Hus

New fear unlocked, they're about to go full ETH and give him a one-year extension with a host of performance-related clauses, which will limit the compensation payable when they sack him in October.

We need three cannon firing ceremonies scheduled. If he does stay, I am sure in part it will be because he'll let Bill & Ben play football manager, an incompetent yes man.

Oh look...

As has been said, it must be an absolute shambles behind the scenes. It feels like a number of the leadership team have such large egos that, rather than accept that their data models may not be entirely accurate, they're prepared to roll the dice on yet another close season where they need to conclude multiple deals just to get us back to where we were, let alone what we actually f***ing need. All while having a coach in situ who has already proven that he struggles with high amounts of churn (let alone being able to manage more than about five players), it's ridiculous.

Off to Spurs

The LFC press team be like, quick get something out re the defensive situation, but whatever you do, don't mention "pathway".

So we did want him then:

Ibou is off. Had a mixed season but so much churn, and so little faith in Bill & Ben to get it right.

But on a serious note for a second, I wanna know whose burner account this is

Tier: I want to believe But the pain is too fresh, I don't want to be hurt again!

True , but if he stood up, apologised for what had been a terrible season and accepted that he made mistakes, he would have got some credit.

There needs to be a new precedent c - It's been a s*** show of a season, he has little or no connection with the fans, the majority of whom want him sacked. He had an opportunity to tackle (badum) it head-on and took the easy option.

Agree, plus he would have had to accept at least some part of the blame. It's clearly not something he believes or is prepared to do in front of the fans, which says it all.

The next phase of the PR "masterplan" will kick in at some point. They'll be "showing" him hard at work soon, the WC will give them the perfect opportunity to try and push the "football obsessive" narrative. They could try to use the data angle, slight problem, it's all absolutely s***e . He really should have taken the opportunity to address the fans post-match, there would have been some negativity, but it also might have allowed people to share their frustrations. Tackling the issue head-on, accepting he had made mistakes would have helped his cause massively. But instead, he stayed silent and (mostly) seated, the worst option.

Is there genuine belief he still might be sacked? I'm well entrenched in the "fire him out of a cannon" camp, but I just can't see it happening. The articles that came out on Friday and since the game, all points to him being here next season. Even putting aside the obvious similarities (e.g. new coaches etc), this whole situation reminds me massively of the season where we retained Rodgers. There was lots of talk of a "season review" then too, it turned out it was just a way for them to control the narrative in the hope that the negative fan sentiment dissipated. Slot not talking post match seems connected, as with Rodgers, could the club be trying to keep him out of the media spotlight?

Indeed, been obvious for months. Pass the ball wide and hope for the best, we create so little, no movement or patterns of play. The system also leaves our main striker completely isolated.

That last bit, Arne be like, oh s*** they told me to stop putting all the blame onto others. Tis also enough to warrant him being fired out of a cannon, thought he'd completed football and could get away with coasting through the season while jetting off to Ibiza for margaritas on Saturday evenings.

Yep, actively avoiding everything he says now. But it was clear on Friday, the oh so predictable news re a signing followed by all of his quotes re the next person he's lining up to throw under the bus. It's mad, I don't understand how they're letting Edwards & Hughes make a decision when they're both exiting, with the latter rumoured to be going at the end of summer. Barring a miracle, he'll be under pressure within 6 weeks of the new season and at that point tweedledee will be planning his exit and that will give them the perfect excuse to delay acting again. I hope that's not the case, but a new coach or two isn't fixing the s***e we have been watching all season, especially as I expect Slot will not be changing his weekly schedule. Edit: Mobile weirdness

Why was he subbed so early? Just another reason to dislike Slot, small time idiot.

Chiesa for Konate will fix everything

Slot ball is sterile possession interspersed with passing the ball wide and hoping for the best.

As mentioned, why does it look like our tops have been few the wash a few too many times?

Yep, thing is the imbecile will class it as an improvement.

Am I wrong or have we created little outside of a direct FK and a few decent long range efforts?

Yes, smarter than everyone else remember. It was so f***ing obvious, big ticket transfer fee for a hyped up talent. But it doesn't come out without the clubs permission Adding
