Morning Gents,
Adam Wharton is wanted by Liverpool in the summer, I've heard they're going to put an offer in for around £70m.
There has been a lot of chat recently regarding this transfer.
Cheers.
16 Mar 2026 11:39:37
Any more on Slot this morning, Robbo?
16 Mar 2026 11:47:15
Am not sure he is what we need. Good passer of the ball, but does not seem to get round the pitch well enough. Only thing is, he does seem to sit in his position, which is something Gravenberch is not doing.
He does remind me of Michael Carrick, who was vastly underrated, and did help make Utd tick, and players who played with him all speak about how good he was.
16 Mar 2026 11:49:48
In the minority here, but I don't think this is the profile of the midfielder we really need. What we need is someone to come in and break up the play, be defensively-minded first and foremost, to provide necessary balance to the midfield. Wharton just strikes me as another ball carrier / progressor. Someone to keep the play ticking along, without ever really threatening, which we already have in abundance in the squad.
Elliott Anderson or Stiller would be my preferred move. But, I guess with Jones and Macca linked away, perhaps we do need this profile. I only hope we get a more defensive-minded midfielder at some point soon. Endo was clearly bought as a stop-gap, when Fabinho left, and yet we never did more after the fact.
16 Mar 2026 12:02:38
We need English players badly. I'd take him.
16 Mar 2026 12:04:28
I disagree, I think we really need a player like Wharton to replace what Trent did for us. It's true that we also need a ball winner in midfield, somebody more tenacious like a Joao Gomes who can be all action and rotate with Grav, but a passer from deep like Wharton or Stiller is absolutely absolutely crucial for us.
We've seen this season that when Grav and Macca need to make a crucial pass to split the defense, they can't do it. It's not their fault, it's not really their game, but without Trent we need somebody who can do that.
16 Mar 2026 12:12:22
I disagree, I've seen loads of defence-splitting passes from our players this season.
Unfortunately, it's our defence we are splitting as we pass the ball backwards and side to side.
16 Mar 2026 12:37:06
Now we miss Trent?
Actually, I didn't think we would miss him when he left, but I think we do. We simply can't initiate attacks from deep, and we are moving the ball way too slowly up front. Then again, even with Trent, we will be screwed. We totally lack the pace now. Only Frimpong is fast enough.
Gakpo is useless, Wirtz is slow, Salah has slowed down, and is seemingly losing his ability to beat any player. I thought Frimpong and Rio on the other flank was a good line up.
Once they are gone, Spurs have nothing to fear...
On the point of Grav not sitting to protect the defence, I wouldn't think it is his problem. He must have been told to do what he is doing, else, if he is supposed to sit and yet he is not, he will probably be replaced by now.
16 Mar 2026 12:54:31
I, for one, do not want any transfer decisions taken by the trifecta of Slot-Hughes-Richards. Get these lot out and then start rebuilding. A defensive midfielder should be the priority this summer. If no one is available, give a 1-year contract to Claude Makelele. I am sure he would do a better job of shielding our defence than the current lot.
16 Mar 2026 12:58:01
I think we need both, we need a good passer who can open up defences and speed up our transition, but we also need more energy and more competitiveness in midfield.
We need someone who's going to win the battles for us. Someone like Guimaraes.
We're too soft at the minute.
16 Mar 2026 13:04:21
Maybe a Jones replacement?
And still looking at a pro top level DM?
Anyone know if this fallout between Jones and Slot is affecting contract talks? Would Jones be happy to stay more so if Slot goes? Or is it regardless and about playing time etc?
16 Mar 2026 14:08:23
He is definitely an upgrade on McAllister. Damn, he was embarrassing in last night's debacle.
16 Mar 2026 14:25:52
Letstalkabout6baby, nothing new, mate, but everything is pointing to a Slot "sacking" and an interim, more of a when, not if situation.
16 Mar 2026 15:07:26
Great player and would add creativity, but not the midfield priority, unless Gravenberch is going to be told to play CDM again.
