« Last post by Mighty_Red on Today at 06:39:41 pm »Exactly. As when Joe succeeded Bob and then Kenny succeeded Joe, the incoming manager was expected to continue along the same path. Kenny also over the following 2 seasons imprinted his own style on the club with his own players, I expect the same will happen with Slot.But the biggest lesson is the Sir Bob won nothing in his first season. He would've been forced out by the fans if he was managing today!

Who exactly is this Hinduphobia supposed to come from?
It's not just Indian RW who engage in this btw. Occasionally, you will see liberal folks like Shashi Tharoor being useful idiots.

« Last post by Scottymuser on Today at 06:38:07 pm »This is it for me. On paper he scores every 2 games. But in reality he regularly goes months without scoring in the league.
People will say do the cups not count - if they did count as much, Minamino and Origi would still be here.
That is not true. In the slightest. His longest period without scoring this the 9 games (he started 7 of them) between Man City and Burnley - or about 7 weeks. In those games he did get 2 assists. Presumably you were on here when Jota went 13 games in 2021/22 without scoring (starting the same number 7, and getting 3 assists) calling that he goes "months without scoring" and to be sold?

« Last post by T.Mills on Today at 06:36:10 pm »It's really simple. The state of the squad (and club setup, facilities etc.) Slot is inheriting is markedly different from the shitshow that Klopp walked into, plus he has significantly less responsibility as head coach.
All this talk of "well he'll need a couple of seasons just to get his bearings, assess the squad, so we'd better be prepared for a reset meaning top 4 expectations are batshit crazy" is downplaying expectations and can fuck off as far as I'm concerned. Nobody would be saying that if we were still on course some 4 points clear in the league and marching towards a final in Dublin.
He's not been hired to awake a sleeping giant or pull the club out of the shit, he's been hired to maintain success. That's the job. We can't afford another period of mediocrity.
You’re batshit crazy if you think we’ll be in the title mix next season! I fully expect us to regress back to pre-Klopp mediocrity and I’ve made peace with it to be honest.

« Last post by Hazell on Today at 06:34:59 pm »And Utd, same for Chelsea are batshit all over the show behind the scenes.
We got our back office sorted first, then appointed a head coach who will work within that structure, that should allow for us to continue as we have, a well oiled machine.
Likewise the style of play not changing much I’d imagine Slot has already been given a dossier of top targets for each position from the super nerds, they will be the same list as last summer etc.
Yeah, I hope so. Looks like that's the way we've been going about things. All makes perfect sense

« Last post by rob1966 on Today at 06:33:21 pm »Was as much driven by Man Utd as it was by us. They haven't been targeted, though I guess being shite helps their case.
Being the PL's Golden Boys helps, don't forget Scudamore said the league needed a strong Man Utd
