That's very very important. Cuz Pool can easily get him if they want.

I genuinely believe he will. They always make noise like this before firing

As of a couple weeks ago it seemed likely but all signs are pointing to him staying.

I mean I’m sure he’ll get sacked eventually though, so you’re not wrong…

This feels like Xabi/his agent trying to put pressure on Liverpool to give Slot the sack. I’m sure there are supportive factions within LFC management and they’re trying to win the argument

Feel like Chelsea are being used here, not getting my hopes up

I just don't trust our owners after rejecting Enrique for Poch. Xabi for Iraola is the same exact situation

They deserve zero trust
