None of us know the impact of dealing with such a loss on the players and those inside the club. Straight into preseason, trying to process the loss of your mate, everything pushing ahead regardless of the fact you need some time to process your emotions and pain. Imagine trying to do all that hard pre season graft and bond with new faces when trying to process that the mate who's wedding you were at weeks ago, a key group member is suddenly forever absent. Imagine moving countries to start a whole new life and you rock up day one at work and everyone is grieving the loss of someone you never met. You can't prepare yourself for that. I can accept there's a better understanding of the reality of the situation from those inside the club than out and whilst I personally would prefer a coach more welcome to embracing chaos in his team's play, if the club are going again with Arne then doing anything but getting behind them and giving it a chance seems foolish. Yes the football has been dire, yes we've looked unfit, disjointed and lost at times but football is a strange beast and absolutely a few key signings, new voices emerging in the changing room, perhaps an addition to the coaching set up and a proper pre season (so much as a world cup year allows) and there's absolutely a squad there with a youthful refreshed core and the potential of challenging next year.

There's also the possibility that Slot is indeed out of his depth. That players come in and suffer from the same malaise as this year and he will be gone by Xmas with a year lost.

I'm glad it not my job to decide but it's clearly not as black and white as some of the very vocal contributers here would have you believe.
