Hello all,

Alonso and his agent made a late effort to engage with LFC, however, it wasn’t met with much positivity.

As I stated a couple of weeks back, Hoeness is being seriously considered. Lack of English making certain folk a little hesitant.

I believe as it stands a deal can be done here but we need to pursue this efficiently and quit the dilly dallying.



There are big things going on behind the scenes with Slot, Hughes, Edward’s and the owners. Can’t get into it any deeper but things are happening.

Ta.

16 May 2026 22:37:24
Thanks, Carra. Hopefully Slot gone next weekend and a new era begins. Hoeness has been spoken very highly on this site by many posters, so I'd be happy to welcome him on board.

11


16 May 2026 22:39:24
Cheers, Carra. Disgusted with the club, to be honest. I'll welcome any change as Slot isn't it. But I'm sceptical with any decision our club makes.

14


16 May 2026 22:40:24
Cheers Carra! So you think the news we all want is coming? πŸ™πŸ»

2


16 May 2026 22:40:36
Thanks Carra. Hopefully the club will do the right thing. It's not really important who the new manager is, as long as it is not Slot.

6


16 May 2026 22:41:29
Would be happy with Hoeness. Plays similar to Klopp's football.

4


16 May 2026 22:42:02
Thanks for the info, Carra. Would you say good things happening or more of the same...

16 May 2026 22:44:43
Speculation:
- Alonso as a club legend (of sorts) scares the **** out of FSG (see Dalglish / Gerrard).
- Alonso wanted say in transfers scares **** out of middle managers clinging to power.

If Edwards and Hughes aren’t also run out of town as result of this debacle, then we’re not out of the nightmare.

More for Isak than Cherki, Guehi & Semenyo combined; playing Gakpo 250k p/w and not upping Diaz from 55k; these decisions alone mean that Edwards' reputation should be sunk forever.

Pray for Hoeness, or Iraola, and goodbye to those clearly out of their depth.

17


16 May 2026 22:46:53
Hoeness, lack of English??? The man speaks better English than most English people.

17


16 May 2026 23:06:07
I would personally prefer Hoeness as the next manager. Has a definitive way of playing and clear tactics, but would need backing in the summer transfer window because he would definitely need a number of players to play his style and formation.

2


16 May 2026 23:07:46
Thanks, Carra. Have been waiting all day for an update from you. Hopefully, Slot and STC are on their way out along with Edwards.

2


16 May 2026 23:08:03
Never mind Hoeness, I'd take Bob Holness of Blockbusters fame over Slot.

12


16 May 2026 23:20:25
lol!! Hoeness speaks better English than most English people.

6


16 May 2026 23:43:39
Hoeness speaks really good English? He can even be witty speaking English.

6


16 May 2026 23:54:41
Sorry, his lack of English is complete nonsense.
Hoeness speaks fluent English.
He's done press conferences in English. Even answering a question from a Scottish journalist before a Celtic game.
In English.

Not being funny, but I thought u said Xa was all wrapped up months ago !!!

Xabi Alonso.

17 May 2026 00:18:35
What things are happening, Carra?

17 May 2026 00:21:00
Liverpool cannot be an academy for up and coming Managers. Hoeness has won nothing. It's utterly ridiculous. We need a proven Manager. The people running the club are just totally inept.

3


17 May 2026 00:22:00
In fact I'd rather have Steven Gerrard as Manager.

1


17 May 2026 00:31:16
Iraola all day every day. Get back to heavy metal attacking football as Salah put it.

4


17 May 2026 00:39:35
Cheers Carra.

1


17 May 2026 00:51:38
Cheers, Carra.

I'd be pretty underwhelmed with Hoeness or Iraola. Newcastle, Spurs level hires.

This club is massive! It would swallow both of them and spit them out.

2


17 May 2026 01:09:28
Thanks, Carra. Seems like Xabi will be announced as Chelsea manager soon. I'm quite gutted reading that on BBC this morning. And I'm quite worried reading that there might not be any change with Liverpool, manager-wise. I don't believe Slot will do any better next season.