If he's not, then the midfield priority should be a Fabinho, Caicedo, Rodri, and, dare I say it, an Alonso-type player. Someone built like a CB that can destroy in the centre and offload the ball quickly when attacking.
16 Mar 2026 15:37:44
Why would we want Wharton we have Wirtz same sort of players i would rather have Elliot Anderson YNWA
16 Mar 2026 17:11:33
Wharton, Macca, Wirtz, all lightweight, slow players of the same kinda profile.
I agree with the majority, we badly need some physical, pacey type players. For me, this would be terrible news and would yet again show they don't have a clue, yet all the fans do.
My money is on Anderson going to United for Casemiro, and United will do a full 360 while LFC are trying to buy players so we pass the ball 1000 times and try to walk the ball in the net.
16 Mar 2026 18:42:57
Wharton is a quiche. We need a steak baguette.
16 Mar 2026 11:03:43
Hi Diddly Ho,
One to maybe back up that Slot may well be done this week, ‘mouthpiece’ journalists tend to have interest link with the club before articles are published. This is the first time one of the top tier ones has questioned support for Slot properly.
James Pearce has put out a piece saying that “Arne Slot is haemorrhaging support.
The boos told him the clock is ticking.”
I don’t have any new ITK knowledge from the past 24 hours but believe me, this is pretty damning in terms of Slot and his immediate position at the club.
Diddly out.
16 Mar 2026 11:44:40
From the same article.... "Slot hasn't reached the point of no return. He could still turn this around, but the clock is ticking."
It's not clicking fast enough to get this disaster out of our great club.
16 Mar 2026 11:49:42
Hey there, Ned!
I was just gonna post a question to the masses.
If we go out to Gala (because I cant see us keeping a clean sheet) and lose away to Brighton on Saturday, you think that could be enough for FSG to take action during the international break before the FA Cup?
I found myself looking at fixtures of Man U, Chelsea, Villa, and then realised it doesn't even matter who they are playing, as we just don't do our job anyway.
What are your own thoughts on this debacle? It doesn't scream everyone together for a bit of lost form or a bad month, which every team has a season of.
16 Mar 2026 12:03:43
Hi Diddly Ho Mighty,
Honestly, after last night's performance, and what others have posted here, I'd be surprised if he was in the dugout on Wednesday.
But yes, the international break would appear to be a good time to make such a big change. My thoughts would be that an interim would be most likely, purely because Xabi does not want to come in mid-season, which the club respects.
I know the interim idea wouldn't go down great with many fans, but any change now would be beneficial. These players aren't being pushed to their limits, nor are they believing in the approach from the current coaching staff. Yes, we (the club) pay their wages and they should perform, but when there is no real strategy on the field/tactics - I'm pretty sure I'd struggle to be at my best too.
16 Mar 2026 12:21:44
Surely, it's about CL qualification, and which decision - Slot out today, during the international break, or at the end of the season - gives us the best chance. I think most would say out today, with an interim until Alonso takes the reins. The compensation to Slot and his staff is insignificant compared to the loss of income from failure to qualify for CL.
16 Mar 2026 12:59:43
He's done in the summer.
He can only rescue this season by winning the CL, but he'll still go.
He doesn't look like he's up for the battle.
16 Mar 2026 03:57:27
Wanted to share some information from a reliable source close to the club and to be straight with you, I'm posting this because the level of misinformation circulating right now is frustrating to watch.
There are a lot of people on these forums and rumour sites presenting guesswork as insider knowledge, and fans deserve better than that. What I'm sharing below comes from an actual source with direct access to the club.
Current situation: Arne remains manager through the end of the season. That hasn't changed regardless of recent results.
Looking ahead to the summer, the hierarchy has a shortlist in place and Alonso is firmly among the leading candidates. Conversations are already underway at some level, though nothing is confirmed or finalised. From what I've been told, Alonso is genuinely interested in the role and sees real potential in the project but he's still weighing his options. The club is prepared to put a competitive package on the table to get this done.
