Liverpool Rumours 2

06 Apr 2026 09:36:03
Regarding Slot possibly offering his resignation. Appreciate it might be clickbait from an unreliable source but Ron says the board have rejected it so has this rumours got any legs? If so then surely he has given up and is accepting it's over for him. Any thoughts and any point of him staying now?

06 Apr 2026 09:49:49
I presume Ron was being sarcastic, mate.

06 Apr 2026 10:01:19
Yeah, sorry, I probably should have made it clear I was not being serious.
It was a bit of a joke.

06 Apr 2026 10:14:59
Made me smile, Ron. 🤷🏻‍♂️

06 Apr 2026 10:16:18
Just shows the confidence the fans have in Hughes and Edwards when it's not hard to believe they would in fact reject his resignation.

06 Apr 2026 10:20:07
At least, Edwards needs to hang around and build a dynasty with Xabi - which will prove what he's made of, or not. Isak is his elephant in the room.

06 Apr 2026 10:34:42
Isak might be unfit, but it is not nice to call him an elephant. 😆

06 Apr 2026 08:42:26
Not sure if true or not, haven't seen it on the internet and I'm not ITK, but a friend of mine has just said Slot has offered his resignation this morning.

He knows he's lost the players and fans and is ready for a clean break.



Again, take it with a small grain of salt — just what I've been told so thought I'd pass it on.

06 Apr 2026 08:58:48
He will have 4 games left, PSG twice, out of the Champions League, then two league games, with a bad defeat vs Everton being the straw.

06 Apr 2026 09:00:49
Are you mates with IndyKaila?

06 Apr 2026 09:01:00
I've also heard that he has offered to resign at the end of the season with a package deal.

06 Apr 2026 09:05:56
I've also heard that if we lose heavily Wednesday, then it's over for Slot.

06 Apr 2026 09:04:53
Apologies ignore I've just found it, it came from Indykalia sorry to waste your time.

06 Apr 2026 09:08:13
Apologies, I didn't realise it was Indykalia. My friend lives in Chester, I never get rumours, so thought I'd send it through. Now I've seen the origin, I'm going to hide again. 😁

{Ed025's Note - you heard something and passed it on SA there is nothing wrong with that mate..it is a rumours site..

06 Apr 2026 09:15:05
Putting yourself in Arne's shoes, you'd absolutely be having those thoughts, self doubt, and conversations with your bosses, unless you're deluded. Given proximity to PSG, though, I'd think it's not today, or tomorrow, but after the tie now.

06 Apr 2026 09:18:09
The board have turned it down.

06 Apr 2026 09:21:41
Slot will be in charge next season, he's sick of telling everyone it's not his fault.

06 Apr 2026 09:37:35
Racey, I've heard that rumour too.

06 Apr 2026 09:45:34
Would the board turn down a resignation offer? I'm not so sure. As it would mean losing a payout? Also, when someone gets to that point, would you try and convince them to stay, in this particular case?

Again, I don't think it's the 'done thing' in football but I wouldn't totally rule it out.

If he truly felt that way I believe it would be accepted. Just my thoughts. Nothing more. Personally, I haven't heard anything to that end.

06 Apr 2026 09:59:43
Nothing wrong with sharing news, and tbh Indy has had a couple right in the past, but his breaking news bombshell rubbish is on a daily basis, and does get rather boring and cringe worthy.

The It's on here have already said he's going at the end of the season, so he's not telling us anything we didn't already know.

06 Apr 2026 10:01:44
I wasn't being serious.

06 Apr 2026 10:21:01
I honestly think the games against PSG are the games Slot wants to win more than anything. It has taken over his football world, he is infatuated with beating them, and this is what he has based this whole season on.
I think he believes PSG let you play football, so he thinks we can match them and beat them over two legs.

I also think he is dreaming with this team, they will have to produce something we have not seen all season, and I do not think they have got it in them to beat PSG.

06 Apr 2026 10:31:57
I'm running out of popcorn. Can we hold off Slot for a few minutes whilst I get some more.

06 Apr 2026 10:40:28
Man City let us play football and they are not even as good as PSG. How did that go for Arne? Dude is out of his depth, just like Ten Hag. The difference is he took over a successful club compared to Ten Hag, who took over a club in shambles. If Arne Slot doesn't go soon, I don't think I can watch a single game next season.

I never thought I would say that after almost never missing a match for 30+ years now. Nothing can save Slot for me, nothing, not even winning the CL comes close to it (99,99% certain that won't happen anyway). He has destroyed the players' confidence and fitness. Complete fraud imo.

06 Apr 2026 10:53:07
You could read into the fact of Slot goes home to his family on intnl breaks. On this occasion, I would imagine he's had a chat with his Mrs of along the lines, things not going well, maybe it's time to come home.

If he knows the sacks looming, which it must be, he must have said, look, if you want me to go I will, where they have reassured him get chmps lge etc. I get the impression he's given up and wants out.

06 Apr 2026 09:42:29
Thanks Ed025 appreciated, just didn't want to start a frenzy on a dodgy rumour.

Why have they turned it down? The only reason is they don't want an interim, or they don't want a new manager coming in being destroyed by PSG and knocking out the confidence before it's started. If he stays for the PSG games and we lose it'll probably happen after them.

{Ed025's Note - i think he will see out the season SA, there was a magazine programme on sky yesterday and three of the top journalists were adamant that Slot will sign a new contract at the end of the season with Liverpool mate, im not ITK by any means but it surprised me that not one of them was in any doubt he will be here next season...so thats how much i know..

06 Apr 2026 11:52:01
Oh wow ok thanks Ed025. If he does sign a new contract prepare for a meltdown.
I just can't see how he will after this season even if he stays on surely they'll see how next season starts as they won't want to risk more money in case they have to get rid.

{Ed025's Note - it should be fun though mate.. :)

06 Apr 2026 14:09:44
Fun is unfortunately not a word that can be used on anything football-wise at LFC atm. Shame, thought Slot was the successor to the throne, and also that he deserved time, but that ship has left port and sailed over the horizon!

05 Apr 2026 17:11:48
Hi Eds and ITKs,

I get that a managerial change probably won't happen until the end of the season, but I'm curious, are alonso or any other potential targets only waiting till season has finished?

Wouldn't bringing someone in sooner give the new manager a chance to assess the squad and figure out who's needed and who isn't? Or are they hesitant because a few poor results could damage their reputation?

Have we approached someone and are actually waiting till summer because they want more?

Cheers.

05 Apr 2026 17:32:17
Not ITK.

There are so many possible reasons why we haven’t made a change:

If fitness is an issue, that’s going to take 2 months to really turn it around.

Managers/Head Coaches usually need their own backroom staff. Maybe they are under contract elsewhere, or unwilling to start so close to the end of the season.



The number one target might be at another club that won’t release them.

The number one target might want a sabbatical before starting.

Why can’t they assess the squad from afar without being responsible for results?

05 Apr 2026 17:33:20
Respectfully, RTP.

05 Apr 2026 17:34:24
If Slot is sacked, it will be Gerrard until the summer then Alonso.

05 Apr 2026 17:37:56
I imagine Alonso is probably watching our games on the telly and seeing how s**** we are quite easily already.

05 Apr 2026 17:51:01
I can assess the squad from afar but I don't think the EDs will appreciate all the expletives

05 Apr 2026 18:12:37
I don't think the perm solution would be a good idea to start now. If the players are as unfit as we think they are and results don't improve much, there'll be a portion of the fanbase calling for their head before next season even begins.

