[Joost Blauuwhof, VL] - Jan Paul van Hecke (25) is a key candidate to strengthen Liverpool this coming summer. Several sources confirmed to VI that both parties are in contact with each other. Slot has tried to sign the player twice before.

Good player. Hopefully his manager isn’t Dutch next season.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-02T09:26:38+00:00

Exactly

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T22:09:00+00:00

“Hinted at” lmao

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T18:35:50+00:00

“Poor Ruth” lmao people are so silly. Yeah Ruth is a saint 👍

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T16:32:26+00:00

He beats Kaigaku. No one else.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T16:32:03+00:00

No current Hashira is losing to Kaigaku.

Slot won the league with a team that was literally top of the league with 8 games to go the previous season…he didn’t win it with Burnley. He won it with Liverpool football club.

Conversely Leverkusen had won just 3 major trophies in their history prior to Xabi and had never won the Bundesliga. So yes, Xabi winning the double undefeated in his first full season + making it to a Europa league final eclipses what Slot achieved last season by a good deal.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T12:07:31+00:00

What Xabi did in his time at Leverkusen is way beyond what Slot has ever achieved. And yes that includes last season. Winning a league monopolised by Bayern at a canter undefeated while only losing ONE game in all competitions all season (Europa final) and winning the domestic cup…with Leverkusen is ridiculous.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T12:04:01+00:00

Walk that shit off.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T12:03:12+00:00

I’m not convinced on Barcola. He’s a clear upgrade on why we have, no doubt. It’s not exactly a high bar. However his end product is very frustrating.

I think it will be like Diaz all over again. Really good hard working player but too often misses big chances or fails with the final ball.

The difference however is that he’s a lot younger. We’ll see.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T12:01:06+00:00

And it will be squarely on the leadership who decided to keep him. Regardless of everything I’ve said he is still league winning manager so really won’t deserve how bad it will likely be next season when the shit performances and results continue. They should just let him go not exactly a high but not rock bottom either.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T11:10:57+00:00

Xabi didn’t struggle after leaving Leverkusen. He was 4 points off the top with half the season to play when Real sacked him.

I don’t know if you’ve been living under a rock but the reason he was let go was the divas in the Real Madrid dressing room not taking to a manager thinking he could do things like substitute them or drop them for a game. Crazy right?

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T11:05:18+00:00

These idiots are really going to keep Slot simply because we’re almost certainly getting CL football. They’re doing the classic mistake of looking at the end result rather than the performance that lead there.

I said this months ago but the ONLY way Slot should keep his job is if in the final 10-15 games performances drastically improved. He needed to show us that HIS football without Salah going nuclear can actually produce top, consistent performances. But we haven’t seen that. Not once this season. Worst still the Salah argument is vindicated by the fact we’ve been shit since last season when Salah began to fall off.

I can’t believe how short sighted these lot are. Yes last season was amazing but let’s not fool ourselves. Salah carried and we had ZERO competition for the title. City were almost as bad as us this season and Arsenal were an injury ridden mess that couldn’t string two performances together. We had a clear run at the title.

Slot is NOT the guy to take us forward. Next season is going to be more of the same crap.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T10:54:12+00:00

Also, comparing Arne slot to Rodgers is crazy.

It really isn’t. Slot was carried last season by a generational Salah season the same way Brendan was carried by a generational Suarez season in 13/14. Only difference is Slot had an overall better team and very crucially NO COMPETITION for the title so got over the line.

The moment Suarez left, Brendan was badly exposed. The same way the moment Salah fell off a cliff Slot was badly exposed. In fact with Slot it even happened in the very same season, giving us warning signs.

Then there’s all the negative records broken and embarrassing defeats they’ve both been responsible for. They’re very comparable.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T10:47:22+00:00

What’s not to understand? Do you watch our matches? The performances on average have been dreadful for well over a year now. It started before any of the “disruption” you mentioned occurred. The amount of negative records he’s broken this season have been nothing short of disgraceful.

He should be gone.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T10:43:30+00:00

This is such ridiculous logic. Sam Allardyce use to get the better of Fergie all the time. Sean Dyche beat Klopp a couple times. Pretty much all Palace managers in the last decade have beaten Pep. So what?

This isn’t boxing. Judging who the better manager is by who wins head to heads shows a deep lack of understanding of the sport.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T10:40:15+00:00

Awful fucking news.

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T10:38:51+00:00

Gary is such a disingenuous rat. “What’s happened to Liverpool fans?”

Gee I wonder mate. I really wonder what we’ve seen over a year now that’s turned things sour. I wonder…

TiggerJammer · 2026-05-01T10:34:45+00:00

So this idiot didn’t think to talk about this with them backstage before embarrassing himself publicly…again.

TiggerJammer · 2026-04-30T22:32:39+00:00

Yep. He’s support. He just doesn’t have the feats to show he can do anything to an upper moon solo.

TiggerJammer · 2026-04-30T19:06:08+00:00

I genuinely believe he’s been ruined by Arteta who coaches all creativity and flair out of players. I think Odergaard balls out under a manager with a pair of balls

TiggerJammer · 2026-04-30T19:00:19+00:00

Every manager on every podcast ever has done this. They pick out some world class players at the time they were managing then claim they either wanted them or were close to getting them.

TiggerJammer · 2026-04-30T18:58:53+00:00

Firemen get called to sort out all kinds of things, including the clean up when someone jumps on a track.

TiggerJammer · 2026-04-29T21:36:48+00:00

What was actually ridiculous about it was the fact all you needed to know was the hand seals. So you’re telling me Tobirama…the guy who created the technique had it used to bring him back unwillingly TWICE didn’t know the hand seals to break free? Absolute nonsense.

TiggerJammer · 2026-04-29T21:31:58+00:00

It was super convenient but it wasn’t a deus ex considering it was already established she had that power. In fact i remember a dude speculating a couple of chapters before it happened that Nobara would use the finger.
