Topic: LFC's next manager - chat and informed speculation

[Slippers]

We’ll know if he brings a painting of himself.

What if he brings a painting of Brendan?

[Redbonnie]

No one allegedly bids a British transfer record for fucks sakes. Certainly not owners who are careful with their money.

I was told by someone very close to Liverpool and FSG that they had no intention of buying him. I dismissed it at the time.

[Andar]

Porto 2 nil up against Sporting.

Amorim's record over the last 3 seasons against Porto and Benfica is quite poor. This result adds to that.

Dodged a bullet there. Lucky escape.

[Andar]

Meanwhile Xabi is still unbeaten. Another last minute goal.

He's built a group of mentality monsters over there.

I wonder if his ill advised trip to West Ham with him then having to publicly apologise has affected the team.

Erm it’s 2-2 now

2-2 now.

Gyokeros bailing him out as he has done all season. He would have finished 4th like last season without him.

De Telegraph are reporting that Feyenoord will block any moves from Slot to take their Chief Doctor. 

[John C]

So what type of or style of play is the new boos into?

We had someone else on here last summer telling us that he'd been told by someone at Liverpool we weren't buying any more midfielders after Mac Allister.

Obviously, you know your source better than I do. But perhaps not every person, even one who is "very close", knows the exact truth.

What makes Arsenal so good is how good they are out of possession. I remember Arteta in his early days calling us the gold standard off the ball in an interview after we battered them.

For whatever reason, we’re not that anymore and haven’t been in a while, with the make up of the squad and first XI reflecting that. We don’t seem hungry to defend and harry and hustle like we used to… hopefully that comes back. It felt like there was a clear departure from our ‘be the worst team to play against’ model after won the title.

I'll keep banging the drum, getting consistent team selection and our best players on the pitch regularly has to be the aim for next season.

We've not been able to build trust or partnerships in any area of the pitch this season

[Bobinhood]

Damn that Mane was good.

[wemmick]

Damn that Mane was good.

Wasn't he, though. He might be the best player of the Klopp era for me. He was as good defensively as he was attacking. Remarkably well-rounded player. He did everything well! 

[Giono]

4231/424 from what I've seen. Agreed. I also hope we'll be better in possession. They move the ball faster through midfield, so they don't play it back to the keeper nearly as much when they recycle, and they move upfield faster when they decide to attack. I'm optimistic.

That sounds great. The more I learn, the more I like.

[spider-neil]

For me, what I'm most curious about is whether Trent is used in the 2 and Mac in the 3 of a 4-2-3-1. I think these switches in their positions will benefit us and the team more. Also, I think Bradley is too good to be back up for the right back position.

[TepidT2O]

I think people will have to be patient with Slot (ha fucking ha right?).

A totally new regime will take time to settle and time to implement their ideas and philosophies.


And time is something we don’t really have.  Because, the euros run absurdly late and the new season starts absurdly early.  Coaching time with the whole squad will be at something of a premium 


Be patient folks

People already wrote him off just because he comes from the dutch league .. What makes you think he will be afforded the luxury of time...?

Some of our fans have been talking about who comes after Slot before Slot has even signed.

What do you mean by patience? What is his realistic target and what is minimum?

How do they stop that? No you can't go!!!!

Ok I quit

[spider-neil]

You can't just quit if you have a contract.

[red_Mark1980]

But who's after the guy who's after Slot? I can't take not winning a trophy since Klopp.

[red_Mark1980]

I think you can.

[Cusamano]

you can

just gotta pay the remainder of your contract

Think the Euros and Copa will actually help us. It means that Slot gets to meet with the squad without the senior players and have a chance to build a rapport with the younger players (i.e. the future of this team) so by the time the seniors arrive (in dribs and drabs), it'll be easier to make that "first impression".

Obviously there will be the threat that the Euros and Copa is an opportunity to tap up our players but, Trent aside, I don't have any worries about losing players if we get good money which can go back i to the team.

A 16/17 season of thrilling football, ups and downs and CL football would do me.

[redbyrdz]

What do you mean by patience? What is his realistic target and what is minimum?

I want us to get stronger defensively and stop conceding so many first goals. Otherwise, play good, progressive football  where a clear plan is visible for the direction of our team, make signings that fit in, make players play in usefull positions.

In terms of trophies / leagur position, I'd say we should stay in the CL, but I don't have any expectations of winning anything in his first season here.

He can just give notice.

[Peabee]

Depends on the contract. He's not a footballer on millions. Most employment contracts just require notice within terms of the notice period?

[Peabee]

I think you can.

It's weird how football player contracts have generated this impression that everyone involved in football is some sort of indentured servant who cannot hand in their notice and they will be forced to work.

I'll take you up on that Pistolero. You didn't state currency, so I'll pay you in Iranian Rial. You start next Monday, get your affairs in order. Meet me at Chester rail station at 8am sharp.

 

[redbyrdz]

Of course you can. The contract has terms under which you can leave. Usually that's some sort of notice period.
There could be other clauses, for example confidentiality agreements, but if you want out, you can just do so.

He's a doctor, what would he have to pay? He'll have a notice period and most likely will have to stay for that.
