 2026 17:07:29
For the record, I am praying I'm wrong. However, my source is adamant Arne is staying and I've not known them to ever be adamant without cause.

5


27 Apr 2026 17:33:00
Anyone have a rope I can borrow?

0


27 Apr 2026 17:35:34
Thanks VG...
It is what it is... whether he stays or goes... some will be happy and others won't.

I just don't want another season of "if we lose our next game then...", or "a total collapse in form will see him gone..." blah blah blah.

1


27 Apr 2026 17:45:43
Thanks VG - if that's what comes to pass, I will stick a tenner on relegation next season.

0


27 Apr 2026 17:47:56
Careful, you might give Florian Musiala enough of a reason to make a bid for those used Arne Slot underpants he's had his eye on for a while.

3


27 Apr 2026 17:54:52
Apparently, now rumours saying we getting Heitinga back, probably that's why Slot is defo staying. But, my question will be, why getting Heitinga back now instead of mid-season to save the season? If FSG always back Slot, so why only getting Heitinga now?

0


27 Apr 2026 18:09:25
I love all the ITK rumours, but I'm quite settled about Slot leaving. There is no way anybody in the club is happy at how this season has been, that includes the bosses, the players n the fans.

If Slot stays, I can see us chasing 4th again, but our play will be worse. The players have already downed tools n so have most of the fans. Definitely be a new manager in for the start of the season.

2


27 Apr 2026 18:27:42
Don't care if his family is moving over here or not! Boring football won't change to something progressive if he sees his wife every day. If he stays, he stays. We cannot do anything about it, even if I want him to go. We shall see if something drastic happens with respect to the style of play, or it will be another sucky season like this.

I have spent enough years of my life watching us play rubbish football, after which Klopp spoilt us, and now, if we have to go back to this, it, too, shall pass in due course.

1


27 Apr 2026 18:37:42
Not a hope is Slot staying. I don't doubt you nor your source VG, in fact, quite the opposite, I appreciate all that you post, but it doesn't make any sense whatsoever that Slot stays. They've made moves to secure Alonso, and Slot has created a disconnect between all and sundry, and along with all of that is our horrendously poor season, which didn't at all accommodate any of our signings to the best of their abilities.

FSG are here for winning. They see what Klopp gave the club. They see the difference between him and Slot, and they see they can do better. Which they will. He's out. imo.

3


27 Apr 2026 18:57:46
VV, I think it's all smoke from the club just to get the season over without anymore unrest.
Things have gone too far, everyone knows things are not right, there is far too much unhappiness around, and a summer off is not going to change things.

0


27 Apr 2026 19:26:22
Shanklys ghost, Slot is not going anywhere, no matter how much you or I or anyone else wants it to happen.

27 Apr 2026 21:24:44
*shrugs shoulders* Onto the next game and the next rumour.

Never seen so much emotional turmoil at each new piece of news.

0


27 Apr 2026 22:06:54
We'll see, KBL. My money is on him leaving. There's zero advantages for the club in him staying. There's better out there including their first choice candidate post Jurgen. If it's that clear to me it's certainly clear to the decision people. Only my opinion, of course.

0


27 Apr 2026 23:14:03
I hope you're right, sg, but as you say, we'll see.

1


27 Apr 2026 22:45:53
I can't believe anyone with an ounce of football knowledge would stick with Slot and his utterly boring negative football.

Every loss, and there's been plenty of them, he's blamed the low block. Sick of the slow boring tactless football. This clown in charge next season, will see us become another Tottenham.

1


27 Apr 2026 13:47:43
Slot will stay on, FSG will offer him a new 2 year deal this summer. Sorry lads. No Alonso.

5


27 Apr 2026 13:55:37
Wouldn't be a great business call by FSG. If they want to keep Slot on, they would do so & see how next season starts. If everything clicks, they could offer him a new contract then, if not they could wave him goodbye for a nominal amount.

Appreciate the rumour, Flo. 👍

4


27 Apr 2026 14:49:06
No chance he gets a new contract imo.

5


27 Apr 2026 14:55:40
Flo, you got inside info or you just pulled that out of a dream you had. 😴
Slot does not seem like he wants to carry on, if truth be told. He misses his family, and his 2 years he has done will set him and his family up for life.


Slot goes back to Holland after this season. Would not be totally surprised if he does not take the Dutch national job after World Cup if it comes available, what is a good chance.

3


27 Apr 2026 15:00:13
In the Echo it said FSG has got rid of the team coach n five other coaches from the Red Sox, maybe they've been busy sorting out that n can now concentrate on LFC n sort out our next coach for the new season.

1


27 Apr 2026 16:17:26
Maybe they got rid of him from the Red Sox to bring him into LFC Ted Lasso style!

1


27 Apr 2026 16:44:38
FSG owners are directly involved in the day-to-day management of the Red Sox.
That's not the case with LFC. That's Edwards and Hogan.

There is nothing to suggest Slot is leaving. If his two assistants are leaving, it will only be to strengthen Slot's hand.

I would prefer Iraola.

0


27 Apr 2026 17:46:06
Slot is a mid level manager with no other tools in the box. He had one vision, which failed, although the squad building was not his fault, and his man management skills are well below par. He simply does not demand respect as other managers do.


His set up is built as much around his need to get home as often as possible, as it is on his vision for the game.
The time off brigade are not fit enough for this league.

4


27 Apr 2026 08:56:05
Not sure if true, but my friend in Chester has said he heard that any issues with Alonso have been ironed out and he will be the next manager.

Again, take with a pinch, just passing on.

38


27 Apr 2026 09:08:26
Oh, you tease!

10


27 Apr 2026 09:08:46
Not sure if true or wishful thinking as he was always a big Alonso fan.

Sorry if not true. Never sure whether I should pass these things on or not.

