Looks like Johnny Heitinga is set to become the new Ajax manager.

Will be interesting to see if Pep returns for round 3.

How much of a problem is this?

 

[Bradley]

Who can we send there on loan?

Just looked, he only joined Slot for Liverpool, it's not like Rafa and that fella or Klopp and the brain guy. They haven't worked together until Liverpool, so hopefully he's easily replaced.

Daley’s our Halto purchase a little

 

[YNWA]

There is talk of this guy (cant remember his name) who is coaching in Ukraine & was part of Slots backroom staff at Feyenoord. Could be the most likely replacement.

 

[Brizzle]

We should approach Arsenal to take Arteta back to his sweet spot as an assistant manager, putting the cones out for Arne

 

[Hansern]

He was a good addition to our backroom staff, but I don't think it makes much difference in the long run. Slot will get in just as good or better replacement.

 

[rubans]

Yeah?, I think backroom staff is important but feels they are always one of the replaceable parts of the team and there is always an expectstion they would move onto no 2 postions elsewhere.

About as much of a problem to when Buvac and Pep first time round fucked off, i.e there isn't one.

 

[King Binny]

Hulshoff is definitely more important than Heitinga is, having been with Slot at Cambuur and Feyenoord.

Sipke Hulshoff is Liverpool’s clipboard-wielding ‘field coach’ – and vital for Slot

[bluebell]

Pep L aint coming back as he had too much input on transfers

 

[binomial]

What's Colin Pascoe up to these days?

Or better yet, Sean O'Driscoll.

 

[StevieM]

Time to let Milner sneak back in via his door no as a coach.

 

[Bradley]

Time to let Milner sneak back in via his door no as a coach.

He was out most of the season with an injury, read something that the surgery went wrong and he couldn't move his foot and was lucky to gain full mobility. Now looks like he's about to sign an extension with Brighton and play for another year. He's chasing Gareth Barry for most appearances. So he'll not be back for at least a year.

 

[Judge Jules]

Assistant managers and the like can be very important in a club's management structure and we've learned that the hard way more than once before. For example GH wasn't the same after Patrice Bergues left, ditto Rafa after he fell out with Pako Ayestaran.

That said, this guy doesn't seem to have been as high in the pecking order as those two were, so hopefully hakuna matata.

 

[Hansern]

Talk of Dirk Kuyt being his replacement

Talk of Dirk Kuyt being his replacement

Sounds promising.

But darling I've think you've posted in the wrong thread. Here you go

 

[Hansern]

I’m more upset he’s left than Trent leaving

 

[Buddha]

Dirk!!!

Former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt, 44, is among those being considered as Reds boss Arne Slot's new assistant at Anfield. (Liverpool Echo)

 

[Dreambeliever]

I’m guessing Everton hate him as much as we are pissed at Pep going to City?

 

[StevieM]

Is anyone really pissed about Pep going to City - I mean, wasn’t the site consensus that he was a chancer that talked a lot of shite that we weren’t unhappy to see the back of and were so delighted he failed at Salzburg we had a thread regularly updated for us to gloat over?

Shouldn’t that mean we’re happy he’s going to City?

It actually feels like Digshagger Pep misses Klopp that much he needed to get his former assistant to try and fill the hole Klopp left in his life.

For the record, I think he’s a good coach, but couldn’t give two flying fucks where he works.

 

[Judge Jules]

If that's the site consensus I don't share it, not 100% anyway. I also reckon Lijnders is a good coach (gkmacca late of this parish who had his finger on the pulse of the club rates him highly). His problems arose from wanting to be in the spotlight in his own right, for which he's not suited. If his move to Citeh shows that he's finally accepted that, he could do well for them, but like you I don't have a problem with him going there.

 

[MomoWASright]

I hope he uses his influence to ensure they keep signing Nunez standard players.