Nothing is set in stone, but the direction is encouraging. Will update if I hear more.
Z.
Don't get this the wrong way, but this is what we have been told repeatedly here, nothing new. Why do you think we are calling for the heads of the gutless Hughes and Edwards? Wages are soaring, tactics and fitness are an eyesore, and we struggle to get much-needed transfers over the line, amongst others. Imagine a world where the Mancs now look upon us to have a laugh. Unacceptable!
16 Mar 2026 05:40:05
To quote Bud Coolidge, "Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead."
16 Mar 2026 06:34:42
You have said exactly what everyone else has said. So please don't make out like you are better than them, it's not a good look. I will stick to listening to Carra.
16 Mar 2026 07:06:10
Appreciate the info, mate, but very much what Carra, Robbo et al have been saying.
16 Mar 2026 07:58:00
Give Zed a break... A few "ITK"s have said Alonso was already signed, or that Slot needs to win the CL, or... or... As a fan, I appreciate any and all info. :)
16 Mar 2026 08:38:12
It's a rumours site. All information is good information.
It's then up to each poster what they want to and do not want to believe.
16 Mar 2026 08:50:30
I'd just like to point out that this poster is not me!
{Ed025's Note - i think we all know that...the real Zed.. :)
16 Mar 2026 08:58:48
I am Zeddicus... No, I am Zeddicus... I am Zeddicus... Great movie that.
16 Mar 2026 09:13:44
I am Keyser Soze. 😁
16 Mar 2026 09:28:55
Zed's lost his head. We're playing that badly, he's got 3/4 usernames arguing with himself on his own posts. 😂
16 Mar 2026 09:32:47
I am the real Zed and so is my wife.
16 Mar 2026 10:11:08
I have been quiet all season but I have had enough of this s***. Something is not right, I would suspect a few players and the manager have to leave ASAP. This squad is too good to be losing to Spurs and Wolves in recent weeks.
Plus, the recruitment needs a good review as well.
If I was in charge, Salah, Gakpo and Slot need to be looked at moving on. Big summer on the horizon, we would need at least a LW, RW, CM, CB.
On the other outs, Robbo has been a great servant, but he is no Milner, so maybe it is time to part ways with this excellent servant to the club. If a decent bid comes in for Jones, I would consider it, but would like him to stay.
Again, a busy summer with lots of incomings. We need a manager to gel the team. Remember Houllier? He brought in a s*** load of new players into LFC and we ended up with the treble!
16 Mar 2026 12:15:41
I have to disagree. As far as I recall, the most popular opinion coming from ITK's, and shared by the community here over the last couple of months, is that Slot was done at the end of the season,
He was basically just working a notice and was told as much back in December, and that Alonso was essentially nailed on.
What's actually happening in the real world goes completely against all of that. If Slot was done he'd already be gone, and if Alonso was a sure thing he'd already be here. Which clearly hasn't happened. What Zedred is saying is the far more likely scenario.
16 Mar 2026 12:23:40
Which misinformation? What you've said is exactly what's being said here and in the mainstream.
In other news, the sun will rise tomorrow.
16 Mar 2026 14:55:34
Based on how some of these reports are written it feels like we're having to beg Alonso to manage us. I'd hope he'd be absolutely desperate for the job TBH rather than having to be convinced. He should be begging us to start him tomorrow TBH. I'd probably give him a game as well. 🤣
15 Mar 2026 23:44:50
Very late good evening gents, but I've been told Slot is unlikely to last until the summer.
Gerrard in talks.
Cheers.
16 Mar 2026 05:14:07
I hope to God you are right.
16 Mar 2026 05:42:58
Gerrard needs help, even on an interim basis.
16 Mar 2026 05:56:51
I'd take Paul Gerrard at this point.
16 Mar 2026 06:24:00
The only person who needs help in a Slot.
16 Mar 2026 06:36:49
If Slot is in the dugout on Weds night, Galatasaray will be licking their lips. The team is adrift, and has been for months.
