3ps, I doubt Slot can wait for any particular player, he is not in the loop of who gets bought or sold. He has no say on it.
If the board actually backed him to be our long term manager they would come out and offer him a new deal as of next summer there is only one year left on his contract.
I think there is a 50/50 chance he will go this summer, if not I think we are looking at a 75% chance that he will go next winter. Then there is no freaking way he stays longer than the whole season.
I doubt he was honest with us when he stated that he had not heard the fans singing for another manager, it looks more and more that he is aware of how the fans are turning their backs on him and he can only blame himself for that.
Imagine if he had stayed behind in Liverpool and gone to the bloody pub and celebrated there instead of with Rooney in Ibiza. Or at least picked up one word with a scouse accent, just something to connect with the fans. He got the keys to the city and spends no time there. Even before his arrival there was 60k fans chanting his name.
If he was backed by the board he would get a new contract, everything done in this year and the last suggest we are in the midst of a transition that will end in 2027. 100% new manager, Edwards and Hughes will probably leave as well.
I think Edwards is the 2nd most trusted man at the club for FSG, Klopp surpassed him but Edwards was brought in to do this transition. Hughes has been aggressive in the market, most of the signings are for the future not the now. Only Chelsea have more u23 players with international experience than us in the league I think.
