Finally someone said, what is really needed to be said right now.
Never easy on anyone to lose a job.
Good luck Arne.

Luckily, for many of our players, football is unlike any other industry.
Half of them should be following Slot out the door too

I did this for the first thirty years of my career. Tailed off a bit towards the end and ended up doing the bare minimum. This led me to the great success I enjoy today.

Letās wait and see. We brought Klopp in after 7 years of excellence in Germany. Alonso had what 1 or 2? Then was fired at Madrid in 6 months. Itās not like heās a sure thing, I think we slightly overrate his CV. Some fans talk about Alonso like he is a world class coach but I think thatās far from proven.
Iraola makes a lot of sense to me. Consistent body of work, overachievement every season, can adapt to changing player pool, likes using and developing young players, attractive style, forward-thinking and direct. And heās worked with Hughes before successfully.
Every appointment is a risk but I like this a lot.

Probably it will be Iraola. Looks like the Spanish coaches are ruling the world of football at the moment. Guradiola, Arteta, Enrique, Emery are just few of them.
I still have a liitle hope that Klopp could be back after 2 years of rest and reset, but it probably our new manager will be the basque Iraola. If the club chooses him, I will write a little review about him as I follow his career when he was at Mirandes and famously led them to a 1/2 finals of the Copa del Rey in 2019/2020 season.

I think the 12 months salary to compensate him, will help with that.

Whoever it is, the club need to up their game and build him a squad that can compete. Slot played his hand very badly, but it was a poor hand to begin with.
We canāt go into a season with holes in the squad like we did this year.

Slot will work again. Heās a PL winner. Not too many of them around. There might be a vacancy at Bayer Leverkusen.

Heāll go on to have a good career. Wouldnāt be surprised to see him pop up in a few years at a big club.

Iāll just take a moment to appreciate this decision before moaning about what might or might not happen or could have happened.
