| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 30th May 2026. 12:45 Head coach Arne Slot has been sacked by Liverpool after two seasons in charge. The Dutchman, 47, guided the Reds to their 20th league title in his debut season but they have struggled during his second year, finishing fifth in the Premier League. Recently departed Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is the leading contender to replace Slot. "That this was a difficult decision for us to make as a club goes without saying. The contribution Arne has made to Liverpool FC in the time that he has been with us has been significant, meaningful and - most importantly of all to supporters and ourselves - successful," Liverpool`s owners Fenway Sports Group said in a statement. "As such, our appreciation for everything he has achieved could not be greater, particularly as it was underpinned by a work ethic, a diligence and a level of expertise which further underlined our view that he is a leader in his field. "From the moment that we first encountered Arne, it was immediately clear that he is an individual who does not merely accept responsibility, he embraces it." Reply |

They`re only in the Champions League because they managed to win their first 5 matches - and were lucky to do so in most of them. They also spent a truck load of cash to improve the squad, from a position of strength as defending champions. The biggest surprise is that they didn`t line up Alonso to take over. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equal rights and justice in this time Reply |
| 5. Author: evo! Date: Sat 30th May 2026. 15:47 Had a surprisingly great season followed by a surprisingly bad season, hard to know if I rate Slot or not as a result. Probably about right, as the problems Liverpool had at match one last season still existed at match 38. No hint of an improvement at all, or learning lessons is prob what led to the axe to fall BEAST! Reply |

Author: GG Riva Date: Sat 30th May 2026. 21:06 It`s hard not to jump to the conclusion that Liverpool sounded out Andoni Iraola, otherwise why would he leave the club that has just achieved the best season in its entire history and he was worshipped by everyone connected Bournemouth?  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |

Author: GG Riva Date: Sat 30th May 2026. 21:34 Parsdaft21346327964, Sat 30 May 21:17 Maybe so, but it would be quite arrogant of him to announce he was leaving and not having another job to go to. He actually comes across as a very humble and likeable man, as well as a shrewd manager. Surprised he`s not been linked with Man City. Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
