Mate Thiago is the best technical player I´ve seen at the club, he also had the greatest vision, he had everything except the physicality required to be the best player on the planet. The 22 season was amazing in retrospect, we came so close to the unthinkable and played some of the best football I´ve seen.
I´m almost certain that we will keep faith in Slot until the summer though but a humiliation in our next game might be enough to topple him, I almost feel like we are at the same stage as with Hodgson at this stage of the season.
Nobody around the club has any confidence heading into the next match, not even the kitchen staff. I would not even be against Slot just based on the results, I just find him to weak for the job. He can´t protect his squad and the more we see us playing his style of football the further the fanbase goes away from him.
I´d actually take Thiago in as a interim head coach until the end of the season, I got more faith in his football brain than Slot´s.

De Zebri still maintains a good reputation so might be in the mix.
Sean might have won the quadruple isn’t an argument. Last season we won the league but still for half of thr season we actually played some terrible football, a prologue to this season. Klopp tried to slow it down, Slot did and won the league but that was just part of the transition to the crap we see now rather than by design.
Saw a random clip the other day of a goal scored by Emre Can in an early Klopp game. The ball was fizzed first time and with pace forwards and backwards 30 yards or so, moving the oppostion all over the place. Overloads and triangles galore. Not a particular memorable goal because that was standard play in those days but boy i miss that style.

Threeps De Zebri is a shout, I still find the idea of Thiago coming in as pretty appealing. I don´t think I have seen a player with a greater football heritage than him, he breathes football and has been making his rounds around Europe as a coach. He speaks fluently 5 languages, knows the club, knows the players. He would not need to reinvent the system, just go back to what he knows that works for the club. I had not even thought about him as a option until 15 minutes ago, he actually makes sense. Insta respect from the players as well, is one of the more cultured players that we have had at the club and is obviously heading into this direction. I would actually take him in as a interim head coach until the end of the season at a moments notice right now.

I don’t know if De Zebri is an option but he was considered I believe along with Slot, Nagelsmann and Alonso. Alonso was no 1, he said no and we ended up with no 2 in Slot.
Nagelsmann I think has extended with the German national team until 2028 so can count him out.

“Something brewing?!”
Is it a Slot and Hughes mixture being stirred by Edwards before he tips it out down the sink?

Tuchel is also available after the summer but I don´t think Nagelsmann has extended, I reckon both would be available after the summer. Klopp might move into international management as well and he is pretty much guaranteed then either the German job or the English one if he does so. Guardiola´s contract is also up I think and he could move into international management as well. There is gonna be big merry go around of managers this summer. I don´t wanna give Alonso another chance to reject us and I certainly do not want him if Madrid sack him. Tuchel would be my main target, he got experience everywhere, won titles everywhere. He also fits the style of play I would want. Close 2nd is Nagelsmann as I think he would have a whole project ready for us, he was too early for Bayern. They even admitted so, I hope he wants back into club management but we are not gonna get any top manager or head coach in until the summer.
I would swap out Slot for Thiago right now, I just remember him on the sidelines translating stuff from Klopp to Nunez for example. Klopp had a one minute dialogue of what to say to Nunez, Thiago took three seconds and I think Nunez won us the match. He has a football brain, maybe even a greater brain than Alonso. Neymar even described him as a more technical player than himself and that is coming from quite the ego player.
That is a head coach I would trust to improve our players. Cause he had the mentality, he had the technicality and he did everything to remain fit despite it failing. His whole family is footballers, or athletes. He got connections to the greatest coaches in history and is a adopted Scouser. His father winning the world cup with Brazil, cause I´ve thought about who could come in and steady the ship and get us out of playing this dire football and it´s a very short list.
Gerrard, I got my doubts about him as a top manager, he might serve us well as a interim and if anyone should be trusted with the job it should be him but I think Thiago is smarter than Gerrard. Then we have a couple of managers like De Zerbi, who knows the English game but he is not really a top level manager quite yet. Most of the candidates would wanna influence things in their own way and Thiago is the one guy I think would just come in and go let´s get back to basic!
Basic according to the club, he would not try to impose a new style of play on us, just make good with what he has. Or that is my reasoning and I quite like my reasoning on this as I am so tired of watching us play this season.

Then let´s just agree on Thiago as interim lol 😉 why not Tuchel, he likes to press, control games. The problem with him is that he has never been allowed to stay in one place for long enough. I would have my doubts about Luis Enrique working here, I don´t think he would realize how intense the game is here. Without prior experience, same thing with Slot, he thinks his slow game can work here. We would need another billion pounds to require the talent for that. In this league, IMHO.

Had the phone-in last night to listen to chat and the callers for the first 2 hours. One interesting call which was effectively all centred around Amorim’s successor was actually a fair point made on considering putting a small group of ex-players together.
For us, Gerrard would be a good place to start. Even though it’s Rangers, he has credentials. If these so-called pundits are prepared to come out of their comfort zone and return back to grass roots, then I for one would Welcome this as opposed to trying to court a Manager from Europe or around the World.

Remember though guys two successors of this head have both been Managers not Head Coaches. One still exists in Pep Guardiola.

Bingo, Thiago? Where has that come from? His experience thus far is a little coaching at Barca.
He only has a UEFA B license I think, means he cannot be head coach in the PL. Need a Pro license.

Now, im thinking something moght put the foot back on the accelerator.
One rumour tumbling around is Guehi wont come to LFC due to the uncertainty of Slot and the next coach/manager. Will this rumour accelerate Slot’s removal or will we be going for a young profile player just happy to be going to LFC?!_____________________________

Threeps, I was just thinking up load yesterday mate… I was just wondering about which former player I would trust to come in and be the interim head coach and I would honestly trust him better than Gerrard but you guys are right he does not have the pro license

Gerrard wants to be a manager which is pretty ironic as he was rated as a coach for the youth team but not so much when he managed Villa.
But as I’ve said the problem with interims is its never just one person. Gerrard for example will want his back room team to come too. Makes it more complicated than a single negotiation.
Think it’s Slot to the end of the season unless one of the targets becomes available suddenly. Gives Edwards and Hughes if he’s still here time to identify the right man.

Yep this uncertainty over the manager & current state of the club will make January signings less likely – both from an attraction point of view and being unwilling to bring in a player for a manager who might not be there much longer. How quickly things can change from June/July…..

Im guessing a few of the backroom staff or coaches need to go as well, we have been in dire physical form this season.
It’s not just Slot who is failing the lads even though it’s mostly him. Like the whole Briggs fiasco, we promote a coach beyond his abilities and then sack him a few months later.
Briggs was not at fault, he was being asked to go beyond his capabilities as Slot could not have anyone else besides his old team.
The responsibility for that decision has to be on Slot, probably the worst decision of the season as evident by our record this season.
I would never have imagined a time where we got two absolute units at the back like Van Dijk and Konate and we have the worst record in the whole of Europe when it comes to defending set pieces.
It’s such mismanagement its beyond belief.