1


17 May 2026 01:11:48
Cheers, Carra. Always love your updates - if I may - what did you mean with lack of English? As an Irishman.... I don't mind, but anyway. πŸ˜‚ All joking aside, your input is greatly valued. I think we have learned over the last while, that all manner of "leaks" are for some reason a great great issue within the higher ups. I'd of course find results on the pitch more of an issue, but that's just me. Could you elaborate on what you said about "things happening?" You also eluded to the possibility that your vein to the club might be drying up or something along those lines, which I took as your sources. If so, it's a terrible day for the site. Going to be honest, I still think you are Macca in disguise, but that's probably just me. Regardless, Carra/Macca. Your posts are so welcomed. You came in after we lost a god, and it's been wonderful. Thanks, mate. Ynwa.

1


17 May 2026 01:46:45
I've literally just watched a video of Hoeness in a press conference before a game against Celtic and his English was impeccable. These ITK's really need to keep things vague because once they get into details, they get caught out.

1


17 May 2026 02:25:48
Probably already been said above by others, but...

"Hoeness is being seriously considered. Lack of English making certain folk a little hesitant."

The certain folk that are hesitant about his English clearly haven't spoken to him... In English!
His English is as good as, if not better than Klopp when he first arrived.

Minor detail, but just makes one wonder what nonsense is going on within the club and who's being fed what.

1


17 May 2026 03:28:30
I'm not excited by Hoeness one little bit.

But will back him as a project and be here from day one to back him against the inevitable Hoeness-out posts that flood these pages if he doesn't hit the ground running.

Also his English is fine.

16 May 2026 20:51:46
Anfield Agenda reporting Slot is gone. Won’t be here next season.

19


16 May 2026 21:30:15
Too late, now settle for a manager who hasn't won anything.

9


16 May 2026 21:30:23
"Anfield Agenda is a popular Liverpool FC fan channel known for live watchalongs, match reactions, and daily news updates, boasting 380K subscribers. While it serves as a highly active source for fan opinion, it is generally considered a low-reliability source for breaking, exclusive news, with some community feedback suggesting it should be avoided, according to Reddit discussions."

10


16 May 2026 21:31:50
"gone" or "going"?

I'd be really shocked if they sacked him before the last game unless something "big" has happened.

5


16 May 2026 21:35:07
Is he reliable?

1


16 May 2026 21:45:24
Craig is dead on. He's a good chap and very emotional about current state of affairs. He posts every day so there is no incentive for him to post bull because he does streams every day anyway so it makes no difference to him.

But he has heard from a "Top tier journalist" that he won't be here next season. Apologies for spelling mistakes, can't find my reading glasses.

9


16 May 2026 21:45:27
He just talks nonsense 99% of the time. Just one of the YouTube channels that charges gullible fans subscription with no true info just fat bald Irish guy talking s*** most of the time.
He even used to do live shows till people stopped buying tickets.

12


16 May 2026 21:51:20
Mostly just talks about what stories are in the rags. Quotes from the Metro or Marca. Never has any info of his own.

5


16 May 2026 21:57:33
The guy is toxic like a Goldbridge, but cries on live stream. Always slags off the season ticket holders.

6


16 May 2026 22:04:41
You don't have to pay to subscribe to a YouTube channel. I mean you can be a paying member if you want. I've always thought he's one that genuinely gives a f*** about our club, as many of us do.

5


16 May 2026 22:05:47
What's his nationality got to do with it, Grino?

5


16 May 2026 22:13:06
I'd much rather listen to Goldbridge than that guy.

4


16 May 2026 22:28:23
Craig and Connor are absolute gentlemen when my family and I met him and he represents the feelings for a lot of fans all around the world, he's genuine and honest and has the balls to say the truth unlike the journos who are in FSG pockets.



He stopped doing live shows because doing it cripples his nerves. He has contacts who aren't usually within the club, are 90 % right.

He only gets hot under the collar when trolls are about but he's hilarious when replying to them. Well worth a watch.

5


16 May 2026 22:34:09
He's gone pretty hairline with it like seems like he will have a fair bit of egg on his face if he's wrong. Fingers crossed he's on to something.

2


16 May 2026 22:35:02
Craig is a hot headed, foul mouthed bully who verbally abuses anyone who shares even the slightest difference in opinion within his chat. Not to mention the countless times he's spoke so horribly of Arne Slot as an individual, including so recently saying "for once in your useless f**king life, resign"

I am all for disdain with managers on a sporting level, but at the end of the day they are people and it's just a sport. Look at what happened with Matt Beard. They're human too.

And for that, I don't respect anything Craig has to say.

