Who last's longest? Starmer or Slot
1
13 May 2026 23:01:44 I reckon Arne Starmer will last the longest.

14 May 2026 00:16:03 Imagine being stuck in a lift with them 2.

14 May 2026 01:50:51 Would nearly be as bad as getting stuck with Florian and Patrik.
13 May 2026 21:29:46
Fair play to Carra, Robbo and the fields in particular if Arne does leave LFC!
Most Journalists are doubling down that Slot will be Liverpool Coach come August despite what common sense and our eyes tell us!

I still think he will go, trust Carra, the Fields, Victor Goddam, Ned Flanders's and all the other people who make this site what it is.

13 May 2026 22:21:12
I trust their knowledge too, but I'm nervous due to Edward's incompetence.

13 May 2026 23:01:14 Robbo? He's not an ITK, he's contradicted himself so many times I can't keep up.
3
14 May 2026 00:07:34 I reckon the club want to maintain the idea that Slot will be here for another season while the players are fighting for a Champions League place. Once fourth/fifth is confirmed, there will be less reason to worry about the effect it has on the players and their performance. For now, CL qualification is priority.

14 May 2026 04:45:02 Sorry, typo was meant to say rumours instead of remmies.
13 May 2026 21:18:22
Just going through the posts on the various pages and I'd be interested in a poll to see who thinks we will change manager end of season and who thinks Slot will still be in place to start next season?
Personally I want a change but I've been convinced for a while he stays IF he gets us a CL spot
13 May 2026 20:23:51
Ed001 where is your head with Slot at the minute you think he stays or goes?
I hope we secure champions league football this weekend by hook or by crook and then have a really bad performance last day of the season to hopefully hammer the final nail in his coffin ⚰️.

Grino, it's somewhat disappointing that you wish for a "really bad performance" the last day of the season. I'm fairly certain that the decision makers have already made up their minds regarding whether he stays or goes, and won't be basing their actions on how we perform that day.

Rome, I wish I had your confidence, and I hope he goes because another season like this would be awful.
But Tweedledee and Tweedledum, I'm not sure what they are going to do.
But if there was a worse reaction from the crowd than the Chelsea game, I think them above might step in.
But me wishing for it, I don't think makes too much difference, Rome, because it's been bad for 36 league games this season, I can't see much changing.
His barefaced lying about Rio last weekend was awful. When he said he knew what the crowd's reaction was going to be, well it did not look like that when he took him off, then to come up with that crap.

13 May 2026 22:06:16
@Rome, I think / hope you are right. Even if we win our last two games, I still think the evidence of the season is overwhelming that we aren't playing well.
As an example with numbers, I asked my wife to pick three numbers between 1 and 36 and then 3 numbers between 1 and 80 and then added 15 to the second number to get a reasonable length. If you take the following:
11 9 - 24
23 52 - 67
31 29 - 44
With the first number being match day, and the second and third being a 15 minute period in the game, I'd say the chances would be fairly high that you would get a pretty good view of how we have been playing consistently poor football.
I haven't had a chance to look at the games yet, but I probably will - it's hard not to now that the random numbers have been picked. 😀😀

Someone posted about replacing Alison should that happen, but the list of who to replace with missed a GK that I think is suited.
Not finished article by any means, but improving every game, can kick too, young.
His name is Joan Garcia at Barca, only joined them this summer from Espanyol (if remember correctly).
I really think he could do a good job, over time.

Robin Risser looks very good.

13 May 2026 20:44:39
Garcia is very very good. No chance they sell him.

Maybe we should try re-signing Kelleher, worth testing the waters.
2
13 May 2026 22:31:39
Did we ever put in a buy back clause on Khelleher?
13 May 2026 20:11:15
Ok, Flo, another ITK not ITK sigh.

13 May 2026 20:11:59
Bringing the nerds back was an absolute howler from everyone involved. Can't wait until they're all gone. I'd rather have Jorg Schmadke activating random release clauses while he's on the ale in Ibiza.