We should have acted as soon as Alonso became available if he's our man.

05 Apr 2026 18:31:27
Love how people believe the ITKs and 'Carra' - absolutely outstanding!

05 Apr 2026 18:39:53
Who misses Klopp?

05 Apr 2026 19:21:10
I just think that they won't want to get a caretaker in who may come in and do really well, then do they get the manager in they want or stick with someone who has worked with the squad for a few months and got results.

05 Apr 2026 20:49:42
We don't get CL under Slot, that's pretty much a given, imo. New manager bounce is exactly what we need. 4/5 weeks of that, then new manager in summer (if we can't get him now).

Offer Klopp a deal he can't refuse (I suspect something went on behind the scenes that prob makes that impossible), so Gerrard as a temp..... we don't necessarily need a master tactician, we just need a motivator... Play MacAllister as a 6 to defend and help a fragile back 4.... PSG is a free hit....

we aren't beating them over 2 legs..... Key is the last 7 PL games.... that's what matters.

Personal opinion is that someone at the club is giving the press free reign to question Slot and be critical, to try and force him out, or force him to take some sort of severance deal, which he is refusing. I don't think the press would be that critical otherwise, as imo, if they done this without prompting, they wouldn't be allowed ask Qs at press conferences.

05 Apr 2026 21:06:25
The international break was realistically the last window for Arne to be sacked. And, even if yesterday's result changed minds at the club, he would have been gone yesterday. The interim would've been at the club as soon as, to give him the best chance of trying to put a spark up dese players' backsides. It's not done by now, it's not getting done.

05 Apr 2026 23:33:11
Please don't get me wrong, this is in no way a Slot defence post by any means.
.
However, a lot (albeit, not all) of this current squad were around under the Klopp regime. During Klopp's time, we were consistently lauded for fitness and physical performance, and the stats backed this up.

My question is... should the players be taking accountability for their fitness if the current coaching isn't sufficient? Where does accountability for player fitness lie? This is a genuine question, by the way, as I'm genuinely interested.

Surely an elite level athlete can tell when they're not equipped to perform at their best, particularly after being supremely fit and capable of high intensity for a number of years.

06 Apr 2026 00:29:31
I would have thought so, Bill Phabb. If theres a slight drop off in fitness levels, which in fairness id still imagine makes a difference at this level, fair enough, but if its as bad as has been made out on here I just dont see how the players would not be up in arms.

If it was me I would think I would be getting set up to fail and would rum amok, surely the whole squad would be.

06 Apr 2026 00:36:12
Agree to a point, Bill, but Slot doesn't have them playing the sort of high press footy that requires that level of fitness. Even if some of our players were for enough, such as Szob, Wirtz and a couple of others, if they play that way when instructed not to, they just get in the team. I'd guess Slot has them working more on the technical side, but we're just not that sort of club and don't have those sort of players.


Said it when Pep Ljinders was our coach and I'll say it again now - we shouldn't be trying to be a poor man's City playing an inferior version of Pep-ball. Klopp gave the club its culture and identity back, the current regime have ditched it and it's showing.

06 Apr 2026 01:15:36
I don't think many managers would have this team trying to play high press. They can't do it. When they do press, it's half-hearted at best. I agree Klopp gave the club its culture and identity, but I don't agree we're not that kind of club that can play more technically.

If we were winning, playing that way, no one would have a problem. Let's face it, Alonso is gonna play technical football. The mentality of the players we bring in is going to be just as important as that of the managers.

06 Apr 2026 07:12:55
Alonso may getting us playing technical football .. all very well and good. Buttoned thing for sure is he will get the team working and pressing again. Can it be fullness for 90? Course it can't. There are times to sit back, absorb pressure, etc.

But wasn't one of the big reasons the toxic club Madrid players wanted him out for was the fact he wanted to train them hard and get them working ..

along with a culture of respect ... he may not be the messiah .. but I for one would love to see my time looking like they are playing for something and not just a light hearted kick about in the park with mates... if Slot continues we are going to remove the goal posts .. put down some t shirts as posts and play skins v tops!

06 Apr 2026 10:06:09
Class mighty, but the way we are going, it will be 5 shots and in.

06 Apr 2026 10:33:27
Mac as a 6 against PSG would see them score several.

05 Apr 2026 15:32:46
Hi all,

The club are not impressed with Szoboszlai's antics towards away fans after yesterday's match. Word has been taken up with the player and the squad have now been fully advised about not rocking the boat further with the travelling fans. Explains Virgil's comments about giving up.

Troubling times at the club at the minute. I do not envy the PR team.

05 Apr 2026 15:53:30
How about they avoid rocking the boat further by simply sacking Slot?

05 Apr 2026 15:59:19
I think it was an absolute disgrace, Vic. What was he playing at?

He's been going at the fans for a few weeks now, wasn't so long ago he was almost embarrassed to celebrate the league title in front of the Kop because he probably felt like he didn't contribute much.



Now he's acting like Billy big balls coz he's the best player in a terrible terrible team. Souness would've slapped him, I'm sick to death of these lot.

05 Apr 2026 16:04:14
Vic, ...

What do the club do when the crowd starts becoming vocal... cheering for another name... Slot for Holland... or walking out early... or even a few cards which the TV will definately pan onto...?

It's all very head in sand, and let's deal with that later...



Only one person will get asked questions, and that is Slot... as much as I don't want him coaching us... bit of a rancid situation to put him in every week... I know the football he gets us to play is rancid... but all the same.

05 Apr 2026 17:13:35
A player who has given his all this season is allowed to voice frustration with fans.

Fans are fed up (and as one I certainly am), and trying in some way to let the powers that be know and understand this. We absolutely need a change and we have to let them know this for the sake of the club.

But at the same time Szobo probably doesn't like fans leaving/singing another manager's name, thinking it goes against supporting the team.

Which it is.

Both sides have valid points and opinions.

So I would lay off him for this personally. I love his passion. I prefer him as he is and not some sheep. Team player.

05 Apr 2026 19:06:27
It wouldn't be odd for Alonso to want his kid to finish a school year without disruption. The next move will be for 3 + years, and there is no rush.
Edwards will get to work with his first choice, and hopefully build a new legacy akin to Klopps.

05 Apr 2026 20:05:30
"But at the same time Szobo probably doesn't like fans leaving/singing another manager's name, thinking it goes against supporting the team."

Sorry Davey, but I simply don't agree with that.

Fans give their time, money and emotion to support their clubs. Apart from anybody who volunteers at the club, everybody else involved from playing staff to CEO has either a contractual obligation or financial interest in the club. Fans don't take a wage or a financial benefit, they give.

If a fan feels like they've seen enough at 4-0 and wants to head home, so be it.

Don't get mardy with the fans. Try giving some to your teammates who aren't tracking a runner or doing their job properly.

As for the chants - that's football. Put your big boy pants on and get over it.

Frankly, he should have been grateful there was a single fan left to apologise to after that surrender of a second half performance. He's shown excellence this year, but he's also shown some breathtaking arrogance.

05 Apr 2026 20:28:59
Szob, imo does believe the hype around fans saying he's the best player. I'm not arsed if he doesn't sign a new contract, imo he's part of the problem, big time. Charlie, Tara lad, you're not that special. Really poor man's Gini.

