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…..
The knives come out because nobody fears the hammer.

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

In Germany it’s normal that all kind of hierarchy above the head coach (like manager and sporting director) speak to the media. Basically you hear them once a week - either before the matches or in the news.
Personally I hate that but guess that’s where @Cologne-Liverpool is coming from.

This is from the TIA article about the Hughes interview.
“It is rare that we hear from Hughes, with Slot the one left to discuss transfer business publicly despite his defined role as a head coach, which is not always fair on the Liverpool boss.”
Apprently it’s not just some German who’s noticing this. It’s weird to me that this is still treated like a ‘manager’ from the past, when it’s not the role anymore.
Doesn’t have to be every week for me, but sometimes it could help take some pressure off the coach. And just for the record, I said this on here when Slot was given the job, that this would be my hope for the future. That’s all. Thank you for attention in this matter.

Remember Arne’s 1st game, half time Quansah not performimh and he unceremoniously hooked him, that is what is needed now show to players that you have to perform or somoeone else will have the opportunity.
As long as we have enough subs 
He must be blind to the fact Gakpo and Salah stink the fucking place out every game when the whole fanbase can see it.

Whereas I don’t think we even have a 5th and 6th choice centre back?