11


16 May 2026 23:02:05
Is this the fat baldy Irish lad? My dad couldn't stand him, always said he was a moaner πŸ˜‚

4


16 May 2026 23:27:28
Haji Hoeness won the German Cup n took Stuttgart from team that survived relegation to UCL next season, finishing second, has reached another German Cup final.

1


17 May 2026 00:21:34
A lot of what Victor said. And can't understand people saying he has contacts. Literally relays the day's LFC news in a video.

2


16 May 2026 20:25:22
Apparently Dick & Ted turned down Alonso because he asked for a bit of power regarding transfers, Alonso has been given assurances at Chelsea he will have control of who comes & goes.

7


16 May 2026 21:29:33
I don't buy that, I'm afraid, but thanks for posting.

8


16 May 2026 21:35:18
Problem is, their finances are all over the place with players on bonkers long contracts that I can't see many players coming in. Especially without Europe. I don't blame Alonso - I just wonder, has he again blown his chances to manage us in the future.

Right now, I couldn't ever see him coming. Not that it'll matter. Slot will still be in the dugout a decade from now as we strive to get back into the CL.

6


16 May 2026 21:48:13
Fully buy that. I've been saying it would be an issue since January. It's been reiterated by multiple ITK's. All reports are stating Alonso will have considerable influence on transfers. Clearly it's a decisive factor, as it should be.

6


16 May 2026 21:50:17
Yeah, he has gone down in my opinion for taking the Chelsea job.
They are a f****** mess, and I can't think of a worse job to take.
He loses his Liverpool's legacy now. For me, there are many jobs out there, but he chose a direct rival.
For me, he was my first choice, but now I hope he never gets to manage us.

7


16 May 2026 21:53:10
I don't blame Alonso at all taking the job. Just don't ever see him managing us now. Shame.

10


16 May 2026 21:54:02
Chelsea's bet spend is Β£45m over the last two seasons. Their players, although on long contracts, apparently have clauses for missing out on Europe, so not many bonuses will be paid this year.

1


16 May 2026 21:54:31
I don't see him ever coming now and that's fine as long as there is a plan in place to get us back competing.

I wanted XA but I just want whoever is best suited.

3


16 May 2026 21:59:59
Rumour now, as it is, Mike Gordon is back on the scene, and he backed Jurgen over Edwards. Could the big man be tempted back?

5


16 May 2026 22:05:16
Bournemouth are the best pressing team in Europe according to the stats.
Robbo called it. Iraola it is. The next Enrique.

5


16 May 2026 22:42:07
Thanks, Ron, for your hunches as usual.
I totally buy that. What top manager would want to pander to dumb and dumber regarding transfers.

2


16 May 2026 22:59:49
I actually don't want Klopp back. He's obviously perfect for the club, but it's always risky trying to recapture magic, and it becomes a bit worrying because he won't be able to manage us forever.

There are options in the market, we just have to remove the three saboteurs.

2


16 May 2026 23:00:10
I was gutted about Semenyo and Guehi and now Alonso. Heads need to roll.

If Iraola is appointed I'd certainly back him. I know he hasn't won anything yet, but that will make him hungry to succeed. I am concerned about his family's reported inability to settle in the UK. If the reports are true, it could become a problem in the future.

2


16 May 2026 22:56:47
The fat bald Irish bloke spouts absolute garbage, watched him a couple of times and he just moans, wouldn't believe anything he says

3


17 May 2026 00:23:56
Love Jurgen. Man looked drained though by the time he stepped down. We should leave him be.

2


17 May 2026 04:28:36
Why is Xabi bad for going to Chelsea?

0


16 May 2026 20:20:35
Make of it what you will. Julian Ward might be installed as a new old sporting director at Liverpool in July.

9


16 May 2026 21:41:43
According to whom?

2


16 May 2026 22:43:07
@Stone, it's a rumour on a rumours page and not an absolute fact. Imagine it being Hogan's chauffeur.

1


16 May 2026 23:02:51
Yeah, saw that coming, suggested it a couple of weeks back. Anything would be better than who we have. Everything built under Klopp is falling apart. Things weren't even this bad under Rodgers or Hodgson. We've never seen this level of discontent from the players, the fans or the football community as a whole.