05 Apr 2026 21:05:33
It's Zidane who's rocking the boat.

05 Apr 2026 21:09:49
In my opinion, yesterday anyone part of that team or coaching staff yesterday that was either surprised or angered by the travelling fans leaving early are living in cloud cuckoo land.

06 Apr 2026 02:16:16
This arrogance towards the fans is the worst thing about this club. Sadly, a lot of it comes from other fans still stuck in the days of paying £10 a ticket, where the average PL player wasn't earning 200 times more than the average fan, and where supporting a team actually meant that.


When fans are paying £80 a ticket, they can cheer or moan when they damn well please, and the players should show gratitude towards them regardless.

06 Apr 2026 03:21:15
Even the commentator said, "Szoboslai looks like he has given up and isn't bothering to track back," after the third goal went in. If Dom had already mentally left the stadium, he can't blame the fans.
Scored some worldie free kicks but gives up when the going gets tough. Sounds like prime Real Madrid material.

06 Apr 2026 09:00:24
I love how quickly people rewrite history. Dom has one moment of humanity where he shows frustration at fans leaving 30 minutes early, and now he's prt of the problem and a poor mans Wijnaldum?

He's been our best player this season by a mile is is arguably the best midfielder to play for us since Steven Gerrard. Last week people wanted him as the next captain! I agree with Dom by the way, fans walking out early is a disgrace regardless of the score line or performance. We can't profess to be the best fans in the world and have the audacity to sing You'll Never Walk Alone if we think it's okay to abandon the team with half an hour left on the clock. If a handful of people leave 5 minutes early on a midweek game because they have a train to catch, fair enough. But a lunchtime kick off on a Saturday? If you left early you didn't deserve a ticket in the first place.

I do think Szoboszlai should have walked away as you cannot properly convey your thoughts with arm gestures and facial expressions. However I remember a man who about 10 years ago called out our fans for leaving early when the team were losing. That man was Jurgen Klopp, arguably the best figurehead this great club has had since Bill Shankly. Maybe some of you think you know better than Jurgen and think walking out virtually en masse is totally acceptable? Simple fact is, it's not. You're supposed to be a supporter. If you are in the stadium on matchday, you support for the full 90 minutes. It's really that simple. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut during the YNWA song because your words are hollow and empty anyway. You certainly don't go singing another managers name, that is a complete and utter disgrace. I want Slot sacked as much as anyone, but when I go to the games, for 90 minutes I am fully behind every single person representing our team.

I think maybe our fans (they don't deserve to be called supporters) need to have a long hard look at themselves. Talking about arrogance from Dom? Arrogance is fans thinking you have a god given right to win games and win trophies. Arrogance is not a footballer thinking the crowd should support the team through thick and thin.

I've no problems with supporters venting frustrations online or after full time in the pub. That's part of why we all love football, but on match day for god sake get behind the team. What would you all be behaving like if you were in Ed025's shoes and had been watching Everton flounder for the last 30 years? Maybe the blues are the better half of the City.

06 Apr 2026 09:46:19
Good post, MK Scouser
Agree fully. Rather than leaving with 30 minutes left, get behind the players and sing your heart out. Yes, the football is at times turgid, but you support your team through the good times and the not so good. Get back to being the twelfth man.

{Ed001's Note - people doing that is why Slot is still here. They back him until the crowd turns.}

06 Apr 2026 10:12:08
MK, on a basic level I agree with you, mate, but I think you've got this particular one wrong.

Like you, I would never, and have never, left a game early. I also completely agree if you're there you support them with all you can.

That being said, football fans can only ever air their grievances with their feet or their voices. That isn't a Liverpool thing, that's just how it is football wise, whether you like it or not. This has happened at every club at some point, and to think otherwise is a bit disingenuous.

This isn't about a team not winning. It's about a team seriously underperforming and, perhaps far more importantly, a perceived couldn't be bothered attitude from the playing staff.

In that context you cannot blame some fans wanting to air those frustrations. I don't agree with it, but I understand it.

The point with Dom is he was taking a pop at the fans who stayed. That's a shocking way to react to fans who did stay and did offer their support. He wasn't having a go at those that left. It's incredibly naive at best.

We are talking about a guy who ballsed a needless backheel up to gift a goal earlier in the season. Who followed up the team's dog turd of a performance against Wolves with a brainless social media post re Vini J. Now this.

I think Dom is a baller and he has everything to lead this team, but he hasn't gone about showing it the best way this season at times.

06 Apr 2026 10:32:55
Think this is the first apparent mis-step Dom has had at the club. And, for many, it's curtains for him.

That is pretty fricking ridiculous if you ask me.

06 Apr 2026 10:53:52
Wassa, to me it just felt as though he was trying to send a message to the fans in general. I think he went the complete wrong way about it. Like you say, the fans who had stayed were not to blame for those who had left and also you cannot read body language well enough from a distance to know what he was trying to say anyway. I think he should've put himself forward for the interview after the game and directly called out the people who left 30 minutes early. The backheel was a crazy mistake, but at the same time many of us football fans bemoan the fact that the game has lost characters and flair. We miss the likes of Begkamp, Cantona, Ronaldinho etc who would entertain us. Yet now when a player tries something and gets it wrong we all lose our minds? We can't have our cake and eat it, surely.

We got smashed 4-0 at the weekend and everyone seems more preoccupied with Ekitike swapping shirts and Dom being upset at fans leaving early. Two of our better players this season by the way. It just feels like misdirected anger to me, and when people love their club, the emotions can be very raw and quite ferocious when we're hurting as much as we all are this year. So I get it, but it doesn't mean I agree with it.

Ed001, I take your point and it is a very good point well made, but I just don't think it should be the crowds responsibility to get a manager sacked by walking out or singing to replace the manager. If Hughes and Edwards are so incompetent that they need the crowd to show them when Slot is failing, then they need to be sacked too. The crowds are there to support the team and create an atmosphere. I don't mind people booing at full time even. I wouldn't do it personally, but if you feel let down as a supporter, by all means voice that at full time. I just don't think people should be leaving with a third of the game left, nor should they be singing Gerrard's name at Arne Slot during the game. We all love a rant with our mates or on social media, but when it becomes that direct it starts to border on the line of what's acceptable in my opinion. I don't think it's too dissimilar to messaging players on their private social media accounts to give them grief in the stadium. They're still human regardless of how rich and famous they are.

{Ed001's Note - I know Edwards and Hughes should be sacked, they should never have been appointed, but the crowd need to turn for FSG to see that.}

06 Apr 2026 12:33:45
Regardless of the fans showing their dissent. Surely, the owners can see from the results and performances something is not right. If they can't see this, then there are bigger concerns. Do clubs have a team who monitor social media, such as this site?

05 Apr 2026 14:47:44
Not a rumour per se but more confirmation.

I was at the game yesterday with my mate who is part of the LFC media team. He also writes for the Athletic. We were talking about journalists that seem to have connections to the club. He laughed and said they only get told what we want them to know, half the time it's just PR.

He was also saying, from what he has seen at the training ground, Slot has lost a lot of players and that's been the case for a few months. The so called ITK journalists were told not to mention this but paint it as if it ain't the case.

That kinda confirms, what we all know about journalists. 😂

05 Apr 2026 15:07:51
Cheers, Thefields. 👍

05 Apr 2026 15:15:55
Why are we keeping a manager who has lost the dressing room?

It isn't being patient or unreactive from Edwards and Hughes. It's negligence and incompetence.