16 Mar 2026 06:39:18
Not sure Gerrard is the answer, but something has to change!!
It's all way too late though.
16 Mar 2026 06:47:25
I've been one of the ones who has stood up for Slot, but even I can't do it anymore. It's not improving.
I would prefer Alonso or Enrique in as permanent now rather than an interim though.
16 Mar 2026 07:32:12
Gerrard wouldn't be the choice for me long term, but till the end of the season I'm more than happy. Think he will do the basics right, pick players in their right positions and hopefully give the crowd a lift. People who leave it are going to Anfield bored s***less and can't wait to leave at the moment.
16 Mar 2026 07:58:57
For sure, Gerrard would ruffle feathers and get the team fighting. Not a long-term solution, but right now we are watching a death by a thousand cuts.
16 Mar 2026 08:29:27
I just hope Gerrard's ego doesn't overshadow what needs to be done. Hopefully, he can instil a die for the shirt mentality that Klopp created and Slot has destroyed within 12 months.
Can't see us winning Wednesday with Slot in the dugout. But if he loses, that has to be it for him.
{Ed001's Note - at least Gerrard's ego was all about winning and wanting to be the best even in training, which is something we could do with right now.... yes I am looking at you Virgil.}
16 Mar 2026 08:42:25
In this day and age, everyone seems to need a carrot and a stick to motivate them. The what's in it for me brigade.
Not sure what that is for a manager coming in with potentially only 10 games to go.
You'd think the bonus money of qualifying for the CL would spur them on, but again, is a bonus to multi-millionaires really that much of an incentive?
16 Mar 2026 09:18:25
Told you all about Gerrard, as it's been lingering for several weeks. Cheers for confirming it, bud.
16 Mar 2026 09:11:54
Ed001 what is the problem with Gerrard Ed am not talking about his tactics am talking about the man himself that so may people don't like.
{Ed001's Note - he is not known for being a nice person mate. He spent his entire life being told how great he was, so he has developed a bit of understandable arrogance. On the pitch, it made him a great player - but did stop him developing the defensive aspects that would have made him the greatest player we ever had without question and led to him refusing to continue playing on the right for Rafa. To then have him talk constantly about how he would play anywhere for England and happily play on the left for them put people's backs up as well.
Then there were a few incidents, falling out with teammates that meant they left Liverpool as he and Carragher were in control of the dressing room. Some of it was silly, like falling out with Torres as Nando didn't want to go on a lad's night out midweek because he had a newborn baby.}
16 Mar 2026 09:44:49
JL23, I think Stevie would relish the opportunity to manage his beloved club; he was part of it through highs and lows as a player.
Also, his short managerial career hasn't been the best, so imagine he comes in, lights a fire in these players, wins most of his games till the end of the season...
that would definitely raise his status as a manager for a job next season in the Championship or lower teams in the EPL.
16 Mar 2026 09:45:10
Right now I'd welcome Gerrard. I think that managerial ability is less important right now compared to getting some pride and hunger into the players.
16 Mar 2026 10:00:41
Gerrard with Buvac as his assistant, bring Big Sami back to show the team how to defend, and Fowler to show the forwards how to score. 🙂
16 Mar 2026 10:21:39
If anything was going to happen, it would have happened by now. Slot should have been relieved of his duties after the Forest game earlier in the season, when there was some chance of salvaging a title challenge.
We'll get to Wednesday, we'll more than likely fail to beat Galatasaray, and then limp on to the next opportunity to drop points in the league.
At this point, giving Slot more time is beyond negligence and is straight up self-sabotage, as he clearly has no plan on how to fix things and it's evident that he's lost the players.
16 Mar 2026 09:44:08
Ed1, how good do you think he can be if he continues playing on the right? He doesn't strike me as someone who can consistently beat defenders one-on-one, but he can certainly whip a good ball into the box.
I remember when you said that his arrogance stopped him from developing the defensive aspects of his game. At that time, people were always raving about him making hard, crunching tackles and so-called last-ditch tackles. But as you said before, great defenders never need to make last-ditch tackles.