2


16 May 2026 19:30:44
Ok, being told by Man City informer friend that slot has accepted this season to be his mistake in showdown talks with the board. He has owned to it all and has asked club to give him the next season to change everything. He has said that he would understand club want to sack him and would accept it. There is no problem with the players and him and he has presented a brand of football next season that has the board convinced.



Again I know my friend's credentials but I will take any Liverpool related info from him with a pinch of salt.

But he told me at lunch today, and I went for a nap in the evening, and I wake up and Ornstein confirms Alonso to Chelsea.

So well with heavy heart my friend has been right all throughout it seems. We never contacted Alonso, his team contacted us and was shutdown.

9


16 May 2026 20:07:17
The players are staging a coup against him as we speak.

16


16 May 2026 20:08:58
Are you the real Cafu? Can you still play? We have a game next Sunday.

9


16 May 2026 20:09:14
Appreciate the post, but to say there is no problem between Sloth and the players is contradicted by Salah's post. There is definitely a disconnect between the players and Sloth that seems to be beyond repair. At this point, it's one of three possibilities: fragile egos, incompetence, or sabotage.

15


16 May 2026 20:14:20
Slot can say whatever claptrap he wants, but he's all season to change things but hasn't.

If (against all reason and logic), he's still here, then it's only going one way, and it won't be pretty.

He has shown that he has no ideas what to do when things go wrong, he can't organise a defence or midfield, struggles against almost every pattern of play you can think of, and nothing is ever down to him, he never takes ownership of his mistakes or failings.



This is a carbon copy of 14/15. Villa was Slot's Stoke City moment. If the senior management team allow this man to persist another season it is going to get very very toxic. There is only one answer, rip the plaster off, sack the man, sack him now and get Brentford out of the way. Do not let him continue one moment more.

17


16 May 2026 20:16:47
If it's true, we never made contact, then I'm completely done with every member of the hierarchy at this club, owners, too. You don't get to say "It wasn't my job." If the people you hire are failing, you step in. End of. It should have happened 6 months ago. Dereliction of duty from all involved. Unacceptable. Unforgivable.

7


16 May 2026 20:22:20
"There is no problem with the players and him"..... I think a certain Twitter post says otherwise.

10


16 May 2026 20:25:15
Sorry, but this story is complete bs and made up.

6


16 May 2026 20:31:48
There is zero chance he can change everything. And it is absolutely everything that needs to change. If the board bought that, they are absolute tools.

If one of my employees were struggling for a year and a half and told me they would change everything next year, I would probably internally laugh.

5


16 May 2026 20:54:56
100% vv. Get him gone.

2


16 May 2026 20:55:22
Absolute nonsense. A blind man could see that everything is wrong at the club, there's no way anyone's accepting that when, for one, if we give him till October and it's guff then there'll be no managers available and two, who the hell wants to sign for us with all this going on?
Should have gone in December, really disappointed with my club right now, they've done nothing to make the fans feel ok this last few months, if anything they've stoked the flames further.


Not a good time to be a red.

4


16 May 2026 21:39:54
Perhaps it is true that he claimed the players were behind him, and when Salah heard this he decided to say "f*** you Slot - you've lost the players". I'm probably wrong. I just needed to post the words "f*** you Slot" a couple times. Felt good, but I still feel like crap about all of this though.

4


16 May 2026 21:49:44
Love it, Stone, I'm going to call him Sloth from now on too!

0


16 May 2026 23:37:31
Slot is another Ten Hag and Van Gaal. The PL is too big for them, they got no answers or mentality for it.

Needs to be gone 1 minute after the final whistle blows next game. Thank you for last year, have a nice life.

0


16 May 2026 19:16:18
I honestly don't know what to say about Alonso going to Chelski, other than our club is being run by clowns.

I am still of the understanding that Slot won't be here come next season. Who will replace him? I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with Glasner, knowing the way the club is moving under the clowns in charge.

33


16 May 2026 19:36:01
Reading between the lines, it will be Iraola now that the Chelski and Manure jobs are taken.

8


16 May 2026 19:37:16
I would speculate that at least 2 of the 3 amigos will be sacked at the end of the season.

12


16 May 2026 19:39:29
It's almost as if they are intentionally sabotaging the club at this point. All because of their fragile egos.

15


16 May 2026 19:40:06
Luis Enrique is the choice if possible, I understand how hard that would be, but that's what we need to do.