Bring in Gerrard or Postecoglou please to try and save something of this season. Can't believe they have been begging for a fifth place spot. That's all I'm asking for.

05 Apr 2026 15:16:51
Thx Fields, ..

I think the saying is buckle up and enjoy the ride ... in terms to the end of the season...
But .. I think it's more the case of ..

Get your pillows ready, gents, and enjoy the snooze.

Set alarms for June.

05 Apr 2026 15:27:18
I just hope the club don’t regret keeping him til the end of the season. The fanbase aren’t daft, we can see the drop off and know even an interim would do better and he’s just not the guy. Last season looks more a fluke than ever now.

Just hope PSG don’t embarrass us rather than thinking of us getting stuck in to them.

05 Apr 2026 16:00:05
About the only explanation for keeping Slot until end of the season, given performances & if he's lost the players, is they already have an agreement with someone to take over in the summer & they don't want to get a caretaker manager in.
This might be 1. They think changing hurts the team's chances of getting CL football or 2.

They don't want to risk getting a caretaker in who's then successful, which puts pressure on them to hire him full time.
I'd say little chance of us getting CL with Slot there, given what we are seeing, so roll the dice, take a chance.

05 Apr 2026 16:17:54
I think some of these very rich footballers that play for our Legendary Club have got two eyes on the forthcoming World Cup in the USA, so they can flash their fangs with actors and rappers for their Insta fans.

On another note, did anybody see Mo Salah aiming to miss every time he had half a chance? What a bunch of absolute clints. I'm glad I don't pay to watch them. I'm starting to take an interest in Ice Hockey.

05 Apr 2026 16:36:30
Thanks, TheFields

That's a total slap in the face of us fans if true...

We have eyes, and we can see what is going on.

We've been saying that the players aren't playing for him for ages now, we can all see that the players have downed tools.

Yet they want to paint rosy pictures...

We are not idiots, so don't take us for idiots.

06 Apr 2026 10:01:12
I am not sure the players have given up, I just believe some are not good enough and some are no longer the force they were and can no longer play at the same level.
We matched or even bettered City on Saturday, before Virgil dangled out a leg and gave away a penalty. Our problem all season has been not taking our chances, in days gone by Salah matched Haaland's goals contribution. He missed a penalty and 3 good chances.
It's not just Mo. We have lost 9 of the 15 games that Mama has started.
We can't stick or twist, as soon as teams attack us, we don't have the steel to defend. Grav was out of the game as soon as he was booked. And don't get me started on the "Scouser" in our team.
Slot isn't good enough, but neither are a lot of these players, players who lost their way in Klopp's last 10 games in charge.

Nobody remembers Klopp dropping Konate and rotating others. Atlanta came to Anfield and won 3-0. A piss poor Utd team drew against us in the league and then beat us in the cup.
We didn't play outstanding at the start of last season. We just had a Salah, Jota, Dias and Gakpo taking our chances. Our defensive frailties were on show last yr, PSG could have had a cricket score against us only for Allison in the away leg. Everton and Utd came from behind to nick a draw and win in extra time. Newcastle bossed us in a one sided cup final.
Klopp's team has virtually gone and we've just got to suck it up and find a way to get behind the lads wearing the badge we love.

06 Apr 2026 11:00:16
Jlc, all clubs have a PR/media team that do that kinda thing all the time. You would be surprised at half the crap that goes on. 😂

05 Apr 2026 11:07:09
Arne Slot won't be leaving Liverpool before the season ends.

Ta.

05 Apr 2026 11:19:02
That's a real bad decision in my opinion. Thanks for the update, Carra.

05 Apr 2026 11:21:00
Cheers, Carra.

Seems the bet by Hughes and Edwards to achieve the floor, CL qualification, with Arne Slot is locked in.

05 Apr 2026 11:24:43
Thanks, Carra. Appreciated as always.

05 Apr 2026 11:30:09
That Carra news is just as good as an Easter egg.... 👍

05 Apr 2026 11:33:31
I would take the punt and part company now.

05 Apr 2026 11:33:55
That's an absolute disgrace. The hierarchy are just as responsible for this as the manager.

Thanks for the update though, Carra.

05 Apr 2026 11:38:47
I'm going to the Palace game, and I haven't been able to go to a league game for 7 years because of demand, and even all the dross I've seen, I've always looked forward to games, and this time it's different, but I will still go and hope for a win.

05 Apr 2026 11:40:31
He better be leaving when it does end. I'm sure the damage will be done by that point though.

05 Apr 2026 11:43:15
Prats.

05 Apr 2026 11:43:19
Thanks Carra. It's a real shame how this season has gone both on and off the pitch. But I can only assume that FSG have already done what needs to be done and everyone is on board with that. What I don't like about the situation is how the players have reacted. Fans help pay the wages of these high earners, and the least we all expect is for them to put a s*** in, that mentality monsters mind set has been lost. I hope we can close the season out with CL, but I just don't see it with the existing coach and players. Real shame, if I am the players I am taking a long hard look at myself in the mirror and I am asking myself what would everyone of those fans in Anfield give to be where I am? Most of us would play for free and at least show some passion. I would like to see the fire in belly over the last few remaining games, press, run, fight like it's your last ever game.

Give us that and you will never walk alone, don't and we will question why you wear the shirt and we will be vocal in doing so. Nothing wrong with the players, they are all good enough. What I don't like about question is why they have suddenly gone from believers to doubters. Most of them worked under Klopp, the standards were set. To us on the outside it looks like you have down tools and that is inexcusable in my world. I truly hope we can get behind the team in the last games and I would like to think they will have a long hard look at themselves and give their best. For the first time in 45 years of following this amazing club and unique family I am just not convinced. Have a great Easter fellow reds.

05 Apr 2026 11:54:31
Thanks, Carra. Looks like I'm in for bad sleep until May. We can only hope that the players can turn this around. YNWA.

05 Apr 2026 11:55:07
You mean? "If he loses his next game"

He's Not gone? 👀 No way.

05 Apr 2026 11:33:27
Stevie G would bring some bounce and 'could' jam a CL win through cheerleading, the energy of the crowd and new manager syndrome. i'd go for that rather than watching us limp out of the CL.

Slot is lost in this league, as in fact are all Dutch managers.

05 Apr 2026 11:36:34
Thought as much. Hughes and Edwards are incapable of making the correct decision, for fear of making a change that costs us and therefore reflects badly on them. So, instead, they maintain and hope, despite all evidence pointing in the complete opposite direction.

For supposedly data driven men, this is a strange approach. Edwards is clearly out of his depth, he left when Klopp received more power, but now he has essentially full power he freezes and does nothing. He is stationed beyond his capabilities, easier to make decisions when the ramifications are minimal, when they are significant you need someone with the balls to make the right but tough decisions for the good of the club, rather than themselves.

The lack of Champions League football next season will have a disastrous affect on our ability to operate next season, it will help us lose under performing players (Macca) but we will struggle to entice high level ones. If Hughes and Edwards use the lack of Champions League money as an excuse to not spend in the summer window, then I will genuinely throw hands.

It is honestly incredible, after Klopp spent 8 years building Liverpool up to the powerhouse he eventually left us with. It took 2 years for Hughes, Edwards and Slot to rip it to shreds until it is nigh unrecognisable. Now, that is an achievement in itself.

05 Apr 2026 11:57:22
They'd best be prepared for how toxic it's going to get. Both after PSG send us out of the Champions League, going the rest of the season without a win.

