Can any of the ITKs contradict what Ornstein says or is it done regarding Xabi?
16 May 2026 18:53:22
100% agree with what Mo said in his post but 100% disagree with timing of it. This should've been for Monday week after hopefully we've secured Champ League football, which is huge for the club. The way we going, it's a v big game if Bournemouth + Brighton win there this weekend.
In saying that the higher ups should've this dealt with ages ago, quite clear slot had lost players months ago and it was going 1 way only.
16 May 2026 21:06:30
At this point there is no perfect timing really.
16 May 2026 19:00:45
I'm gona back Chelsea to win the league next season. It's not that I think Alonso is that great, has a coach but with the fact they have no European football and he can work with the players all week, with the players they have I can see it happening.
16 May 2026 19:33:36
Keep the bookies in business, Jimjim. 👍
16 May 2026 18:39:53
Can I ask ed001 if you know if we're going to keep slot.its really looking like it especially seen as alonso has gone to chelsea.or have we decided to go with someone else an never spoke to alonso
{Ed001's Note - I don't know, but I think this player's revolt has to be enough to make FSG act. Unfortunately it means Alonso is now out.}
16 May 2026 19:34:25
How can Slot honestly continue? Many of the players are in a public revolt and the vast majority of fans want him out.
FSG need to act now.
{Ed025's Note - i have always said your fans are revolting DAN.. :)
16 May 2026 19:40:39
It's heartbreaking. I hate to see our club in what can only be described as trouble. Whatever clever b******* idea it is to ignore the bleeding obvious, it is outrageous. How can FSG sit back and let this happen?
It's a disgrace.
16 May 2026 21:07:48
On the positive side, imagine if Slot turned it around.
That would be some story lol.
16 May 2026 17:41:46
Ed001, penny for your thoughts regarding the club right now. The dressing room seems to be in full revolt. Can't believe the club will stick with Slot after this.
{Ed001's Note - it does seem that there is enough going on now for Sloth to return to the Goonies with the idiotic periodisation crap and Peeters going with him (why was that even seen as a thing at Liverpool? The main seller of the periodisation junk spent the first few months of Klopp's reign attacking him to sell it. Surely someone at the club should remember how it was shown up to be a scam by Klopp's success?). Unfortunately, the other 2 Stooges, Dick and Ted, seem to be safe right now, which is crazy. The three of them should be gone now. None of them are good at their job. Egotistical and arrogant, but utterly inept.}
16 May 2026 19:35:46
Thanks for that Ed. Very frustrating times indeed. Sloth and company are destroying what Klopp built. Very discouraging.
16 May 2026 18:24:24
I can't believe we let Xabi go to Chelsea
That is unforgivable from the club. He wanted us and would have fit perfectly.
I wouldn't say I'm not mad; I'm disappointed, but I'm both. It was the logical choice.
16 May 2026 18:38:00
I said it earlier, the only way this is acceptable is if they have Iraola lined up or Enrique. Hoeness would also be OK. However, anything else or worse still Slot staying and this will turn toxic very quickly.
16 May 2026 18:38:15
It's an absolute outrage. Edwards' and Hughes' egos are bigger than Liverpool Football Club. They have destroyed our future for the next 5-10 years.
16 May 2026 18:41:20
I wouldn't say I'm mad, I'm absolutely livid. If it happens, it's a complete and utter disgrace. Nobody at this club has the balls to make decisions when it matters most.
"More is lost by indecision than wrong decision."
FSG out.
The only way they can save this is if they pull off a miracle and get Enrique.
16 May 2026 18:44:39
Iraola, I can't get behind, he hasn't been tested, doesn't challenge for silverware. Even Glasner has more. Xabi has a higher ceiling.
The only acceptable one would be Enrique, but I highly doubt that'll happen.
16 May 2026 18:55:25
Salah's message would suggest he's not in favour of an Alonso-style of play.
Alonso does not play heavy metal football, which Salah says "we have to get back to".
Iraola does.
16 May 2026 18:56:56
The only thing that I'm hoping for is that they have a alternative lined up. If not, there will be some fan backlash.
16 May 2026 18:57:15
Stop with the FSG nonsense. It's Hughes & Edwards making a mess of everything.
Yes, I know they were appointed by FSG, blah blah blah, but aside from a few missteps they've been good owners.
16 May 2026 19:03:42
I think you underestimate Iraola Fowler, and also where we are as a club right now.
We need a manager who is going to go in and get the fitness right up, get us pressing and attacking again. Iraola strikes me as someone who can get those weak points firing the quickest as they are the very essence of his style.
He is almost the polar opposite of Slot, and that is what we need right now to undo the damage of Slot.
At the very least, I expect he will put this club in a far better footing for the next guy to follow in a few years time, if he can't get over the winning line. I suspect he will be able to though.
16 May 2026 19:08:18
A new manager won't be Enrique, he's commited to PSG. If Slot goes, it's looking like Ireola or Hoeness.
16 May 2026 19:10:34
I'm sorry, but that is nonsense. The only one good decision they made was to bring Klopp in. Before that we were a mediocre club, and now Klopp has gone we are right back to where we were.
16 May 2026 19:11:00
If they don't sort this mess out this summer, Catre, it'll be FSG out all next season. The fans will turn very very fast.
16 May 2026 19:18:57
Not convinced by Iraola, I won't lie, and as soon as one of the top Spanish teams come knocking he'll be gone. Wasn't it said his family haven't settled well in the UK?
Can't help but think we've missed out on Xabi and will regret it very quickly.
16 May 2026 19:24:51
First home game next season, if Slot is in the dugout, it will turn very toxic by half time. Slot will not turn around this rot because he is the rot. He needs sacking, and whoever we have lined up will now be compared to Xabi.
16 May 2026 19:31:27
We did not want Alonso. His team reached out to the club and was turned away.
16 May 2026 20:56:22
Looks like it's Davy Moyes then.