Ken

8


16 May 2026 19:40:20
I've had enough now... This club is back to the dark days, all dismantled in one season!

13


16 May 2026 19:45:25
Not only are we ruining our reputation on the field of play, we are also being wonderfully competent at doing the same to our business model. FSG, better show their metal now.

8


16 May 2026 19:46:58
Clowns because Alonso wants to go to Chelsea?

3


16 May 2026 19:49:25
Do we actually know that Alonso did actually want to come to Liverpool?

4


16 May 2026 19:50:32
Iraola will not do anything. Bournemouth level, not Liverpool level. We are back to being a s*** run club.

6


16 May 2026 19:51:42
I really thought we had Alonso for next season, gutted. πŸ˜’

9


16 May 2026 19:54:07
What a mess we've become after Klopp and winning the league last season.

6


16 May 2026 19:58:21
It's boiling over quite bad. Liverpool fans will make it very clear we're not happy.

Salah is one of those fans, what a legend that man is, one week left on his Anfield contract and he's still fighting for us Liverpool Fans. Right at the front, like the leader he is.

14


16 May 2026 19:59:20
I can't see us going for Glasner, he's too much of a trouble-maker.

6


16 May 2026 19:59:46
I do finally get the feeling that a change may actually happen this summer. Something is happening, that's for sure.

In terms of managers, Enrique would be the absolute dream (obviously not happening). As much as I absolutely love Klopp, I'm not sure that's the right move for him or us. I'd actually be very keen on Cesc but would be happy with Iraola or Hoeness.

4


16 May 2026 20:05:57
Sounds likely Slot stays... Absolute joke.

2


16 May 2026 20:10:52
Luis Enrique will never come to Liverpool. He has the best job he could hope for and lives in a great city. No way he would ever come to Liverpool...

But I'd like him to.

5


16 May 2026 20:34:42
I wanted Alonso, now it's not happening if it ever was. Let's get Irola, but we definitely can't start the season with Slot in charge.

2


16 May 2026 20:46:04
Slot's position is untenable! He surely can't stay.... We need to give Robbo and Salah a good send off and let the board now we want Slot out.

3


16 May 2026 21:21:16
I think that the vibes were there initially and during the apparent recent conversations, hence my personal reluctance. Regardless of what's happening, his heart was never in it and I don't care what anyone says.

Anyway, him going to Chelsea may be the start of his reputation to sink as it's a proven poison chalice. I wish him the best of luck, but things happen for a reason.

1


16 May 2026 22:19:48
The last time the club actually spoke to Alonso's agent was when all the rumours about his assistant talking to Wirtz came out. Alonso was happy to come, otherwise he wouldn't have reached out through his assistant. Then we got gazumped by Chelski like we did twice by Citeh because of the clowns in charge.

It's not just the Alonso issue, that's just the latest of a long list of incompetence by Coco and the STC. Hogan, Gordon and Henry are just as culpable for allowing it to go on.

I was overreacting with Glasner. πŸ˜‚ I can't see it happening, and I'm not sure if Iraola is the answer either. Enrique is a no go.

5


16 May 2026 18:47:54
Mike Gordon is the FSG president who served as the primary bridge between the owners and Jurgen Klopp during Klopp's highly successful tenure as #LFC manager.
οΏΌ
Mike Gordon first choice would be to bring back Jurgen Klopp back to
@LFC.


Can the unthinkable happen?

8


16 May 2026 19:28:33
Sky Sports reporting Chelsea to confirm Alonso as new manager on Monday.

Which ITKs reported Alonso got it wrong?

14


16 May 2026 19:30:26
This might be the only thing to make me excited for next year... Sadly, cannot see it happening.

16 May 2026 19:32:11
Yes. But next year.

Racey, are you just sharing Indykaila posts?

6


16 May 2026 19:41:22
FSG don't want Klopp back. He held too much power over the club.

2


16 May 2026 19:51:51
We don't have ITKs. We lost our true and best ITK. :(

8


16 May 2026 20:04:19
Racey, I think living in Narnia and dreaming of the Return of Klopp would be every fan's biggest wish, but it just won't happen - his legacy and aura is already assured at Anfield! The 2nd biggest wish is that Slot is gone the day after Bournemouth - he cannot be given the keys to the kingdom anywhere near pre-season! Nagelsman after the World Cup or Iraola will be the only ones immediately available in the Summer...

unless wish No.3 is Luis Enrique says bye bye to PSG. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€ž

Exactly my point plus Macca!