05 Apr 2026 12:12:52
Thanks for the update, Carra.

Utterly predictable from this cowardly, incompetent and arrogant board.

And they've got the nerve to put ticket prices up.

05 Apr 2026 12:15:23
Good one, Carra, but...
April Fools was 5 days ago.

Jokes aside. Has Slot lost the dressing room completely?
If so, surely a change now is better than it turning even uglier than it already is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Happy Easter to all. 👍🏼

05 Apr 2026 12:31:05
I'm sorry to say that Slot will be in charge at the start of next season too. All these posts about Alonso etc, etc, are way off the mark.

The only way Slot goes is if Anfield is empty for the next home games, and that won't happen, will it?

Really unbelievable, and disappointing situation.

Enjoy those chocolate eggs - Happy Easter!!

05 Apr 2026 12:37:05
I get the impression he'll still be at Liverpool next season, that's why Mo is leaving. Sad days for LFC if that's the case.

05 Apr 2026 12:39:27
That's really depressing.

05 Apr 2026 12:41:51
Safe to say I won't be watching any more tripe then until next season. Either our owners still don't get football and the club, and back to making stupid decisions, or they are happy to de-value the club and transfers if we don't make Champions League position.

05 Apr 2026 12:46:15
I'm of that opinion as well, KBL - I think he stays on until next season - gets the first 10 games.

05 Apr 2026 13:01:56
I think that could be a mistake. It's getting pretty bad now, the situation between fans and club.

05 Apr 2026 13:01:59
Madness. Tossing Champions League next season.

05 Apr 2026 13:17:34
Forgetting the Champions League, there are 3 very bigger games coming one after another: Man Utd, Chelsea, Villa, not forgetting the Derby. Get everyone on the treadmills and Red Bull sharpish.

05 Apr 2026 13:23:59
This confirms something, in my opinion, the hierarchy have made peace with the possibility of no UCL next season. But I wanna ask, if Slot gets sacked because of his poor performance, does he forfeit his remaining pay or does he still get paid?

05 Apr 2026 13:37:42
Any chance FSG can sell? They and their little minions have destroyed this club. Klopp was the one who put them on a pedestal.

05 Apr 2026 13:42:37
I think once Wednesday has come and gone, a lot of the fans are gona be flat and not arsed. They should just promote a youth coach or something. It's going to be a tedious end to the season.

05 Apr 2026 13:56:49
Any thoughts about next season are just guesswork.
There will be a thorough review at the end of the season. Until then, all decisions are on the table and all are pending.

05 Apr 2026 14:03:41
Europa League next season then. FSG need sacking.

05 Apr 2026 13:50:28
Frode Kippers that is the most ignorant comment I think I've ever read on here. FSG gave us Klopp, all the players that went with him, invested in Anfield and the new training complex. Under their leadership we won number 6 then number 20.

Destroyed the club? The club was weeks away from near bankruptcy when they took over now its one of the most valuable in the world. Give your head a wobble.

05 Apr 2026 14:34:43
We survived for a season under Klopp without CL.
I still think we'll make top 5.
One season out of CL won't destroy the club, but it will lead to changes.

05 Apr 2026 14:41:17
Nice one, Carra.

05 Apr 2026 14:52:31
Frode Kippes' comments could make the most positive person turn negative.

05 Apr 2026 15:44:45
Thanks, Carra. I can only guess this also means Hughes and Edwards will also be walking away, as anyone with a long term commitment to the club would be making sensible decisions right now.

All we can do is hope we manage to finish top 5 as there is absolutely no way we are winning the CL.

05 Apr 2026 15:56:50
I mean this with absolute politeness but didn't you say he was gone by January?
I genuinely appreciate the information you provide.

05 Apr 2026 16:44:24
Imagine a thorough review at season end where they come to the conclusion that the manager lost the dressing room, we should have replaced him during the season.

The toxic environment just worse, and time went on, fans are disconnected from the club, fans are fighting with the players, players fighting with the fans, players have more time off from training than actual training, a manager who leaves the county at any opportunity, an unused academy - well, he couldn't have even been bothered to attend a function setup for him...and so much more.



Are you telling me that achieving CL football next season trumps everything else that has gone wrong with the club????

05 Apr 2026 17:13:09
You're positive Hesselback potatoes?

06 Apr 2026 04:15:30
"... Cowardly, incompetent and arrogant board." Really?

04 Apr 2026 15:14:49
Just been talking to a lad I know who is close to one of the coaches in the Liverpool youth set up. He's just told me Slot will not be sacked before the end of the season and that is now the absolute official position of the board regardless of how bad the displays and results are. They still think he can get CL football next season one way or another and if he does there is a good chance he will be offered a new contract.

This is all you will get out of the club. They are adamant Slot is he right man for the job long term and he is going no where. This is devastating to hear. He's destroying the team one game at a time. Why do the powers in charge think he's doing a good job?

04 Apr 2026 16:06:29
Funny we always seem to have a mate who knows someone who works at the club, strange ain't it. 🙄 🙄 🙄

04 Apr 2026 16:06:41
No decisions have been made, until decisions are made at the end of the season, the official position is to back the manager.

04 Apr 2026 16:18:37
If this is correct, then I will not be watching or supporting the club based on that. I certainly don't feel I will be the only one, but, sorry, I cannot support this when it's glaring to see Slot is not the man.

04 Apr 2026 16:19:20
There's absolutely not a hope in hell they'll offer Slot a new contract.

04 Apr 2026 16:22:05
I can well believe it. I never want a coach to be sacked as it means the team is failing, but I worry things won't get better with this set up off the pitch, and I include the directors in that.



Equally, I don't think this group of players care enough, or fight enough when it gets tough. I also think Arne struggles to lift them. It's a bad place to be.

04 Apr 2026 16:22:09
I cannot believe this. I won't believe it. Appreciate the share, but regardless of management, we are still owned by the same group that removed others performing better than this. The only reason he hasn't been sacked already is last year's title.

04 Apr 2026 16:23:10
Literally no way this is true.

04 Apr 2026 16:24:06
I've given up watching and hoping for some positive good play this season. Looks like next season is a write off as well, if we're sticking with this clown!

04 Apr 2026 16:39:52
That's not true.

04 Apr 2026 16:48:52
FSG won't be happy once their prized asset loses its value. Utter madness keeping the Slot rot at the club.

04 Apr 2026 17:01:59
Totally agree, or why did they halt new contract talks in November last year.
FSG are not stupid, they know Alonso will not hang around forever, so, like in all businesses, they have made plans a while ago. They are not going to come out and say Slot is leaving in the summer as that would undermine him and leave him no authority over the players.

04 Apr 2026 17:04:06
Good for the owners. They've destroyed the club this season too.

04 Apr 2026 17:04:54
What's happening now is very similar to the end of David Brents' reign.
Alonso is coming.

04 Apr 2026 17:07:28
Way to go, Bazz - almost like you came up with YNWA yourself. 🙄

04 Apr 2026 17:22:50
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Another itk. 🙄

04 Apr 2026 17:40:43
Thing is, to get Champions League you have to start winning games. How's that worked out over the last 4 games? PSG are going to wipe the floor with us.

04 Apr 2026 17:52:34
Travelling over from Ireland next weekend for the Fulham game, and I've never ever felt like I've wasted money like I do right now. The "Spice Boys" are back.

04 Apr 2026 18:01:49
It's funny how mates at the club always back the position that posters have taken for most of the season.

Depressed? You'll find a mate at the club to back your position.

