« Last post by John C on Today at 11:53:49 pm »You'd hope the other guy next to him, whether that would be Edwards (you'd expect given his job title, but he's previously ensured only 3 photos of him exist never mind a full on global presser) ) or Hughes (in the job 5 minutes) or my preference, Billy Hogan (as per Jurgen's announcement) to as you say, bat the shit away fairly swiftly, and keep things on agenda and the same page. We don't need another Rodgers/Ayre situation, which set the tone for his relationship with Edwards and the rest of the recruitment setup, which dug his own grave eventually.Good reply mate.
The other thing to accept is Klopp was unique as he almost always knew exactly the right thing to say for any given occasion. I can't think of a single misstep or ill-judged comment. Astonishing really over 9 seasons. From "I'm just the normal one" to "It's not that I want to leave, but it's that I have to".
Even if he wasn't Dutch, Slot is just not going to be the same. So there'll need to be some patience, acceptance and allowances for this. It will happen and it won't sit well with some of us. As long as he does well, doesn't come off as a c*nt, like Ten Hag or Guardiola publicly berating out players, and is genuinely humble (unlike Rodgers) in the face of the life-changing opportunity he's been lucky to be granted, then it'll be grand. Until it isn't, results-wise.
And yep, Slots accomplice to the throne is potentially very important