16 May 2026 21:25:26
It's fine sharing, mate, and please carry on sharing, but saying "my contacts" when it's word for word from Indykaila's account means either you didn't know that or your "contact" has copy and pasted it.

Just say that when you post it.

Personally, would love it to be true, but probably wishful thinking!

@Rax, None of the ITKs 'got it wrong'. They were / are given information which they choose to pass on to fans on a Rumours forum. None of them have ever said that they are ITKs. They pass information on, which may or may not be accurate and, even if it is accurate when they post, it doesn't mean that the situation won't change.

People posting on a Rumours forum are Not to blame for anything that the club may, or may not, choose to do.

Ladies and gentlemen, tell me if you have thought of this!
I have a sneaky feeling Liverpool never even went in for Alonso seriously just like they never really went for Guehi the January transfer window and all the links was just hearsay because why would Alonso go to Chelsea if Liverpool were 100% interested and available? I think it’s just a guy wanting to get paid and take a job in football, which seems fair to me.

Yea, no s***, Sherlock.

16 May 2026 18:55:29
They didn't. All the reliable journalists said we never even spoke to him or his agent. I'm sorry, but a lot of the pretend ITK's on here just took quite a few mugs for a ride. People lap up unbelievable rumours when it matches what they want to hear.

16 May 2026 18:57:24
I think Chelsea have made him an unbelievable offer and he's asked Liverpool if they're going to match it.

Liverpool weren't ready to, so he has taken the offer from Chelsea.

I don't blame him, he wants a job, but I think he's been a bit hasty.

16 May 2026 19:09:31
Good for him. His choice. But I can never accept him as Liverpool manager at any point in the future.


Those in the boardroom have well and truly fluffed our club. If anyone can get a tube out of Chelski, it will be Xabi, but my oh my, this is really bad.

16 May 2026 19:16:18
A lot of reliable jernos said we were never in for him, maybe he waited to see if we came in and we didn't, so he has taken the Chelsea job. He will either be a great success or be sacked in 6 months and that will finish him! On Salah's comments about getting back to heavy metal football, it sounds like he wouldn't have wanted Alonso anyway, maybe more Ireola does that style better than anyone atm! Tho why would it matter what style it is if Mo isn't going to be here.

Maybe he's saying this to give Slot a push out the door so he can stay next season.

16 May 2026 19:26:25
We definitely made contact. He was our first choice when Klopp left. He's still our first choice, but talks broke down because Edwards is a control freak and Xabi isn't willing to leave anything on the table after what happened in Madrid; he's seen what a disaster this season's been for us when the manager has no control of transfers. It's a critical moment in his career; he needs his next job to be successful if he wants to continue to be viewed in the light he has been since Leverkusen, so, naturally, he's going to leave as little as possible up to incompetent suits like Hughes and Edwards if he doesn't have to.



I wouldn't be surprised if we left him on read after expressing a want to have more of a say in transfers.

16 May 2026 19:32:37
Klopp has asked to come back next year.

1


16 May 2026 19:38:56
Alonso was never in the running. He would want too much control and FSG want a coach, not a manager.

16 May 2026 19:43:32
No ill feelings towards Alonso, I have many though for the charlatans who run our club.

4


16 May 2026 19:47:31
You don't say... Been obvious for months that the powers that be at Liverpool don't rate Alonso particularly highly. In fact, it's fair to say, they can't rate him at all as they've made it clear they rate Slot higher. Been saying for months that all the ITKs claiming Alonso was a done deal etc etc were just peddling made up nonsense.

4


16 May 2026 19:58:34
Agree, MK.

The ITKs are very entertaining, so I wouldn't want them to go, but there hasn't been a shred of evidence that anything they've said about Slot has been true this season.

Maybe it is, but beyond their posts, there just is nothing to support it.

A lot of reputations were built on sticking to the Isak story last summer, but pretty much everyone knew we were just waiting for Newcastle to sign a replacement despite what the journalists were saying.

It's all just playing the probabilities, and sooner or later they have, will be, or are right now being found out.

16 May 2026 20:06:39
Sorry to say I told you so, but I did tell you all that Alonso was going to be Chelsea's next manager a while ago.