Optimistic? You'll find a mate at the club to back your position.

IKFA? You'll find a mate at the club to back your position.

04 Apr 2026 19:00:41
Tin foil hat moment. Could they be looking to sell the club and don't want Slot's termination fee on the books pre sale?

I highly doubt it, but there is no reason to keep this man in a job.

04 Apr 2026 19:29:56
Thing is, if he was going to be sacked, it would have been straight after the match. The fact it's not happened suggests that Slot is here for the rest of the season come hell or high water. Which means we are screwed.

04 Apr 2026 19:57:32
It's too late for April Fools.

I can believe he won't get sacked before the end of the season, but the club surely can't be looking to renew his contract given the poor results, form, and clear loss of support from the fans.



It's clear that he has lost the dressing room too, but a decision was needed much earlier, and fear it's too late to get anything from this season.

04 Apr 2026 20:22:07
Fully believe Slot will be our coach still next season. Genuinely can't believe it, but if you don't sack a Liverpool coach after losing at Anfield 3-0 to Palace, 3-0 to Forest and 4-1 to PSV, you're never going to get a better time to sack him.



My money is on him eventually being removed when things don't improve significantly next season, around November time, a year too late.

04 Apr 2026 20:27:59
That's what I think too, Wirtz Nightmare, by which time Alonso won't be available and we then make a panic appointment. And, question to the "there's loads left to play for" crowd. Is there still loads to play for? Cause, from here it looks like season is well and truly over.

04 Apr 2026 21:13:37
Agree VV, but I'm not too worried about Alonso, never been 100% sold on him and there could still be some other interesting options out there, potentially Hoeness and Nagelsmann. Alonso himself may still be an option anyway, as have a feeling City may go for Maresca if Pep goes.

My main issue is, I haven't just totally lost any excitement about upcoming Liverpool games, I've begun to actively dread them.

In 33 years of watching Liverpool, even including the dark Hodgson days, I've never felt so despondent about Liverpool Football Club. And I'd come to terms with this for the remainder of this season but the thought it will carry on into next season too is down-right demoralising. It's absolutely gutless from Hughes, Edwards & FSG.

05 Apr 2026 00:59:56
To be fair, if and when FSG make strategic decisions about the future of its nullified billion asset, the first people they are likely to tell are the kids who coach the Youth squad. This is a rumours site.

04 Apr 2026 14:41:32
Carra, Robbo, The Fields or other ITK's, is he getting sacked tonight? I'd sleep so much better if he's gone. This is now too painful to accept. Where has our Liverpool FC gone?!

04 Apr 2026 15:28:07
Pretty sure we're past the point of it happening this season. Just have to put up with us playing garbage football til it's over and hope they make a decision in summer.

04 Apr 2026 15:28:41
The ITKs said there's an agreement he goes at the end of the season. So, he won't be sacked now.

04 Apr 2026 15:30:16
Not happening, fella.

7 league games, 2 Cup games to go...

04 Apr 2026 15:30:32
He ain't getting sacked, unfortunately, we've got to keep putting up with this s***.

04 Apr 2026 15:34:41
Why would they sack him? We're winning the Champions League.

04 Apr 2026 15:37:12
No hope of a sacking before the PSG game.

04 Apr 2026 15:42:06
Hope so, but I can't see it happening till after the second leg with PSG. But it's so late now, most likely got to stick it out till the end of the season and hope the board do the right thing in summer.

04 Apr 2026 15:43:30
I swear this post is copied and pasted every game we have.

04 Apr 2026 15:45:27
It's beyond painful watching us roll over and collapse each week!

Can't see any benefit in keeping this clown for a day longer.

04 Apr 2026 15:46:13
I know Slot has been the main reason for this demise, but the players need to take some responsibility too. Absolutely shocking from 1-11 throughout the season. Been getting away with it due to Slot taking all the heat. Absolutely demoralizing. Dread watching LFC games and not looking forward to the pain on Wednesday.

04 Apr 2026 15:52:50
Absolutely no fight whatsoever!! We looked OK until the penalty, then crumbled and gave up.
God help us against PSG.
I'm in the Xabi camp, but if Stevie comes in till end of the season I'm all for that. What is there to lose?

04 Apr 2026 15:56:05
I know they think having an intern at this time won't be a good idea, but surely it can't get any worse than this reincarnation of Hodgson time?

{Ed001's Note - I think an actual intern could do a better job at the moment!}

04 Apr 2026 15:56:16
We will finish behind Everton if he stays.

04 Apr 2026 15:57:25
Woeful performance once again. No idea why they didn't sack him during the international break.

04 Apr 2026 15:58:35
I don't get why they've allowed him to continue. I think most could see he's been out of his depth for a while (even though you hoped he would turn it around). For me, it's shocking that the board have allowed this to continue!!! At least with a temp manager you get a bit of a lift/bounce even if it doesn't work out...

04 Apr 2026 16:03:14
It's gone like this, you got a Hughes and Edwards employing a clown who keeps telling them it's injuries, it's bad luck, it's too many games, to them, then telling FSG, Henry and co it's all improving next season when our players are not injured and our luck comes back. They have not noticed lost 11 so far, and are out of every competition, convincingly and beaten easily.

Clearly the fans mean nothing to FSG because their clear lack of football knowledge this season is obvious. Through self preservation, Hughes and Edwards have completely pulled the wool over FSGs' eyes and spun a line similar to a Labour party manifesto. Slot still being here is on FSGs' own stupidity.

04 Apr 2026 16:03:16
Predictable, inevitable, outclassed, outplayed, we all knew this would be the result before kick off. PSG will be the same. Enough has to be enough. We need to start preparing for next season now. He has to go...

04 Apr 2026 16:04:34
Look at the brighter side, Lee. This will build up your pain taking and endurance strength.

04 Apr 2026 16:11:10
Thought we looked great for 30 minutes today. Such a shame it turned to s***. Slot is here until the end of the season, together with his coaching staff. I don't believe, though, if he gets CL football, he will be kept.

We didn't back him in January, as I think the trust had wavered by then, and I don't see us backing him for another season.

04 Apr 2026 16:17:20
Also no hope of getting past the PSG game...

04 Apr 2026 16:23:05
I'm at the point where I'm hoping FSG step in and remove the LFC Board, to be honest.

04 Apr 2026 16:27:37
I hate this attitude we seem to have of 'stick by the manager'. There's a time and a place for that. Football's changed. If it doesn't work, you cut ties and move on.

04 Apr 2026 16:30:19
The players just aren't great despite what fans want to believe, and have no fight in them when things go against them. Fragile mentality, fair weather footballers who need to share the blame.

04 Apr 2026 16:33:20
Same as every other loss, he won't be sacked today or at the end of the season.

04 Apr 2026 16:29:05
Frode kippers you have more chance of seeing a bobbies horse crap than see us win champions league.

04 Apr 2026 16:37:03
Abz, the players stopped playing for him months ago. A fish rots from the head, but that analogy falls apart because fish have spines. If only someone had had the foresight to sign Guehi and Semenyo. This absolute shambles is in danger of getting toxic.

If Ekitike and Szoboszlai lose faith in club leadership and want out over the summer, we're in a world of pain.

Klopp: so good he won us the league after he left.

04 Apr 2026 16:46:44
It would be the incompetency of the people in charge to sack him now when they had 2 weeks to do it.

Listening to Gerrard on Stick to Football, he isn't in a rush to come back to management. I know it might be different for Liverpool.

