Job security - arne

Just bumped into my ITK who got everything right last year for a quick lunchtime pint, and he said the main board met up with VVD, Gakpo and Szob yesterday at a hotel in Cheshire. No slot, no notes of what happened, but it sound promising if you hate the fucking cunt as much as I do.
why would they ask gakpo of all people?
 
If we were to believe this account, Slot should be clearing out his desk today. Last week they said that he had to win against West Ham and Sunderland to keep his job.

They have no sources at the club and know nothing.
I think them announcing possible signings before the likes of Ornstein and Romano gave their claims credence. They might be talking bollocks for all I know but @Woland 's comment from his source more or less said the same as IndyKaila. His task was to win 2 games, he won only one, lets see if there is an emergency meeting, if there is, he is gone!
 
New manager interviews:

Candidate - It's a real privilege to be here, I'm very excited to have this opportunity.
Edwards / Hughes - It's great to have you here, thanks for your time.
Candidate - So how much will I have to spend in January to sort out this shit-show?
E/H - Errmm, can we get back to you on that?
Candidate - Because I'll need some defensive signings at the very least...
E/H - We might be able to bring Harvey back from Villa....

If they can't find someone who backs their judgment then we're struggling.
 
True, but will they? Going back to employing a manager, especially if they employ a hard nut like Luis Enrique or even Glasner, will transfer some of their authority back to the new manager's office. One of the reasons my criticism of Slot has been muted is that I've wondered all along whether either the individual signings or making so many of them all at one go would have been entirely his idea.
 
A hurdle that is easily cleared though.

It's not a job title or role that is set in stone and the people recruiting to it are the ones who can change it.
Exactly, and I suspect that the reason we got Slot, is because they club knew we needed an overhaul and they didn't want to put the trust in a new manager to do it, so they created the role to allow them to work that way, and by creating the role we cornered ourselves a bit over the type of candidate we could identify. The money is largely spent now and the experiment has failed, so change it to suit.

Yes, I have wondered that too, and it seems noone really knows.

My assumption is that he must have had more say on transfers than some assume. I don't think that there are many managers (or head coaches or whatever) who would accept the situation where players just come and go and they are expected to just get on with it. There are even fewer who would go along with that and continue to go along with that when things are going badly and they are getting all the blame.