Not because I know anything, but it was always his likely choice. I suspect Slot is staying, or Ireola comes in - but this is circumspection on my part.

16 May 2026 20:09:31
MK your absolutely right. I miss the days of Ed2 may he RIP putting posters in their place especially if they pretended to know what's going on behind the scenes.
Macca was the one poster who knew what's going on but hasn't posted on the site for years.

Are we allowed to boo him when he turns up at Anfield with his Chelsea ream. πŸ˜‰

17 May 2026 00:47:43
@Chewy, Serious question. How do you know that Alonso was Edwards' first choice? I've seen a lot of rumours and heard a lot of speculation, but you sound like you might have some facts and proof?

Exclusive πŸ’£

Mike Gordon is the President of Fenway Sports Group, which owns Liverpool Football Club.

He has called an emergency πŸ†˜ meeting and we understand he will take the lead role over Arne Slot's future at
@LFC.

The situation has reached boiling point.

16 May 2026 17:10:57
Please get rid of Slot, before it's too late. I hope this is true, Racey. 🀞🀞🀞

16 May 2026 17:11:20
Check Mo's Instagram post - shots fired.

19


16 May 2026 17:20:47
So Slot has managed to lose the fans and now it seems the players.

Can anyone remember a manager who has managed to do that and survived?

18


16 May 2026 17:22:10
This is straight from Indy Kaila.....

16 May 2026 17:21:19
Boiling point was 6 months, ago but it's well known that Americans are completely incapable of making a decent cuppa.

16 May 2026 17:22:41
I've removed all my social media. Who has dropped the exclusive and what has Mo said?

4


16 May 2026 17:24:58
If this is true, I would think movement towards a new set up is likely. Gordon does not mess around and has a very good track record of doing the right thing at the right time.

11


16 May 2026 17:26:37
Well said, Mo. :)

13


16 May 2026 17:28:02
Hopefully the wheels have started rolling.

Salah has made a good habit of releasing statements at very specific times... I don't think this is any different.

8


16 May 2026 17:31:21
Just the managers that give the sporting Directors BJs after the match.

That might be a rumour, but is a rumour site after all.

4


16 May 2026 17:51:41
Mo' post along with Robbo says everything we need to know about the lack of standards and where we now and the poor tactics and style of play. Well said Mo and Robbo, it has to show those at the top how far we have dropped.

16 May 2026 17:55:46
@FSGenious, Shots fired, he hit Slot dead center between the eyes.

9


16 May 2026 17:59:03
FSG have remained patient as they wish to provide more managerial security than other clubs do, but turning believers into doubters and going from heavy metal to slothball is unacceptable.

7


16 May 2026 18:03:42
Please let this be the end of Slot. Well said, Mo.

6


16 May 2026 18:04:54
Well done Salah, he's rightly called what many fans are thinking.

10


16 May 2026 18:06:59
Why slag off FSG? They have completely turned this club around.

7


16 May 2026 17:29:27
I love Salah and wish he would stay another year more so to cover ekitike but can't see that happening. Regardless of what some fans say I genuinely believe he cares about the club and is shocked by the tactics and lack of standards displayed by slot and his backroom team.

We are at best a shadow of our finest teams.
Ed's do you believe his latest statement will put pressure on the club to force a change? I don't know anyone who thinks he should stay next season!

4


16 May 2026 18:24:44
Slot will get back at him by not playing him in the final game of the season. He knows this and still took the shot. Thank you, Salah. You, sir, are a legend.

12


16 May 2026 19:16:27
FSG have turned this club around, but are now in a situation where they could be undoing all their good work and taking us back to where we started.

I do not want them to go, but they need to take positive action, and soon.

4


16 May 2026 19:25:14
I'm questioning why Salah has had to come out and say this at this exact time. Is it because he can see that the owners aren't getting rid of Slot without a greater push? Does he feel he needs to help?
If not, why not keep your trap shut and just tell the fans how much you'll miss them and the club?

2


16 May 2026 20:27:32
I think Aminos is trying to be helpful by reenforcing what a lot of fans think. The bottom line is the style of football is not the Liverpool way, and the results have been dreadful. But it's performance before results that will lose Slot his job.

1


16 May 2026 21:45:10
I am sick of this notion that FSG can't be criticised. They bought the club at a steal of a price and now it's worth billions. There were other people who could have bought it, so save it, my a**e. They're rightly being criticised.