10


27 Apr 2026 09:11:43
Thanks SA, I want this to be true. We need a new leader to get behind for next season. Doubters to believers 💪 C'mon Xabi. 🙏

6


27 Apr 2026 09:29:28
It's a rumour site, mate, whether it comes true or not isn't your problem. ta for sharing.

13


27 Apr 2026 09:57:56
SA, everyone will appreciate it, especially positivity and Alonso. 😂

2


27 Apr 2026 10:15:14
Pass, SA, for God's sake, pass. 😁

2


27 Apr 2026 10:27:32
I don't often get anything, but my mate is adamant with what he's heard. But, as soon as I posted it, I felt bad in case it's not true.

So, apologise if I get anyone's hopes up and it's wrong.

9


27 Apr 2026 10:51:47
No, brilliant rumour so thanks. Just verr verr tempting.

4


27 Apr 2026 10:52:32
Don't worry lad, there's nothing more I like than being teased and getting my hopes up. ;)

3


27 Apr 2026 10:54:19
Keep posting, SA. It's what this place is all about.

5


27 Apr 2026 11:22:17
Thanks SA...

Keep em coming, mate.

In all honesty, whether you're right or wrong... who cares?
It's a rumors site, so no matter what you post, or don't post, you'll always be rubbing 1 person at least the wrong way... so post away, mate.

A little word of advice if I may...

next time, spice up the story a little. 😜
Your friend in Chester, who is a limo driver, just happened to pick up Hughes doppelganger, who was on the phone with a Mr Jippeto, who is a famous football agent and represents a certain ex Real Madrid manager who also played for them.

9


27 Apr 2026 11:40:18
Ah, sorry, JLC. My mate is Richard Hughes' waxer and, during a particularly vicious waxing, gave up all the info.

😜

10


27 Apr 2026 11:41:47
I have spoken to my friend again and warned him if he's wrong I'll post his name and phone number on here 😂🤣.

I wouldn't really.

7


27 Apr 2026 12:01:33
This would be huge, hopefully it means Edwards/Hughes have had to loosen the reins when it comes to transfers.

0


27 Apr 2026 12:50:32
Thanks for the info. I'm totally on the fence with this one, feel it could go either way. I also feel like no decision has been made yet, or if it has there are literally about 4 people in the world that know about it. Hopefully your mate in Chester is one of them... Haha.

That's the spirit, SA. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even Cafu got in the spirit of things with his post below regarding his mate, a broker & FSG (Even sounds like a good start of a joke).

You could be right, Chewy, maybe Alonso wants more control over transfers.

A friend in Chester? Maybe it's porky Parry?

Hmm I am made to believe that FSG are cashing out of the club and a significant offer is being postulated from Middle East to make them whole.

There is a FZ LLC involved as a broker and my friend will play major role at the club if FSG do decide to sell.



Fingers crossed then I can become ITK. 😂

All though I cant see any ME entity having interest in stumping up 7-8B in these times. Someone has not the memo.

Cafu posts cryptic message at 4.24am.

Has he been out on the sauce?

Make of this what you will.

Cheers.

I practice in ME, and I can assure you, in these times, no ME king or prince has a spare 8B to buy LFC.

I don't know, though, and am not in the know, but my friend does run a company that works with acquisition and investment for a select few ME rich houses and remains adamant that one of his clients is interested in buying LFC. But won't give the name, citing some privacy law to a legal guy.

😂
I would take it in jest but it's a rumour that has never died with FSG.
Oh, and he knows about all Man-City stuff, as he is close to that family, so I can't totally write him off and hence decided to share.
Also, just a deduction from my side - since he is using FZ LLC license I can be certain it's a Dubai based entity that wants to invest (if what he says is true).

It is a rumour on a rumours page.

Cheers, Cafu.

To be fair, you don't need cash to buy a club.

If they really wanted to, they could raise the cash. They might just need to sell off their other sport-washing projects.

A couple of hotels will suffice.

As someone who spent many years working in M&A in the UAE, it is not just Dubai that has FZ LLC. Each emirate does. For instance, in Abu Dhabi, there is the ADGM free zone, which most of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund vehicles (Mubadala, ADIC etc) invest via.



I still have a good couple of mates that work in some of the SWF entities in the UAE, and they all easily have the means to acquire Liverpool if they wanted to - I just personally don't think they are that key as it doesn't align with their current investment strategies!

Perhaps we'll see something on BBC or ITV with regards to FSG and LFC.

27 Apr 2026 11:11:40
That's correct, Red. But my friend's entity is Dubai FZ based and I don't think they can work in other Emirates in UAE. Hence, I thought it's someone Dubai based.

As much as I've been sceptical about FSG in the past, overall they've been good owners, they've made mistakes and some bad decisions, but those mistakes don't overshadow the good work that has been done. The club is on a good footing financially and commercially, they got the rebuild of Anfield sorted, the club is in a far better place than when they bought it, I'd probably rather stick with them as owners than being sold to some random "consortium" who may not be as stable and savvy.

Cheers, Cafu.

It's certainly not a favourable economic climate for a sports team acquisition, unless it is a fire sale.

But, as always, would-be investors will be constantly kicking tyres on potential deals.

It actually wouldn't surprise me if FSG cash out soon. They want an NBA franchise and the NBA is going to expand, so this is a way to generate the money to go all in.

27 Apr 2026 13:17:55
Thanks for sharing, Cafu. I posted a few weeks back asking if FSG might be looking to sell in the next year or two. Rumours like this keep popping up now, I can really imagine it happening sooner rather than later.

Wow, is this thread the record holder for the most initialisms ever used in one rumour? TY and GN
