I wanna hear from John Henry.
£450m for this slop.

Rodgers’s biggest flaw - one which we’ve seen repeat itself - is his massive ego and his belief that everything was about him. Slot doesn’t come off that way. He seems to be the kind of manager who’s willing to admit his mistakes and correct them.
The issue here is that it appears that Slot is lost as to how to solve these issues. Seems to me that his master plan isn’t coming together like he’d hoped, and he’s struggling to find the right pivot to Plan B/C/D etc.
That’s where I’m worried. Once you hear a manager talking about how they don’t know how to solve a problem, you have to either hope that he finds one quickly or you just start looking for someone else who may have that solution.

Absolutely. We’ve become so used to that side of the club working well that it’s maybe hard to acknowledge he may have played his role in this as well.
Slot didn’t say that he doesn’t know how to solve the problem. He said that they haven’t found the answer yet.
As hard as it is to watch or to follow as a Liverpool fan, there’s nothing else for him to do or say than to keep working…
Unless you want him to be one of those who hides behind manager speak.
It’s all good being the mythical genius creatures pulling all the strings in the shadows when it’s going well. Quickly gets a touch of letting middle managment hang out to dry publicly when it doesn’t. Bit of an exaggeration, I know, but you get my point.
It’s not their role…
And why would they speak anyways?
Why isn’t it that part of their role and why shouldn’t they speak? Why should players and the head coach be expected to speak?
It is what it is.
It assumes that the club is in crisis. We’re not.
The team’s lost 4 straight PL games but there’s 87% of the season left…
You don’t need the clubs executives in the media explaining why we lost games…
The issues involved are entirely within the remit of the coach. And a very capable one at that…

If you haven’t found the answer, it means that you don’t know what it is. 
It doesn’t mean that he won’t find it, obviously. But his runway isn’t endless.
Not really.
It only means that you haven’t found a solution that works, YET.
He knows what the problem is and he has several solutions. Just hasn’t found one that would lead to a win and the right level of performance.
My disagreement is the suggestion that he’s clueless.
We have a sporting director and a CEO of football. There’s no reason why at least one of them shouldn’t be able to face questions about sporting matters, for example transfer strategy/general philosophy on a regular basis, crisis or not, other than tradition, what you’re used to.This is completely normal, not only in other leagues but also other sports, that have a similar hierarchy.
But I’ll let it go.

Show me where I said he was clueless. I said he had to find a solution, and soon, or someone else will have to.
I’ll say this could go like Rodgers or the season we had under Klopp after our last title season.
Let’s see how we go. It didn’t get much worse for Klopp…..

Klopp at least had the excuse of having to rely on Rhys Williams and Ozan Kabak.
Well actually they were in the team when we started to improve. It was before that
It’s the same thing mind. Can he find a solution.
Perhaps you missed where Hughes spoke about the summer transfer window.
It was widely reported. I read it in The Athletic

I read it too. A rare interview. Wow.
Where you said the following: “Slot is lost as to how to solve these issues.”

And it’s rare for a reason. Would I like more? Absolutely!
But the football business is a lot trickier to navigate than the say Howie Rossman in the NFL
