It was very noticeable when the Chelsea announcement came out that Alonso is the “manager” and not the “head coach”
Im hoping the real reason for not hiring Alonso and indeed Iraola, is the same, theyve both quite not got the the experience to manage a big club, and theyve risked it once with Slot. FSG are an anomalous bunch in football, always super tight lipped, then move quite big.
Which then leaves me with an availability problem as there are not many top coaches available. Is it then relevant that Hughes worked with Iraola before? In short, fck knows. But well done FSG yet again, we’re all clueless at this point.
Don’t like Nagelsmann at all and I do not understand why anyone wants him to be our head coach. But damn, shots fired. (Don’t know what account this is though, could be as bad as Anfield Watch
) ![]()

Julian Nagelsmann on Florian Wirtz’s role for Germany“Unlike some, we know how to use Flo, we will play to his strengths, and you will see the world class player he is.”

We have already seen this happen. The only problem that teams are going to have with Liverpool players are fitness related. The Netherlands are fucked, probably knocked out in the group and first knockout.
Maybe that was the long con. Arne has been busy de-fitnessing our players so that they go out the world cup at the earliest opportunity and so have more time for us next season!!
Just got a message from my mate, through his mate that gets the early lineups, that all Slot merchandise has been removed from LFC stores.
Also saying that he is defo gone next week, by mutual consent.
I didn’t see any Slot merchandise when I went to the club store at Anfield after the Chelsea match ![]()
Just caps ![]()
I DIDN’T SEE ANY SLOT MERCHANDISE AT THE CLUB STORE AT ANFIELD AFTER THE CHELSEA MATCH
…we had Slot merchandise?
ive seen scarves with his name/face before
Somebody should ask him why he doesn’t know how to use Deniz Undav. The best German attacker with 25 goals and 14 assists this season not even third choice under Nagelsmann.
If you post from a fake page, don’t be surprised if you get fake quotes. I don’t particularly like Nagelsmann either, but he really didn’t say that about Wirtz.
So, it’s just like Anfield Watch then. Yuk!
That’s good enough for me…
Though I couldn’t get that Slot figure anywhere after the season end last year.
Get your Arne Slot glass cube thing…
I wouldn’t even buy a Jurgen Klopp version of whatever that is.

Even Del Boy Trotter wouldn’t be able to flog these! £45 quid, you’re having a laugh !!
I have one of these though I had one of Rafa, Evans and Houllier. I don’t know if they had one of Dalglish and I never took to Rodgers frankly.