I genuinely do think it'll be very us to go and beat PSG over 2 legs.

04 Apr 2026 17:06:01
We should harness the power of legend and the short term bounce with Stevie Me. He would make a great pub quiz question and answer if he won us the CL.
Slot is the George Lazenby of LFC.

04 Apr 2026 17:26:44
Like I've said.

Gerrard is waiting.

Cheers.

04 Apr 2026 17:28:09
Overkill, same players had plenty of fight under Klopp, mate, nonsense argument. The only reason they've no fight is because they're sick of playing for a fool who's out of his depth.

04 Apr 2026 17:29:22
Albey, no, we're definitely winning it, Florian said we are.

04 Apr 2026 17:59:53
Stevie would give us some fire for the remaining games, it's a no brainer. Would love to see it for Wednesday night.

04 Apr 2026 18:41:46
Robbo, I'm not an ITK, and I'm not doubting you are.

Just bizarre, his comments recently don't tie with him waiting.

04 Apr 2026 19:07:01
Because he doesn't want to undermine Slot or the club. It's not professional, Lfc1312.

04 Apr 2026 20:07:39
Surely, if we get thumped on Wednesday night, Slot will be sacked. Whilst no one expects us to win the CL, the manner in which we get beat is important. We were decent for the first 30 mins, then fell apart once they scored.

But Slot's in-game management is horrendous. He doesn't seem to have a clue how to make tactical personnel changes to impact a game. He had to go back in October and needs to go now ASAP or we won't be getting CL.

04 Apr 2026 21:27:59
Ibiza Red, Slot is not getting sacked this season. Even when PSG put 7 past us over 2 legs and we lose all our remaining league games, he will be there till the bitter end. We will finish 7th at best and he will then leave on his terms. It's a disgrace.

04 Apr 2026 21:32:24
Quite a few players are the same, Chewy. Seven starters today, but it's fair to say Gomez, Mo, and arguably VVD are all past it and don't show any leadership, and Jones isn't good enough to play for us. Of those seven, only Szob truly deserves to be a guaranteed starter right now. Grav isn't a fighter, never has been.

The four new buys who played today are having their temperament tested for the first time, and they're not showing enough in terms of the fight, and quality wise, they're lacking.



The players are better than they're showing, but the point remains that we've been propped up by Mo, VVD and Ali for years, and without them at their best we look what we are, which is an inconsistent and fairly average team.

05 Apr 2026 01:02:28
You manage a world class squad of footballers. After 38 PL games of extremely poor quality, you get what you deserve.

05 Apr 2026 16:22:47
Obsessed with me, Frode.

05 Apr 2026 17:11:37
I am, I'm normally obsessed with stupidity. They make good Netflix docs.

03 Apr 2026 20:31:40
Hi all,

Konate remains in talks to extend his deal. I’m sorry, I don’t really know what more to say on this. I hear conflicting info all the time. Some sources say he’s likely to stay, other sources say not. He’s definitely in discussions with both Madrid and PSG.

Szoboszlai will sign and stay. Talks over his deal have been progressing really well and he has no intention of leaving Liverpool.

MacAllister is pushing for a move with his agent. It’s a tricky one, as we may not want to sell him but he’s making his feelings clear. I expect him to depart.

Grav is going nowhere.

I expect in the event of Macca leaving that we will move for Wharton. Perhaps even if Macca stays.

Diomande is pushing for a move to Anfield, although we have zero intention of paying Leipzig's asking price currently. I still expect this deal to go ahead in the summer.

Barcola is likely to sign a new deal at PSG. Less confident we pull this off now. Keep an eye on Anthony Gordon, could be a move for the summer. We remain keen.

And lastly, I expect Bradley to be moved on. Injury woes are a concern within the club and we are looking at new RBs. Denzel Dumfries remains high on our list.

{Ed025's Note - great stuff VG..cheers..

Regarding Konate, I don't rate him but I wouldn't mind if he doesn't leave since I cannot think of a lot of Right CBs to replace him with, but I feel we would need one CB anyways since Leoni is still recovering and both him and Jacquet are very young. That would challenge Konate or demote him to the bench.

Great news about Szobo.

Didn't Grav sign an extension? He is one that I don't know what to think about. He is not playing to his strengths, and if that continues I feel it would be better to sell him.

I would sell MacAllister. He and Wirtz in the same team doesn't click and his performance has dipped.



I don't mind Wharton but he doesn't solve our midfield issues, although the same happens with Grav, so I don't know what is happening.

I would like Diomande although not for the price. Additionally, I question the fit because since the beginning of the season it has been hard to understand which system is better for us. Imagine a team with Ekitike, Gakpo, Diomande, Wirtz, Szobo and Grav. I feel it is very weak physically.

This is a lot of moving parts, so I don't know how to feel about the players quoted and extensions, besides Szobo.

03 Apr 2026 22:00:27
Cheers for update, Vic. 👍🏻

03 Apr 2026 22:32:36
Diomande would be a great signing. Not so sure about Gordon, certainly not my number one choice. He could come in and do a good job, you never know. He was great in 23/24 but hit and miss since, he has done notably well in the Champions League this season. If MacAllister wants to go, then I say send him packing.

He's a good player but nowhere near irreplaceable, we desperately need somebody who can throw their weight around in the middle of the park anyway. Grav signed a 6 year deal a month ago, not sure why he's being mentioned. And Bradley's out until 2027, no idea how we're going to sell an injured player.

03 Apr 2026 22:55:12
Dumfries would make no sense. He's far too old.

04 Apr 2026 00:19:49
Moving Bradley on makes total sense. If a buyer could be found, of course.

04 Apr 2026 00:42:49
With Bradley's serious injury and repeated injury problems, I would say we would be lucky to get anything over £30m, that's being generous. Might be handy just to keep around for the squad. Move Frimpong on, and get a proper right back.

04 Apr 2026 01:30:55
Move Bradley on? His latest injury was a foul ffs. Hope he stays best rb at the club. He will get better and stronger. Didn't Gerrard suffer early in his career with back problems? Get a grip. What are we going to do every time a player gets injured? Replace them?

04 Apr 2026 01:48:47
Isn't Dumfries a bit of a sick note too?

Macca should be moved on. Would get a nice fee for him.

I don't mind Gordon, I think he'd give his all for the badge and inject a lot of energy in our attack, similar to what Diaz and Nunez used to do.

I think he'd contribute plenty of G/A's with the higher quality players around him. For the right price I'd take him.

04 Apr 2026 02:46:25
Gordon has pace and heart, two things we are desperately missing right now.

04 Apr 2026 04:36:12
Scouse, I thought Bradley's latest injury happened against Arsenal? I don't recall it being a foul. I remember the Arsenal player trying to drag him out of touch though.

04 Apr 2026 06:06:32
Bradley is still young, id keep him. Hopefully this will be the last of his injuries n he can come back stronger. As for Macallister n Konate, I hope they both leave, but as anyone actually seen this Diomande play, for the price they want he'd have to be something special.

{Ed078's Note - injuries are an issue, but this latest one was unfortunate. He is a very good player, quick enough, reads the game well defensively, knows when to bomb forward, has a decent shot on him, a nice touch and happy to drive past players. Would be a "keep" from me.

04 Apr 2026 07:43:16
I think we are realising we need more British grit in the team. This is the first time since I've been a fan we've had hardly any British players making an impact.
Bring back Harvey, use him as a squad option.

