Topic: Arne Slot confirmed

[Caps4444]

We start the season away far more than we should.

The games I hate at the start of a season are one of the newly promoted teams away. The team is used to winning and the crowd is well up for it.

Last 3 seasons we had Norwich, Fulham and Chelsea all away.

Noticed we have 3 jobs working with the first  team advertised on linked in  , is that normal … thought we would just know people that suit the position perfectly and we just go after them than advertise jobs .

I think legally you have to advertise, especially internally? I may be wrong….but give the opportunity for someone to move internally…..although unlikely still needs to be done.

We requested an away game last season because of the stadium work.

My old job , even though was moving people internally into a new role , had to advertise externally even though job was already filled from our current staff .

Arne's at Anfield today. So if you're doing the tour have a look out. 

[Hazell]

I'd like that. 😃

I went to see Mogwai once. Some patient build-up. Always in control. Then they hit you with a wall of noise that leaves you pasted to the rear wall of the venue.

Bring it on...

Was listening to Yes I Am a Long Way From Home today, great song!

[Eeyore]

Last 3 seasons we had Norwich, Fulham and Chelsea all away.

So start at home 12 times versus start away 20 times. Even if you take out the seasons we have requested starting away that is still 12 at home versus 18 away.

Thought the ‘advertising’ only applies to pub sec jobs.  Not aware of constraints re private sector recruitment, although many do advertise if someone internal isn’t available to be shoehorned in.

Could be completely wrong on that.

Could be completely wrong on that.

Some accreditations that businesses receive require 'advertising' of vacancies. It is seen as best practice and helps with compliance regarding discrimination.

Trent:

"I have trust in the club and who we've appointed. As a player, that’s all you can ask for. To trust the higher ups. I’m sure it will be a smooth transition.”

[newterp]

The higher ups? He doesn't even know their names. He's off.

[Eeyore]

Is it Michael Schmadtke, Julian Hughes, Richard Ward or Jorg Edwards though?

[Giono]

Would be nice to get a favourable run of games to start, ideally home game first.
Wouldn’t want to have a tough away game like last year.

I think all the big clubs will be starting the season without some international players. There will be plenty of clubs starting the season with new managers that weren't as carefully recruited as Slot. We could be at an advantage because of our deep squad of hungry young players who can do the business and out to impress a new boss that won't be out to make huge changes to tactics, style or the squad. I am very optimistic for the start of the season.

Same thoughts here but I still hope we get a easy'ish start for once as it will help Slot settle in easier with the Euros/Copa shite.

Virgil Van Dijk

“I have full trust in the club & the decisions going forward. Obviously change is unknown, but I’m looking forward to the new season. We’re gonna work our socks off. We have a good coach coming & a very good team.”

[Oldmanmick]

The more I read, & hear, about Arne, the more optimistic I am about our future under him. He seems a very laid back, confident, sort of guy who the players will hopefully warm to. He'll certainly have the right tools to work with at Anfield & I've no doubt FSG will be generous in backing him with players who can make a difference. Roll on next season.

[smutchin]

I love the fact that he’s always smiling and laughing. He looks like he has the confidence of a winner.

[T. Finn]

Very much looking forward to the first official interview, I hope it drops on the 1st

They’ve had to delay it as he’s been asked to grow some stubble and find a cap that fits.

I believe he's buying some glasses when the shops open on Tuesday as well.

[vblfc]

Having a strong character is key for this role (even if we park the fact he is following a legend in this respect). Our fans appreciate a hard, credible and humorous leader and we can sense when strong character is not there. Early signs look positive.
I hope Arne comes in confident and with authority. He needs to drive the agenda with the club, fans,  Prem League, PGMOL and the media. I also hope he sets his standards high on quality of play and of signings. Even if he is not called “manager”, he should insist on the best standards and best talents. I hope that , over time as he proves himself, he can deserve his versions of Mo, Virgil, Ali, Fab etc.  That must be his mindset, and the mindset of the suits around him.

All clubs will be affected- big and small, and it will be their key players who will either be injured, on extended pre-season, some will be fatigued, some will need match fitness/sharpness.

International cup years have always had an impact, but of course- it will be all of us.

Yep- and the good thing is there are no duplicity and uncertainty around his job and duties. It's not a Ten Hag situation, so it should be a fairly "seemless" transfer- under the circumstances.

I do think we have made provision for that sort of trust. It's the type of environment that we've created.

Vincent Kompany to Bayern (after an embarrassing manager search).

Enzo Maresca to Chelsea

Kieran Mckenna currently favourite for the United job.

Hansi Flick to Barcelona

Crazy. Whether it works out or not, was important we got it sorted promptly and after a thorough process to find the right fit for the squad.

Ruben Peeters' agency confirm he will join Arne Slot and Sipke Hulsoff at Liverpool, taking on the title of First Team Lead Physical Performance Coach.

https://x.com/LewisSteele_/status/1795064230422437947

Ruben Peeters’ agency has confirmed his move to Liverpool as Physical Performance Coach.

A key member of Arne Slot’s inner circle. At Feyenoord and Genk he worked on DNA epigenetics, microbiology manipulations and how sleep improves performance. #LFC

So our players will be on the good stuff? Nice to know.

I prefer our players being epigenetically, microbiologically manipulated...

Was he the one Feyenoord were digging their heels in over?
