Arne Slot to ESPN NL: "It's no secret that I want to go to Liverpool. The clubs are negotiating. We have to wait until an agreement is reached, but I have every confidence in that."

Sounds like we might be trying to get this guy.

[Hazell]

and it’ll annoy so many people, which is great 

Hope so! Know nothing about him but it looks like this will be done so am planning to become an expert by the end of this weekend.

Is he reliable for news regarding himself?

[MD1990]

the more i hear about Slot the more i like him

[Samie]

Is he reliable for news regarding himself?

NAh, not until I hear from Romano what Slot has said about himself.

I’m waiting on Indy to confirm.

Waiting for the Portuguese journo's to confirm we have sent our counter offer to Amorim and he's back in the race.

Interesting bit this from an away win at Ajax last season. He hooked his left back after only 24 minutes. The player didn't take it well. Jump to 5:50.

The comments reveal he was on a yellow card and looking like a liability.

Certainly can be bold with his in-game management.

[Oh Jimmy Jimmy]

I remain open to Slot, but I am plagued by concerns, which I would state as folllows:

1. Profile: When FSG brought in Klopp he was the most sought after manager in Europe. Slot is a legend in his own back yard, it's not quite the same thing.
2. Previous: While FSG had incredible success with Klopp (and have been steady, if cautious owners) they are still unproven on managerial picks. Rodgers can be considered a positive and Dalglish helped pull the club back from the brink. But only Klopp can be considered an unqualified success.
3. Coming from a weak league: Ten Hag is Dutch and arrived with a very good reputation. It's clear now he is nowhere near the leading lights of management. Quite simply the Dutch league does not test a manager enough to reveal their weaknesses.
4. Player purchases: Slot will, naturally want to pick some of his own players. Klopp got Matip for a song, as an example. Ten hag spent 100s of millions on low quality players from the Dutch league.  Again, simply put, Slot will want to shop from what he knows, but the league is piss and Dutch players are at an all time low quality wise.
5. Klopp hangover: Going from a legend to an unknown is going to be a hard transition for everyone.
6. Klopp lite: Slot appears to be favoured because he plays a similar style to Klopp. But  a new departure is needed, trying to be Klopp 2.0 is highly unlikely to succeed. The players for one will not be persuaded if its more of the same, only not as good.

Yep, fair enough but there isn’t a Jurgen or Rafa out there. Edwards will recommend the transfers to Slot’s style and he will veto them, which is different to Ten Bob Note bringing in sub standard Eredivisie players.

He’ll bring Sipke Hulshoff with him who is also the Dutch Assistant Manager and knows Virgil well. Last night showed the importance our Captain in trying to lift of the team to his standards and having his buy-in is the key thing.

Think Slot will refine what Jurgen has built,  which is what is needed.

Arne Slot makes no secret of the fact that he would like to make a transfer to Liverpool. "It seems clear to me that I would like to work there," said the current Feyenoord coach .

"The clubs are negotiating, so I'm still on hold," says the trainer in the run-up to the match against Go Ahead Eagles . "We have to wait until an agreement is reached, but I have every confidence in that."

[DelTrotter]

and it’ll annoy so many people, which is great 

  Yep he's gonna boil some piss, I'm here for it.

[Egyptian36]

Man all these posts and arguments about Alonso, what a waste of time. Anyone here predicted the club may look into Arne Slot?

I'd expect him to just not comment but there we are!

[Boston always unofficial]

Oh my golly! Here comes your man.Where is my mind?

[Samie]

No one. 

I made a top 5 list a few months back, I don;t think Slot would've been in my top 50.

Excited about this. Slot's such a bone machine.

He looks like a dart player

[disgraced cake]

Get in Feyenoord! 1-0 up at Go Ahead Eagles. I'm going to enjoy watching these final few games, and already like them more than I do Leverkusen or Sporting.

[DelTrotter]

GETTTT THE FUCK IN!! Feyenoord lead

In the interview did he say anything about Nunez or where he thinks Trent’s best position is?

[shook]

[RyanBabel19]

Beautiful finish for 2-0

[disgraced cake]

TWAT! That was liquid Slotball!

Only that he will make Nunez take dart-throwing lessons and TAA Jujutsu

[Hazell]

TWAT! That was liquid Slotball!

At least we arent getting Zerbi anyway! 

[RyanBabel19]

Minteh looks a decent young player. Wonder if Newcastle will give him minutes next season

[In the Name of Klopp]

Go Ahead Eagles 0-2 Feyenoord. Fey are clinical, but it's a boring match.

[killer-heels]

Minteh looks a decent young player. Wonder if Newcastle will give him minutes next season

Is he from Manchester?