{Ed001's Note - I think he would have been even better than he was because he would have developed the defensive aspects helping to cover his full back and become the best in the world at the time, when he eventually moved central.}
16 Mar 2026 13:53:20
I'd take Klopp as interim haha.
16 Mar 2026 17:16:34
Stevie and Heitinga interim would be ok.
15 Mar 2026 20:17:44
Talks have been held tonight with Stevie regarding an interim appointment ahead of the midweek fixture against Galatasaray.
Big decisions happening tonight. Time could be up for Arne.
15 Mar 2026 22:18:05
Fingers crossed.
15 Mar 2026 23:02:45
Squeeee. One sleep to go!
15 Mar 2026 23:22:31
I hope Hughes is following him.
15 Mar 2026 23:51:04
To quote the song, "Champions League, you're having a laugh!!"
Now back to my poll. Out of 100 this season, where do you put us?
I've revised my number down. It's now 15-100.
I see nothing of any hope. Champions League won't be 5 places, only 4. We are effectively where we will finish.
Awful.
16 Mar 2026 00:00:27
Stevie
Gary Mac &
Gary O'Neil as coaches.
16 Mar 2026 01:59:24
Stevie, King Kenny, that would do for the rest of the season.
Might even get a Wembley trip out of them!!!
16 Mar 2026 02:03:12
The club are not backing Arne Slot, that's b*******. They are playing a waiting game, but enough is enough. That was boredom like I have never experienced yesterday. I cannot describe how bad we were.
Slot Out and Stevie in, please just got the last 10 games or so. 👍
16 Mar 2026 02:30:14
Gerrard needs to get Michael Beale back on his team if he ever wants to achieve anything again in management. He's been badly exposed without him at Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq. Gary O'Neil is head coach at Strasbourg, so he's a non runner for this as well.
16 Mar 2026 03:16:06
Time should've been up 3 months ago, but ok.
16 Mar 2026 03:58:50
Absolute guff. Arne staying till end of season, read my post if you want real info.
16 Mar 2026 06:25:57
ZedRed, change the attitude. Your post has been posted a million times by other trusted sources, so don't suddenly act like the bearer of knowledge. It's a rumour page, and we take them all on.
16 Mar 2026 06:52:47
It's all way too late. We have a decent run-in, so it's salvageable.
I just can't see the club doing this now, when they did nothing when the form was so much worse earlier in the season.
16 Mar 2026 07:57:40
Decent run in?
Villa, Utd, Everton away.
Chelsea at home.
Plus Brentford, Fulham, Brighton and Palace.
Nothing decent about that. Then again, no matter who we would have to play, the way we are currently playing, coupled with so many behind the scenes issues wrt players and the manager, we are going to struggle against these teams.
16 Mar 2026 08:32:05
I am with most of you on the 'coach needs to go' belief, but I am not sure that this is the time to do it, not only because the new coach will be chosen by the two imposters at the top, but making a change so late in the season, with a lot of the players we are relying on now looking to move on in the summer, does not make a lot of sense.
It's obvious that Jurgen's philosophy has now been stripped bare, and we and the players are no longer believers.
In the Edwards v Klopp battle there was only ever one champion among us fans. Now we are witnessing the results of Edwards being in charge of the club.
16 Mar 2026 10:38:10
Bictor Goddam, I can't see this being true or happening. Well, certainly no decision made yet. Slot will see out the rest of his contract, unless he decides to walk.
15 Mar 2026 19:38:38
Hi Ed's, Is there any concern that Szob may not be interested in signing a new contract, or our long term project?
I would see him as the only top player we have this season (thats fit and regularly performs).
Is there anyone coming in for him?
I worry that whilst the big dogs may have written off this season to let slot do as he wills, there may be knock on impacts to the loyalty (? ) of our players to the project.
{Ed001's Note - as far as I know he is looking to stay, no one expects Slot to be in charge next season.}
15 Mar 2026 21:12:05
Captain elect, imho, and one of Slot's many failings is constantly playing Dom, our most high impact, tempo setting player, out of position. He's been a good soldier, all things considered.
