What a cool name. Wish I thought of that!!!

And why is that notion so silly? If you were him, you’d cling to the belief that you’d get things right, even though literally nothing you’ve done for a full calendar year managed to yield any meaningful results? Your players don’t look like they’d run through the walls for you, they don’t look like a unit that trains together, let alone one that is able to string a few meaningful attacks together or consistently stop opposition like a cohesive unit. The team is breaking all sorts of negative records, too. I’m yet to find the stat about the ratio of goals scored from play vs. those from set pieces in 2026 but I think it won’t make for a pretty viewing either.
If the rolling PL table I found online is correct, for the past calendar year, it reads: P40 W18 D9 D13, goals scored 67, goals conceded 56, overall position is 5th. If you were the boss of a club of Liverpool’s stature, would you still believe you could turn that around, taking everything that has been going on into consideration?
Slot and his team have got me truly believing that anything below eight goals conceded over two legs against PSG would not count as a disaster - maybe the owners are waiting for them to strike those final nails into the coffin of Slot’s Liverpool career to make them look like they have given him every opportunity to turn it around. Otherwise, I can’t explain their indolence.

Gandalf’s dick. The one thing nobody has ever wondered about or even considered. Until now.

Because
a) Slot will still believe he can turn it round. He is a coach working at the very top of the game and he wouldn’t have got this far without possessing a huge amount of belief in himself and his methods.
b) Even if he did privately believe that he isn’t up to the job, he is still under contract for another year and entitled to a pay off should he be fired. He is not going to willing forego millions of pounds to willingly resign, just because we’re pissed and want him to just fuck off.

And, if he did, it would almost be an admission of unemployability for any next club. What manager falls on his sword and admits being out of their depth. It’s post-catholic.

And Brendan Rodgers has a huge amount of belief in himself,
how did that turn out?
Maybe they believe everything they have said. Maybe they think that he is the right man and this season is an aberration?
Maybe Xabi Alonso had said he will take over, but only at the end of the season?
Maybe they don’t want to throw a new guy in against City and PSG?

He probably still does.
Doubt he thinks any different, Slot hasn’t yet throw his best man from his wedding under a bus so I’ll hold fire that Slot is any worse but it’s got Rodgers era ending vibes.

That isn’t the point.
I was reply to Livvy, who asked why he was embarrassingly clinging to the job despite being out of his depth, instead of just resigning.
It’s irrelevant what you and I, or Livvy think about his ability as a manager. He isn’t going to resign, and neither would any of us in his situation.

Slot doesn’t owe anyone a resignation. FSG need to take the initiative and sack him.

Just For Men adverts?
To summarise
Lots of talk about the appendage of some bloke with a beard and wears bedsheets. Also carries a stick.
Oh, and Slot out.

That was one of the factors Klopp gave when discussing his decision to leave. He believed that they had put together the basis of a rejuvenated squad that could compete at the top and he wanted to allow his successor that benefit.
Just by looking at the way we play - players who looked great only a week ago whilst playing for their national teams - and I think it’s fair to say that we’re not performing anywhere near the same level as the team that Slot inherited.
Nevermind any debate about actual talent, we don’t even seem to have the conditioning to get through a single game without the majority of the team looking like they’re struggling to run around the pitch.
If we’re going to have a chance to compete next year whoever is in charge is going to have to do a hell of a lot in pre-season just to get the fitness levels up, let alone get them working like a cohesive unit with a defined playing style and tactical ideology.
Does anyone believe that Slot is the person best suited to oversee this in the summer? Especially with the world cup cutting down the amount of time that we’ll have all the players together.
Does anyone believe the team/squad are in a better place at the moment than we were when Slot replaced Klopp?

In retrospect van Cronkhorst was a bad choice.
