You know sacking him is not the only way. Maybe he could decide to resign.
What does Slots record in K.O. Games with us look like in CL, LC, FA Cup and CS?
I have no idea, but in 1987 money it was less a million nearly a decade after british clubs broke the million pound threshold. It was a fee other clubs were also routinely paying. It is just not a comparison.
Is that plucked out of thin air as of his worth.
900k now is roughly 3.25m

Try and sign anyone of the quality of those for 3.25m.
I would have agreed with that but as long as this carries on it gets harder. Poor results against Villa and City say only get a point 1 from 18 the position is becoming unrecoverable.

What’s his views on the diamond?
Yeah, but if this can be the springboard for something else I’ve been meaning to write for a while, you know what else is uncharted territory? Having a player killed in a fucking car crash.
How quickly we forget what these lads and this manager have been through. How blithely we gloss over this gaping chasm in their lives and their working environment.
In the days that followed the crash, once the footballing implications had started to become tentatively discussed, did anyone else have the same thought that I had - this season might be really tough for the players? Mo Salah said in an interview he wasn’t looking forward to coming back after the tragedy, and what a surprise, he’s played like shit.
I’ve been calling for patience for footballing reasons - Slot has credit in the bank for winning the league, he has shown what he can do, and he needs time to shape his new team. The club gives managers time when they need it.
But we also need to remember that this ‘bald waste of space’ ((c) the ironically named @YoullNeverWalkAlone) also had to guide his team through a challenge unlike any other manager has had to face this summer. And he did so incredibly well.
So, from me, he gets patience and fucking loads of it. Because he, and the team, deserve it.

4 years ago we lost 6 in 8, which I suppose isn’t much better.

I think the point is comparing transfer fees from genartion to genertion is pointless. The first 8 figure transfer fee wasn’t till 1996 with the 15m Shearer move 4 years after the start of the Premier league.
Was that the Covid season (the actual one not the one we wrapped up before Covid happened)?
We’ve won 4 games in preseason and started the season with 7 wins but now we’re using Diogos death for the recent result.
Doesn’t work for me.

Yep. CB crisis, Hendo and Fab taking turns back there.
Also under Kenny in 11/12 we lost 6 in 7 (albeit league only), where we scraped through Cardiff on pens in the cup final.

I agree its poor deflection.

Stop it.
No-one at the club will ever use this as an excuse. They will never do that.
But if you watched these players and this manager have to deal with that this summer, have to lay flowers at Anfield clearly heartbroken. If you cried for a lad you never met and wondered how on earth these boys would pick themselves up to play football again, and then a couple of months later you are calling them all fucking useless, and demanding the manager be sacked, then, to be frank, fucking shame on you.
Our best player last season said was dreading coming back to work. How do you think the rest of them feel?

It was the Pickford kung fu attack season

You have no fucking idea how it has impacted on the team and Slot. It isn’t getting discussed. Everyone has moved on and is pretending it never happened.
But I bet you anything when the stories of this season is told in retrospect, these players will talk about how much it’s affected them.
I’m not saying it’s the sole reason for our struggles, and I’m not saying Slot is blameless, but I do think we all need to take a deep breath, calm the fuck down, and remember that a few months ago the question was how these players would play football again, never mind win a league title.
