Arne Slot

[Doc_Piptorious]

Just watched Ten Hag's interview after ManUre's game with Palace. Haunted, unable to explain and struggling to comprehend. And he is a more experienced manager than Arne.

ManUre of course has problems off the pitch and a squad that is not right in so many ways, and that is making his job so much harder but it just shows how easy and quickly a seemingly good manager can get lost.

He was in management for almost ten years when he left Holland. The highest level he reached being his time at Ajax.


Slot will have been in management for eight years if he comes to England this summer with his highest level being his time at Feyenoord.


Ten Hag had 437 games as a manager before comeing to England, but 72 of them were as manager of a reserve team, so 365 games as manager of a first team. Slot has 240 as manager of a first team.


Both also had time as assistant coaches etc.

Don't think in terms of experience that there is a huge gap between Slot now and Hag when he left Holland.

Which one is actually the better manager is another question altogether, though think it is a safe bet to say that the behind the scenes set ups at Liverpool are more established and less fractious than the same at Manchester United so we should be better placed to support a manager/coach.

Slot is a gamble no doubt but he will have a lot less BS to deal with then TH and expectations post klopp are probably in his favour.

If you ask me its more proof of how players turn up rather than the manager. As in for specific teams like us, they went all out. But for majority of the other teams they lower the bar. You wont get anything consistent from this team no matter the manager.

Another thing in Slot's favour is the club and squad culture. At Man Utd there's toxicity at all levels according to insiders and the team fall out of love with their managers too quickly and just give up. I can't see that with our club and out team even if Slot is an obvious fraud.

A would've been fine. You should write for the Athletic!

With the behind the scenes set up Liverpool have compared to Man U I think the way they go about analysing the candidates and researching every detail and speaking to people about what he is like would be a lot more detailed than what Man U would have or even still do.

I wouldn;t worry about the comparisons with ETH. He comes across as likeable as a start

Everyone is likable until they go mad. Remember Ged 'Football is the language' H?

i don't feel too worried. michael edwards has pulled plenty of rabbits out of his hat.

Yeah I agree with this. I’d be less whelmed if Edward’s hadn’t been the deciding factor in the appointment.

[Deano]

I assume the announcement will be next week now, both have one more game to play.

I imagine everything is signed and it's just optics at this stage.

It'd be in bad taste to announce Slot this close to Jurgens final game.

[Angryred]

Yep, all in good time...a lot can be said for that.