15 Mar 2026 21:19:47
And that right there is the big problem right, Ed. Everyone already knows he won't be here next season. How can you expect the squad to stay united and all pulling in the same direction when the future is already uncertain? It's no surprise things look like a mess right now. I never thought I'd see Liverpool Football Club in this kind of state.
15 Mar 2026 22:15:43
Does anyone at the club even want him there now?
15 Mar 2026 22:37:42
Only top player? He's not top at all. How standards have slipped if that's the case.
15 Mar 2026 23:20:57
I agree with Farmer. There has to be some effect on the players' mentality, knowing that they are playing for a manager who's gonna leave soon.
16 Mar 2026 17:13:45
If the players know Slot's leaving, shouldn't they be trying harder to impress a new manager?
Of course, if they were professional, they wouldn't need to.
Some of them are hardly breaking a sweat.
Ngin.
15 Mar 2026 19:12:07
Steven Gerrard wants the job until the summer, Liverpool are insisting Arne Slot is their man. Decision time.
Arne Slot must be sacked.
15 Mar 2026 20:31:46
Is Alonso not available now, or doesn't want a role yet?
15 Mar 2026 20:36:29
And I want to moonwalk, son, but life's a rubbish house.
15 Mar 2026 20:41:52
It shows how bad it is that I would jump at the opportunity.
15 Mar 2026 21:03:19
Who at Liverpool can still be saying Slot is their man? Are they insane? We are truly awful under his leadership. Zero chance he is the guy to turn this around. It's time. The damage is done. He has to leave us now, for the sake of the club.
15 Mar 2026 21:11:39
Get him tomorrow morning, particularly if we're waiting on Xabi for the summer.
15 Mar 2026 21:23:10
Too many managerial mistakes today.
Szob and Frimong were both in the wrong positions when playing alongside each other.
Ekiteke and Writz work well together, and Salah and Szob work well between them too.
So, before the game kicked off, all three were wrong.
Gakpo is never a striker: one week a striker, one week a LW, and in the same game Kerkez is ahead of him while he defends.
I think I can make real money if I bet on us drawing games.
16 Mar 2026 00:07:06
I'm Gakpo's biggest critic. But one of the better ones today. Rio did well. Macca is just so slow. Robbo did well, but should have been off at 60-70 mins. No way can he do 90. That token effort of a header led directly to their goal.
Slot has to go now. I'm so sorry, King Kenny, I promised I wouldn't call for his head. But enough now.
We are desperately bad. I could weep.
16 Mar 2026 09:44:43
Chrisymate, yes Robbo ducked up but so did VVD and sboz.Richarlson was left on his own on four occasions you could see him scoring one goal and alas he did.
I posted yesterday that i may upset some reds.but in my opinion Salah is missing the chances on purpose to get back at Slot your legs go yes but your knack of hitting the target does not go and if you look back on some of his chances even i at 68 would hit the target might not go in but Mo does not even hit the target he may want out and this how he is going about it to force a move. YNWA
15 Mar 2026 19:07:56
Wow, could be a change immediately.
Club are split in two ways on a decision.
Some say wait, others say cut the cord.
A very big decision to be made. No idea where it will go.
Ta.
15 Mar 2026 20:12:48
Carra, would it be Xabi or Gerrard at this point?
15 Mar 2026 20:13:38
Play like that on Wednesday, and the season is definitely over. We will play like that on Wednesday, as it's the only way Slot knows how, and the only way that he wants to.
15 Mar 2026 20:14:56
It would be silly to get rid of Slot now.
Said nobody ever......
15 Mar 2026 20:18:03
Make the change now, we are a mess!!
15 Mar 2026 20:19:35
Thanks, Carra.
I saw that, for the first time, we had tickets available before the game. That's got to be a huge point for the owners, I guess. In my opinion, if the club has decided to sack Slot in the summer, maybe it is better to bring in a new manager now to give him the chance to assess the squad, with the pre-season due to the WC.
