Time to retake the pulse for the FSG folks who observe fan sites to see where sentiment lies. That roundtable was ridiculous.
 
I'd swap him with Alonso ASAP, but I understand why it would be in the summer. I'd bet on Emery, Howe and Iraola all getting more from this squad, but I think Alonso is the standout we need. Not without risk, though.
 
There's often a new manager bounce when a caretaker comes in, which we desperately need to make the CL spots.

Sacking him now for a popular figure who the fans and players might rally behind for 3 months might actually be the prudent thing to do.
 
Roughly 83% of people currently saying he needs to go. 65% of that group say go NOW.

I like the idea of a new managerial bump for 3 months.

And most of us are loyal enough. Not reactive. If Arne has lost us, he's DEFFO lost the dressing room.

Edit, looks like Dreamy voted. 😉

I think fsg waited to long and now it's to late to make top 5..Chelsea 7 pts ahead now and utd could possibly be 8..that retarded round table has given him more time as otherwise they'd look stupid sacking even if we lose to Sunderland and probably forest...
 
It depends on results. It’s not binary. At the moment it’s stay for me but if for example we crash out of the CL and lose another three games in a row then he should be sacked. I don’t think either of those will happen btw.
 
It's beyond time. I don't like calling for managers to be sacked, they're human beings after all, but he'll be well protected financially, will get a break and another job in due course.
But it's overdue. I'd like him to be remembered for bringing us another title last season then losing his way, instead of which he'll be remembered for the turgid shit the team is serving up right now. And no-one wants to remember that.
A new manager might just salvage Champions League footy for next year and, more importantly. make me and others look forward to the game again, rather than dreading it.
 
I'd like to see him given the opportunity to get into the CL places and try to win a trophy.

Both of those things are still well on in my opinion, even though our performances and inconsistency suggest it won't be easy and perhaps even unlikely to do both.

Before the season, I said CL qualification and a cup win would be a successful season in my eyes, while our new signings bed into the team and league further.

He's a young manager dealing with this level of pressure for the first time. He could sink, or he could get to shore safely having learned a lot and gained experience of dealing with adversity under fire.

If he manages the latter, he will be better for it.

I don't buy the 'he's lost the dressing room' narrative.
 
If you could parachute in an elite manager now how would he deploy the available players in better fashion?

We probably need another 30 points for CL qualification.
 
Well Carrick did it, as did Rosenoir.

There's no guarantee that a new manager will rescue the season but we aren't en route to rescuing the season as it is, so it can't get much worse anyway*.


*unless we get De Zerbi or Ljinders as his replacement

I do wish him the best with Spurs next season.

In fact, I hope he joins and saves them from relegation this season.

I agree with the above, but the reversion to previous choices that haven’t been successful earlier in the season - doesn’t fill me with hope that Arne understands the problems in order to find the solutions to achieve the above.
 
I am astonished that two posters (Dreamie and another obviously) are already in a place where they think the worst performing manager in my lifetime (and I'm an old git) gets a free pass to a whole next season. THat's just off the wall nonsense. I get why sage heads like Tom and Mama are saying wait to the summer, I don't agree (even though I know that's now the plan), but I understand the position. However, a free pass to next season is .... I'm lost for words.

I had to check to see who the other voter was to check it wasn't a bot!

I'm confident that Arne understands the problems better than anyone on SCM.

I guess time will tell. But any old schmo can *identify* a problem, solving one is where the talent lies.

My derogatory comment is that Slot is not even identifying the problems, as his decisions and choices are not changing….which would indicate he believes his process and decision making is sound. Evidence points to the contrary.

This would also explain his complaints of low blocks, lack of change in approach and use of the wider squad.
 
I guess I just don't get the full coverage of everything Slot does and works on and how, so I can't judge with as much confidence as you chaps can.

This is correct.
