Slot done on that evidence. Hero to zero in a matter of months.
Typical Dutch, play slowly from the back and let everyone get behind the ball to stop them.
Took over from klopp's fast attacking side and won with know he's signed players with no pace and list two in alexander Arnold and Diaz who had pace.
Just shows how quickly football can change.

Edd do you think slot can survive after tonight?
Does he get to say who he wants to sign or is he just the coach?
{Ed001's Note - no, I think he was done before tonight. He is just head coach, Edwards came back on proviso no head coach would have final say on signings again.}

If i was a Liverpool supporter I'd be furious with Salah for PSVs second, ran in and let the left back run a will, poor poor poor.
Can we play them every week? ???.

Just interested in how Liverpool run things
So do you blame Edwards?
It seems like theirs a few on here that certainly blame Edu for our gall from grace
I still blame the coach personally.
{Ed001's Note - no, this is all on Slot, they bought him players for the style of play he came with and he decided to change it completely. His mess.}

Thanks edd what's your view on forest and edu?
{Ed001's Note - I didn't think Edu had all that much involvement, he is working for the group rather than Forest isn't he?}
26 Nov 2025 23:14:19
He is Ed but the masses need a scapegoat and they have chosen Edu. Well i say masses, just some wollys on here. ?.
26 Nov 2025 23:22:07
That's what I've been trying to say edd
He's not in charge of recruitment at all
It's about marinakis employing him as a global developer of all marinakis clubs?
I guess some want to find a scapegoat.
27 Nov 2025 06:46:28
Liverpool should keep Slot. Give him a new contract. ??.

How I think it works with Edu:
He has influence and advises Marinakis clubs on transfer policy and other development issues like recruiting coaches and investment in training and facilities. So advises on age of players to target, what leagues they are likely to find them, he probably has lists and data on the type of player each clubs recruitment team is targeting as leads. I'm guessing he also works with clubs finance teams to work out budgets.
The clubs then work with their own lists and also follow leads from Edu, contact players and stuff, which Marinakis and Edu's extensive contacts with clubs and agents help with. The clubs teams then find out who is available and pick who they want.
Marinakis and Edu meet with the clubs team once they want to sign a player or sell one and clear it.
Sometimes if Marinakis or Edu know a player's agent or club well, they take a bigger part in negotiations, especially if it's a marquee signing.
Marinakis and Edu won't have time (Marinakis runs other clubs and businesses too and Edu works for several clubs) to micromanage and decide every player scouted, approached and picked, they are overseers, like you get in most businesses.
SO Marinakis and Edu have a part in it all, but aren't solely to blame for every signing or coaching appointment.
Ultimately, a club or any company's performance is down to the man at the top. And Marinakis has got us from bottom of the championship to in a position to qualify for the Champions League.

Good post Cyclist ??.
27 Nov 2025 11:24:21
Edu has, Mr m has last say on sign fact. he also has a very big role in managers bought in and the style of football we play. he bought amge in and wanted attacking football how did that work out ??.
27 Nov 2025 11:26:46
Edu has a lot of say in transfers as he does managers we bring in and your right cyclist at the end of the day maranakis as bought us this far. but that was without edus help. fact.
27 Nov 2025 11:19:24
Dtp ed said he doesn't think. edu has last say on every signing like Mr m does. fact. also I remember you asking ed wether he thought nuno was going to be a good coach for us when he joined I remember it well and that was a no.
so eds are not always right like everyone. And I don't take advice about forest from Liverpool fans.

Jay, you are in support of the manager Edu and Syrianos have appointed. Whereas the manager Marinakis appointed was too far the other way from the low-block thing on the evidence of what we saw. Maybe Adu is a good thing in terms of helping Marinakis run things.
I think the jury is still out on Edu. If he has a 4-year plan or something, no way can we know whether it's working yet.