I know there is an argument that results might worsen before getting better, but then, even with him in charge and the way things are going currently, getting top 5 feels like a coin toss.

Needs to be a change 2nite, Carra. Anything else is just negligent on the club's behalf.
I take no pleasure in saying that about a man that won the league for us, but we're going absolutely nowhere. I've seen a lot of poor LFC teams through the years, but this is the most spineless.
15 Mar 2026 20:20:45
Good lad, Carra, get in that room for us with a loud out out out.
15 Mar 2026 20:20:48
I'm truly baffled that some want this to continue - there has been zero improvement, and absolutely no signs that it will improve. If there were, then maybe, maybe he should get more time, but ultimately we've been awful for over a year now, and the players don't seem interested.
Do fans really want to see this kind of football? The boos at the end should be a very telling sign of how the fanbase feel, & the board need to act. A new manager bounce might secure the CL spot & the money that will bring in - sack him now & pay compensation or risk losing vastly more...
15 Mar 2026 20:22:00
Just put Stevie in until summer. It's not difficult. If you don't change, we don't get CL. The team are in free fall, playing sideways crab football. It's awful to watch, and we now have the players being booed off at Anfield.
15 Mar 2026 20:22:37
Will we get a Carrick or a Tudor?
15 Mar 2026 20:24:46
Those players aren't going to dramatically improve. Mid March? You can get Stevie in, or even Alonso. The team is underwhelming in key areas. A new man may get a tune out of this team, but look at their fitness, and it's Mid March. I'd welcome a new man in, though. The eyes would then be directly on players earning too much for what they are.
15 Mar 2026 20:26:06
As always, thanks for the Tim-Tams, Carra. I sleep better with you around.
15 Mar 2026 20:27:05
I cannot see how anybody can still be of the opinion that it is better to wait. They should be out the door with him.
15 Mar 2026 20:27:17
They won't pull the trigger before Wednesday, and probably not even then.
We can only hope, though.
If we go out of the Champions League, I think they might pull it. It will probably take that.
15 Mar 2026 20:27:19
It can't get much worse if the cord is cut now. I can see an argument for waiting until the international break, though, but why not go ahead and do it.
15 Mar 2026 20:27:30
Thanks Carra.
15 Mar 2026 20:27:52
Carra,
Who do you think would take over at this stage? Gerrard until the summer, or Alonso in now?
15 Mar 2026 20:29:41
I don't think we'll make a change when we're in 4th and still in the Champions League.
Maybe if we go out against Gala.
15 Mar 2026 20:31:19
Most obvious decision, ever. Visible from space, what has to be done. Stunning incompetence from Edwards, Hughes and presumably Hogan.
15 Mar 2026 20:35:20
Carra, do you know who is not wanting to make the change now?
15 Mar 2026 20:39:54
Let's face it, the season won't change much either way. You can't fix this in a few days, after the obvious damage has been done. I guess the international break? But we probably lose a chunk of the squad regardless.
This season is pretty much unsalvageable.
15 Mar 2026 20:55:01
Lads, it can't be much worse. We need to change. For Slot's own sake, too. The man helped us win a league. He seems like a decent man, but this isn't working. We have too many young players looking at leaving for this to continue.
15 Mar 2026 21:00:57
Thanks, Carra. But who in their right mind is saying wait and see what happens? That's madness. Change needs to happen tonight.
15 Mar 2026 21:01:29
Let's hope it happens tonight.
15 Mar 2026 21:02:12
But would that be before the CL game? During international break?
15 Mar 2026 21:05:28
Split on if he's appointed.
If he works miracles (Carrick at Man Utd), would there be a choice to make that he stays in the role? Personally, I wouldn't want that.
On the other side, 3rd - 4th best player to play for us.
Does his legacy earn him a manager's role to complete status?
In the circumstance of where we are.
Could he be a Carrick or a Shearer?
15 Mar 2026 20:56:00
Anyone who says wait should be cut along with the cord.
