I’m not one for knee-jerk sackings of managers. Klopp had a bad run in our last title defence season, some fans wanted him to go, FSG stuck by him and he got his shit together again. Generally I favour the more patient approach, any team can have a slump, even a funk. But it’s time. And the reason it’s time is because I don’t see a world in which Slot turns this around. I just don’t see us playing well again with him at the helm. The why and how it came to this is only relevant in selecting his replacement. It’s not fixable with him in charge.
But I don’t see FSG changing things unless and until they start to see empty seats in the stands throughout the game. That was what it took under Hodgson, and I think it’ll be the same this time too. Fans need to vote with their feet.
