I'd love it if there was a plan and a proper replacement but I kinda doubt it. Slot was 2nd choice so who else is there?

I know you are on the wind up.
But we tried the old steady hand with Hodgson and it was worse than ****
Gerrard had the Villa team in relegation zone then Unai Emery turned up and they got CL same season
Gerrard only needs half a season to get you relegated
you pissed Luvvy?
We got Slot doing all that right now.Gerrard had the Villa team in relegation zone then Unai Emery turned up and they got CL same season

You are correct that my suggestions were very much tongue-in-cheek but I do honestly think Gerrard would be a stupid appointment. There's not that many good options around at the moment I could suggest who are available to just jump straight in but there's got to be better than him.
All set up for brother Mo to get his move to the Saudi league anyway
These are the wheels getting into motion for that

and you think Gerrard is the man to save this sinking ship once Slot goes

No but sometimes you need a short term reaction and then go from there.
I don’t want Gerrard anywhere near this club in any form of coaching position. He is that bad
I think the wheels have been in motion for that since he signed the contract, especially from the clubs side. No way we sanction such big wages for a 30+ player unless we budget it for just a year.
Heard plenty of rumours about Klopp and Gerrard until the end of the season, then Nagelsmann after the WC, when he'll swap jobs with Klopp. But that's just wishful thinking. One thing is for sure, though, atm, even with a two-goal lead, you just never feel we have full control of any game.
But, 3 new centre-backs apart, I just don't get that these players aren't good enough - they just have no energy or stamina in them, and everyone knows it. Their psyche is shot. Though this goes back to the Spring, not just this season. The fact that the players went on a month's bender after winning the title and were **** for the last four games masks another inconvenient truth - we were, the Newcastle at home and City away games apart, turgid, slow, dross from about March onwards. This isn't mainly about the new players (though only one of them has cut the mustard so far), it's about the established players, Szobbo and Gravy excluded, who just haven't put a shift in for Slot for 9 months.
Anything but an impossible win on Tuesday, and Slot doesn't get to see Christmas. It probably means we won't be panacea buying in January either, as any replacement won't be here until the summer, and we won't be blowing another £200m net on a caretaker manager. Ah, well - it was worth it all the get no 20. But it means we'll be struggling to even make the Europy League next season. Good job we bought all those players when we were on a high, I suppose.

Remote possibility he'd come next summer, but not unless he was insanely sacked by Real whilst Real are still in the CL and pretty certain to make the last 16.
I actually agree with this and thought thisThe big question needs answering
Are Adidas cursed for us?
First season back with Adidas and it falls to ****....
Those 3 stripes, too much white on the kit
Klopp will simply not happen. Not least because he and Edwards could not work together previously. There are many other reasons. Gerrard….just no.
Alonso will depend on the Madrid trophy haul at the end of the season. So nothing sooner.
Several international coaches could become free after the World Cup but nearly none of interest available now….unless Tuchel could be persuaded to do a dual role but I doubt the FA would sanction it. Or unless one of the other available coaches would see the opportunity and jump ship before the WC, though I doubt it just as much as I really doubt that Edwards would allow a big name with more power at the club.
In short, while Slot has completely lost the plot, our options to replace him right now are very limited indeed.
FSG have some very difficult decisions to make. I hope they make the right ones!