Another load of rubbish.

Thanks for the rumour.
Just an FYI, nothing has been decided yet, but keep posting. 👍

It's getting so tedious now! Everyone is IDK! lol I'm just waiting to see what happens, and will pay more attention here once the same posts aren't repeated every 20 seconds!

Ok Ron, if you say so.

Once again, I'd say that when contributors start a new thread or reply to a post, the pop up box should automatically have three words at the start of the post that are protected and can't be deleted. The three words should be 'In my opinion'. Nothing wrong with opinions, but the tendency to read opinions as facts just winds people up (including me).
13 May 2026 18:24:04
Hello, I never post but read all your comments at least once a day (thanks for all of them). If Slot leaves us this season then I am sure we will remember his first year a lot more than his second and if we are all honest, when he signed we would have took a title and champs qualification in first 2 years.
But due to his playing style and obvious reluctance to change I would like to thank him for his service, wish him all the best and give him our love and appreciation and let him leave us with his head held high.
He deserves that not only cos of last season but because we are Liverpool and we set our bar higher than the rest.
I only hope Edwards and Hughes's self preservation doesn't stop them from making a change. Having the 2 people deciding the fate of a manager who came in, agreeing to give them full control of signings etc against someone who could change the dynamic and potentially cost them their very lucrative positions is not ideal is it?

I'd remove Slot from our banner of iconic managers, he doesn't deserve to be on it. The man is a fraud.

13 May 2026 19:49:20
If Slot is a fraud for finishing 5th, then I have some bad news for you regarding Rafa Benitez, Jurgen Klopp, Bob Paisley, and Bill Shankly. Funny story. Shankly won the league, and then finished 7th the following season. I wonder if the best supporters in the world were calling him a fraud back then.

13 May 2026 20:04:58
I doubt they were Arnie.

It's not the results, it's the performances, it's the disconnect to the fans and the city, it's the total lack of respect to the squad and youth players. It's the inability to motivate our players to get up for big games (cus they mean nothing to him). Now you tell me, can you say the same bout Shankly?? I don't think so.

13 May 2026 22:23:11
I'm ok'd and my memory is dodgy, and it was different times, but I don't recall anyone bad mouthing managers back in the 60s, Shanks, Sir Alf, Matt Busby, Jock Stein, Harry Catterick, Ron Greenwood, Joe Mercer, Bill Nicholson, as examples, were all respected.
The one that does stand out was Don Revie - he was respected but probably a bit more grudgingly. It changed in the late 60s when it started to become a bit more tribal and towards the end of the decade violence started (or restarted apparently) amongst (unsegregated) fans.

13 May 2026 23:07:48 Arnie did any of them that finished low after a title win have £450 million doubled up the wall?
A title winning team strengthened to finish forth due to inept fitness and tactics?
1
13 May 2026 23:08:25 Didn't Don Revie leave the England job to take some lucrative one abroad, can't remember who team though, that's why he wasn't liked.
1
13 May 2026 23:39:20 I'll remember this time for how emotionally immature and incapable many adults are at having coherent conversations beyond one variable.
2
13 May 2026 23:59:05 Strom, I think Revie was disliked before then. There were accusations that he tried to bribe officials when he was Leeds manager. Pretty sure some players in that team got accused of trying to bribe opp players as well.
0
14 May 2026 00:17:55 WYR.. I knew his team Leeds wasn't liked because of how they played, but didn't know about the bribing though. But did you see the interview with him n Clough on the TV.. a proper old skool.debate, no holding back, fascinating stuff.
1
14 May 2026 01:46:06 I have seen that interview a few times over the years. It was excellent. Fair play to Revie for doing it, if I was him I wouldn't have. Clough was funny and brutal at the same time back then. Don't know if I am remembering this right, but did Clough use to go on Match of the Day around that time?
