I think he would come to one of the greatest clubs in history.
That’s a very depressing list.
We dont need passion mate. We need a stable and organised way of playing. Stevie is just not that guy we need right now.
Continue this way and we ship 2 goals minimum a game. If someone comes in, they absolutely must get this team defending and solid again.

What about bringing in Heitinga to help Slot out?
Although it strikes me that Jonny/Arne’s plans worked with the old squad and they’d both have the same problem with this “revamped” iteration.
Collectively they wouldn’t know what to do.

Austrian media are already speculating that Glasner would be a hot candidate now, but that it would probably cost us 10 million .
would he though, in reality?
10 defeats in 12 games.
i get hes not the greatest manager ever to coach the game, but in the context of where we are, who he is, and with strict understanding its an interim posting…

not available, surely.
If it’s a permanent option, then Iraola or Fabregas. The problem is, no one in their right mind would leave mid-season for Liverpool, they’d be on a hiding to nothing. This is depressing.

Hard pass.
We’d have the same issue we did with Kenny the last time around . We pick coaches on merit not nostalgia.

We’ve got an excellent squad, seems to me they are being misused. Get the wingers closer to goal, full backs overlapping, clearer definition of roles to the CMs (who look confused at what they are supposed to be doing). It’s a few fixes way from being excellent again.
If a new coach came in they’d have plenty of time to make changes.

There was 1 name on there which did surprise me was not coaching anyone, Xavi.
No idea if he would be interested but definitely someone I think would be a good option
I once made a comment on here, regarding a half time talk…and one reply was…I think Wilkored08 should take over( forget who replied)…well…I’ve got nothing on for the next few weeks…and some in that dressing room need a kick up the arse…not all…but some…if this goes on much longer…our better players will be putting in transfer requests for January…who wants to play for this shit show team…rant over…but nowhere near happy…

I don’t think any of our players know what they’re supposed to do. I noticed months ago that there was always a huge distance between our player with the ball and his closest teammates. Even for a layman, that was a sign that something was off, especially for a coach who was supposed to bring possession-based football with him.
I do think we have excellent individuals but not an excellent squad, though.

Ye of little faith!
The light bulb above Arne Slot’s shiny head will be lit, and our boys will start winning! 
Exactly the point the some of the parts aren’t as bad as they are showing.

Yeah I don’t think he has handled the heavy squad overturn well. It’s very tough to do but it’s clear that it failed. In addition there was staff turnover which has only added to the issues. Just a complete lack of consistency (after, what 10+ years of pretty consistent squad building).
By this point you would hope to see the new players getting to grips with the plans but as I said after Nottingham Forest I think we look like a team that have a style but not a strategy. We have concepts of how we want to play but are lacking any clear idea how to implement that into a gameplan. The result is it looks random and illogical.
To put it simply I think he started with an idea and has slowly tinkered with it until it has now become something unrecognizable from what he originally planned - and it would seem that he’s lost sight of what his original vision was now (and in retrospect I think this deterioration started in the 2nd half of last season).
Fingers crossed he is able to work with his staff and figure it out, I genuinely don’t think it would require much, but implementation is much harder than we imagine especially as players have to be willing to come along for the journey.
