Would very confidently give you a list of bullet points, some of which are total bullshit. And never admit they are wrong.

Yeah. I think the issue is less about whether the title is a “flash in the pan” or whatever - it most certainly is not. There’s no such thing as a Premier League winner that’s a “flash in a pan.”
I think the better question - one that you’re driving at - is whether the 2024-25 title confirmed that Slot is a great manager capable of pulling us out of adversity and finding creative solutions to the problems we’re facing.
And that’s where I’m inclined to agree that the title gives him some credit, but not enough for me to be convinced that he’s the man who can pull us out of the funk we’re in.
The best managers are those that raise standards in the face of adversity. Slot did not face much adversity last year on the pitch. This year he has faced a huge amount of adversity, and he has yet to demonstrate that he has the ability to pull us out of it.
I hope he figures it out, because I like Slot quite a bit. But I’m very concerned about seeing the same issues arise again and again.

Kenny at least walked away from Blackburn and his replacement just was not up to it and was never really #1 material. Im pretty sure Chelsea fired 2 separate league winning managers within a season of them winning the title

I don’t see the relationship of a CEO running a company vs a football coach.
Yes they’re both managers but the specific operational variables they deal with are vastly different.
Surely you are not serious
It’ll be 4 next year after Arsenal win the league.

For the record, I wasn’t referring to the team with the flash in the pan characterisation, but to Slot’s first few months in charge.
It feels a bit strange posting this here, but the rumors from Austria about Glasner are getting louder. I just saw that Austrian tabloids are even reporting that Glasner’s move to us is already a done deal and will happen this winter. They cite sources close to him, and the “well-informed Indykaila account” is also supposedly reporting on it now. 
The fact that the Austrians are citing Indy as a source is, of course, somewhat amusing, but otherwise they’re relying mainly on voices from Glasner’s inner circle, and you never know with those.
I fear the rumors will only die down if Arne manages to stabilize us again.

I wouldn’t take that too seriously!! We would need permission to speak with him etc so it’s clearly not a done deal. I’d be looking for someone who has already been there, done it and wonbit with at least one top club personally.
I’m baffled by many of his recent decisions but Slot overcame the odds to help us breeze to the title.
So we have a manager here who could be top but is facing a managerial crisis in a situation he has never faced before… i.e., he isn’t the complete deal manager.
Hampered by:
a) a very unbalanced squad
b) unfamiliar squad
c) an entire missing / underperforming right side
I would say he needs help more than a replacement and we could be challenging again.
Starting with a proper right CB, a proper wide player and as I don’t see much happening there: Bajcetic healthy to give MacAllister a break here and there.

I’m struggling to remember all those second place finishes for Leicester and Blackburn.
What years were they again?
