I don’t think Pearce is particularly in the loop anymore.
A lot of what he writes is just recycled stuff from Joyce and Ornstein, with his own opinion weaved into it.

I suspect you might be right, but I’ll especially note that with respect to this article. I don’t think it told me anything that wasn’t reported already, so I don’t really see the need to parse the language he’s using with respect to Slot’s position.

My guess would be the other way around:
75% gone before next season starts
25% still here
We will of course get a few more data points in the coming weeks so the percentages might change, but that’s about how I see it right now.
Up until the moment the manager is sacked, the club needs to show full support. Otherwise the manager becomes a lame duck.
You can’t read too much into leaks/press releases one way or another.
The season is not over (FA cup and CL) the club leadership would expect success in one of these. The clubs hierarchy will take little notice of the noise from fans (Contrary to what Pearce says) it will already be exploring options in contingency.

Carra talks some shite but I think this is a fair point. I still need to come to terms with the fact that we might never have another period where I enjoy watching Liverpool as much as under the Klopp years

Not only it isn’t a valid point, it’s also a condescending one. As if Liverpool fans are stupid and can’t understand what they are seeing with their own eyes. Some might have got spoilt during the Klopp years, but this isn’t it.
Irrespective of the title win, if the team was showing some promise under Slot, the vast majority would be in his corner.

As a devoted fan of all things LFC for many a year, I am ashamed of myself by thinking, I have zero, zilch, nada interest in anything Slot has to say anymore, even after bringing the title home last season.
Abject performances have become a common theme, we know that, but I am still unsure why my feelings have deteriorated so much so, that it rests at the low point it now is.
However, if I had to nominate one reason, and one reason alone to sit at the top of the pile, I would cite that if my opinion can be gauged as a marker, then there is a disconnection between Slot and the LFC fanbase itself now, that is fracturing even wider on a weekly basis. In a sort of cold fish rebuke kind of way, I see the fans were hailing him as the next coming of the messiah after Jurgen, and why not after the apprehension of this new guy coming in to take control were eased somewhat when he seemed perfect for the role… Slowly though, I feel he has failed to embrace the love that was on offer from us. Maybe even thrown it back at us this season with his lame excuses for poor performance or citing some of our players as culprits and villains to deflect blame from himself…
When I read he was on the plane home to Holland immediately after our last game before the Brighton post-mortem match reviews debacle had even been written, I suppose this is the moment I could call my tipping-point moment of any lingering loyalty towards him as LFC manager.
While I feel a tad dismayed how he has allowed us to to spiral in such an embarrassing fashion this season, any anger for the way LFC are seemingly being hollowed out from the inside, has been put on hold for the time being. Slot has a fanbase second to none. The sad thing is, just like the multi-talented players he has at his disposal, he is (or has been) incapable of mobilising and motivating us to create a juggernaut of a team others have assembled in the past. If he left tomorrow, there would be no tears shed in my household…!
It just feels so grim at the moment.

Was taking a wider view on what he said than whether Slot should stay or go. I think he should go btw. Just that Klopp is a unicorn and there’s no guarantee that things will get better under another coach

Arne na na, arne na na, goodbye…
Let him lose to PSG and then give Alonso the last few game weeks to work out who he likes and what he wants to do with the squad

End it now.
Players have given up. Fans have given up. And it feels like Slot has given up too.
We are not making the CL places with him in charge.

How stupid would they look if they sack him now? Did anyone really think there’s a chance of silverware two weeks ago?

Agree with you and that’s fine.
But Slot has crossed the proverbial Rubicon. The trust and belief that he has lost from the players and the fans is unrecoverable at this point.

Keep him in and we get humiliated by PSG and don’t finish in the UCL places. I’ll put money on it.
Times ticking FSG.

Slot’s season is already longer than all The Walking Dead seasons combined.