Cord that ought to have been cut immediately after the PSV loss last year.
15 Mar 2026 21:07:01
Anyone saying wait needs to go with Slot too. He's sabotaged this season and the decision makers have sat back and allowed him.
15 Mar 2026 21:07:10
Please relieve Slot of his duties tonight. 🤞
15 Mar 2026 21:12:11
Cheers Carra, most of us have our fingers crossed he's gone.
15 Mar 2026 21:28:04
imo he's sacked after the Brighton game.
15 Mar 2026 21:30:06
I would suggest that those who are saying "wait, just watch our games" should let that make up their mind.
Get behind your man when it's a loss of form, not stand by blindly when it's clearly his vision of how he wants to play.
13 months of this, and it's getting worse. It's just not acceptable. What good is waiting going to do? Not going to just change now, is he.
15 Mar 2026 21:40:49
Slot looks lost. The team looks lost. The fanbase is at a loss. Pull the trigger, and give us a chance of salvaging the season. We need a voice, preferably for Wednesday night!
15 Mar 2026 21:41:16
What's to decide?
It's an absolute mess. There's only one course of action, surely.
15 Mar 2026 21:42:17
I don't see them doing it before the Galatasaray game.
We lose that, and, well, one horse (this year's CL) has bolted, hasn't it? Hopefully, we'll close the gate to try and keep the other horse (next year's CL) from escaping.
We win, and I think it's enough for the 'wait and see' camp to triumph for another week.
15 Mar 2026 21:47:52
6 months too late. He hung on until the end of the season. The board have no backbone, they've just let this season drift into nothing, no accountability whatsoever.
15 Mar 2026 21:57:13
We are fifth, two points behind fourth. And we still have to play Man U, Everton, Chelsea, Villa, and Brighton away. Good. Luck. With. That.
15 Mar 2026 21:57:17
We're not 4th, we're 5th.
Couldn't care less if it's Tudor or Carrick, Slot needs sacking.
15 Mar 2026 21:59:27
We're not in 4th place though, Ron.
15 Mar 2026 22:00:16
Cheers, Carra. I would honestly love to sit down and talk to those at the club that think we should wait until the end of the season to sack him. Wait for what exactly? The club's decision-making on the managerial position has been baffling to say the least.
15 Mar 2026 22:02:09
Should've been sacked months ago.
What's different from tonight's result to PSV at home in November of last year?
Or 0-0 at home to Leeds on New Year's Day?
It's incompetence. I've gone past wanting Slot gone, I want Hughes and Edwards gone as well. Disgrace.
15 Mar 2026 22:10:19
Anyone not wanting a change now should be shown the door too.
15 Mar 2026 22:11:47
Look at it this way, maybe. Gala will have watched that so-called performance. They will be confident coming to Anfield. That can't be right?
15 Mar 2026 22:14:49
We're still in the CL as much as Spurs are.
15 Mar 2026 22:56:49
Cheers, Carra. Absolute madness to keep him on. Surely things couldn't get worse with Stevie as an interim.
Slot has had months to turn things around, and nothing has changed, so why give him to the end of the season? Nothing will change.
16 Mar 2026 05:55:27
Problem here is everybody and his dog can see and sense that things are not going well during the game.
We are losing the midfield, and when Spurs had the ball wide, there were 3-4 Spurs players waiting in the middle.
He might be protecting Fimpong, Wirtz and Rio (who did seem to be tiring), midway through the 2nd half.
But, at the same time, he had to win a game first, and what he did is not helping.
I would have brought on Konate and moved Gomez to the right.
That would then get Szobo back to midfield to add the bite.
The moment you chop off your speed on the flank, Spurs were able to start pushing up.
So not only did he simply choose to sit back and hope, he did exactly the reverse of what was needed.
Perhaps Kerkez in front of Robbo?
Whatever, totally sickened by every game I watched.
15 Mar 2026 18:58:58
Come on Carra, please tell me that was the final nail in the coffin.
