I was driving back home from Scotland yesterday so I didn't see the news until about 5 o'clock. Really happy about that because if I'd've found out he'd been sacked at 11, I'd have been driving like a lunatic all the way home and would've picked up a dozen speeding tickets, fueled by the sheer giddy joie de vivre of it all. Can't express how relieved I am that it is all over. Going into next season with him would have been incredibly depressing. I know we've all been frustrated by FSG and their apparent refusal to recognise the problem, turns out they do at least partly know what they're doing after all. Maybe they were giving Slot the best opportunity to prove he could turn it round. Maybe they were giving him enough rope to hang himself. Maybe they were waiting for the replacement they wanted. Maybe they were waiting for a break-point in his contract to minimise pay-offs. Who knows. For whatever reason, they've (finally) done the right thing, even if it is six months late. So long Arne, thanks for no.20. Top marks for the handling of the Diogo tragedy. Now use this time-off to learn and self-develop. And maybe wear a toupee for a while. Try out a few styles.

See what I mean about that gum thing? The lad needs sorting before he’s allowed anywhere near Anfield. Needs to be part of his manager’s medical. I expect an announcement that he’s going in for surgery very soon.

Well, stick it in the General Footie forum then.

I wonder/hope/clutch at straws if they have Ts&Cs in his contract that say that if they bin him off with less than a year left on the contract then he gets a much smaller pay-out. That would be from 1st June onwards...

All that just to cover the gap at right back?

The new contract thing is a biggie but… It is possible the FSG have said to him you’ve got your job for next season but we only give you a contract extension but it is conditional on you achieving X,Y & Z during next season. And Arne Slot being Arne Slot he may have thought “I’ve got guaranteed employment for another year I can do even less next season than I’ve done in this past season, job’s a good un”.

In Slot world, you need to be anything but a defender.

I can't believe that they've spoken to the senior players (that I am assuming is Virg, Robbo, Alisson, maybe Mo plus others) and they've heard their feedback - which I would assume to be universally "this is horrible and he is terrible" - and they still plough on regardless....

Emery reminds me of Rigsby so it’s a no from me.

Me neither. He’s not what we need.

He seems ready made for a rehash of The Kinks ‘Lola’.