Bring in Gordon for Gakpo, Wharton for Mac, Alfie Grey/Conor Gallagher, and keep Bradley. He's been unlucky but he's a great player, still very young, and can get over the injuries.

04 Apr 2026 07:44:16
I don't think Bradley or Frimpong are anywhere near good enough.
But, if Slot goes and we get away from his passive crap football, maybe Bradley will improve.

04 Apr 2026 08:12:46
Nothing wrong with Bradley once he's fully grown. I'd sooner get the Bournemouth guy and keep Frimpong as an attacking option for the bench.

Love Diomande, Lacroix, Geerstruida and Anderson, though the former is unlikely, so Kamara or Stiller.

04 Apr 2026 08:42:29
Dumfries... not sold on him.

Maybe another Dutchman so we can play the slow bire our opponents (and fans) to death...

04 Apr 2026 08:49:52
The only British player who'd legitimately add grit to the side is Elliott Anderson. All the players you mentioned do not add that, Skezza.

Wharton is every bit as one paced, immobile and defensively inept as Mac Allister.

Conor Gallagher is what would happen if you signed Jordan Henderson from Temu.

Gordon is extremely one dimensional as a winger, he may be quick, but he's not particularly skilful, he's certainly got no physicality and as for intelligence, he has none, given we face low blocks almost every other week, he'd be utterly useless.



Alfie Gray hasn't set the world alight at Spurs.

As for Harvey Elliott, he's too slow and too lightweight. Whether people are honest enough to admit that is up to them.

Would be a shockingly bad transfer window if we ended up with that lot.

04 Apr 2026 09:09:14
Sorry Viktor, I forgot you knew exactly how players react under different coaches, environments and being surrounded by better players.
Name one player who has set the world alight at Spurs recently. Even Van Der Ven has looked bang average.

I'll wait.
I'd happily swap Gordon for Gakpo, add Wharton, and bring back Harvey for squad depth.
Gallagher is also an engine in midfield, which is a trait we desperately need alongside Szobo to get the best out of Wirtz, Ekitke etc.

{Ed001's Note - van der Ven is average, at best. They are crap because their players are crap.}

04 Apr 2026 09:36:10
Contrary to others' opinions, I'd certainly keep Cody at the club. He's not had a good season, but neither have the entire team. He's light years ahead of Rio, and so he should be at both stages of their careers. I believe he'd be a key and versatile member of Xabi's squad. I also do like Gordon. I think he'd be an excellent inclusion. Unfortunately though, I disagree with the opinion on Bradley. Yes, he gives his all whilst on the pitch, but again, imo, he is actually not a very good defender.

He's rash, and his continued injuries are obviously concerning for him and the team. They take their toll mentally and physically, and make it very difficult for him to find consistency. Whether these are coaching or fitness issues, I don't know, but I don't think his future lies at LFC and I believe VG is correct in saying that the club will try moving him out. Unfortunately. Anyway, onwards to total domination, I say!!! Hope everyone enjoys the game today!!!! H'on the Reds!!!!

04 Apr 2026 09:59:29
As far as right back is concerned, I'd absolutely be looking to buy one.
Bradley will take ages to get back to his best, and, unfortunately, he's always injured. I wouldn't sell him, I'd have him in the squad.
I'd also be using Frimpong on the wing, further up, as backup to whoever we are looking to bring in, and also as backup to the new right back until Bradley is fit again.


Right back has been a cursed position for us this season, so we need to bring someone in who's going to be reliable as a priority.

04 Apr 2026 09:34:18
Gallagher? An engine? Maybe from a clapped out Yugo Zastava with no MOT. Hopeless player. As Ed says, there's a reason spurs are where they are. Wharton, Gallagher & Gordon has the same energy as Adams, Carroll & Downing. British grit my arse.

04 Apr 2026 10:13:07
Good man Victor! Never hold back!!! Love your posts!!! 🫵🫵💥🧨🥳🤣

04 Apr 2026 11:10:11
Wharton has got to be the most overhyped British player in recent memory. Yes, he's tidy on the ball, but are you really gaining that much by replacing Macca with him? Get in someone who can play the Fabinho role and job done.

The less said about Clare Balding, the better. She's only got pace. Did anyone see Gordon in the recent England friendlies?

Ditto Gallagher.

04 Apr 2026 11:26:04
Think Fiden and Bellingham take the mantle as over hyped.

But, give the press time. I got a feeling Dowman at Arsenal will be the next big for them. He may well be a good player. But, however good he is, they will make him twice as good!

04 Apr 2026 12:16:50
I'm still scarred from the dross like Julian Dicks, Neil Ruddock, Paul Stewart, Paul Ince, Joe Cole, Paul Konchesky, Stewart Downing, Andy Carroll, Ricky Lambert, to name but a few, when anyone says we need "English grit".

{Ed025's Note - i think you have mispelt "Grit" VV.. :)

04 Apr 2026 13:32:35
Ince wasn't as bad as the other players on that list, surely? The homophobic taunting of Le Saux will unfortunately be what I remember him for in a Liverpool shirt, though.

Also I do think Wharton is a good player and has one aspect to his game that we desperately need in midfield, his passing and vision.

In terms of mobility, availability and engine, though, he isn't what we need, and is hardly an upgrade (and I'd say even a downgrade) from Macca in that respect. He is a wonderful passer of the ball though.

04 Apr 2026 13:39:23
Robbo, Henderson, Gerrard, Carra, Gary Mac type players are what we need. We have no leaders in this team willing to run their hearts out other than Szobo. That's a fact.

But keep wishing for the flashy players who look like prime Michael Flatley in the Bundesliga, and see how much further down the table we fall.

04 Apr 2026 15:41:44
Skezza, Gordon isn't a grafter or a leader or even a top class winger, he's woeful and one dimensional, Wharton isn't a leader or a grafter, he's a very mediocre midfielder who looks ok in highlight reels but can't defend to save his life and is an inferior version of a player already at the club, Gallagher is a headless chicken who is a mid table player at best, again not a leader.

You go on about needing leaders and list of a bunch of no marks who add nothing in terms of leadership or ability.

04 Apr 2026 17:09:23
Got to agree about Gallagher, even in his purple patch under Lampard, I thought he just looked like a grafter of an 8 who wasn't actually good at anything other than running around. I do think Gordon is better than you give him credit for, Viktor, but he absolutely isn't an 80m pound plus player, which is what Newcastle would want for him.

04 Apr 2026 17:25:01
Re Bradley, bearing the last injury, which was a freakish unfortunate one. He reminds me of Gerrard at that age, "as in" he picked up a lot of muscle injuries where bones grow quicker than muscles etc. I hope for Bradley this is the case. I would 100% keep him. There's potentially a v good RB who would pick up a few goals and assists.

I may be wrong, but I think it's too early to know, and, as such, move him on. Regardless, we need a first 11 ready RB to compete and give Bradley time to gauge what his ceiling is and if the injury issues settle down. For me, he has shown flashes of being very good.

04 Apr 2026 18:33:03
I can't believe people are willing to accept Gordon. We've been bad this year, but we're not fighting for mid table yet! Gordon looks replaceable in a very mediocre Newcastle side, so why would we ever want him?

Plus his attitude stinks and he dives constantly.

He's an absolute turd of a player. As bad as Gakpo has been this year, I would give him a raise to keep him before replacing him with Gordon. I wouldn't want Gordon in the team if Newcastle paid us!
