Up until a few days ago I’d never heard of Arne slott ,didn’t know anything about him,but then again in 1974 ,I’d never heard of bob paisley.
Bob who ?,a 55 year old ,second fiddle to bill Shankly that most Liverpool fans didn’t even realise he existed.and in the media at the time the reaction was the same.even bob didn’t want the job and thought he would be keeping the seat warm till shanks had a break and wanted to return .
But he took the the job ,the hardest task of all ,following a huge legend like shanks he was on a hiding to nothing,couldn’t possibly succeed .but we gave him our support and backed him ,wanted him to succeed and boy oh boy did that quiet ,unassuming man succeed.he took us to new greater heights we never thought possible.
All our managers were given time and support even the owl ,although he was quickly found out .
Just give Arne slot the time and support bob got all those years ago .if it turns out like the ride bob took us on then we’re in for one hell of a ride .
