Slot can mean lock in Dutch
It would be hilarious if Ten Hag someone stayed in a job and we'd get to compare bald Dutch managers and argue whose more poundland than the other.
It's obviously because you English peasants aren't cool enough to play the real football god king Van Gaal en prince Erik envisioned for you to play.
Slot is an excellent coach. I get that, coming from the Eredivisie, there will be a decent amount of skepticism if Liverpool appoint him, but he has done absolutely fantastic with both AZ and Feyenoord. He plays some very agressive, direct, high energy, high pressing football as well, so he could do well with Klopps legacy
If they want someone who will continue the Jurgen Klopp tradition of blaming the refs and VAR whenever they drop points then Gary O'Neil is the perfect choice
Sky are saying they’d have to pay £9m compensation to Feyenoord..
Because most of the managers are from Ajax and they have had a very specific hierarchy and style which does not translate easily.
After so many dutch managers failing lately outside the Eiredivse, I would say the chances of eventually this guy becomes good are becoming higher. They can't suck forever
Even if this is true, which it's very easy to be skeptical about, then he going to need to have the big personality to go with it.
Or your in a farmers league?
You'll need to throw out your Man City memorabilia. Scousers and City fans are not bed fellows, like, say other fans.
No, it must be the peasants thing. Van Gaal invented football you know.
Well what I said about Slot is factually true (about his achievements with AZ and Feyenoord, his style of play). Nobody who knows his work, can or will deny that part. What is up for debate is whether he can reproduce it in the Prem. Ten Hag came with a similar resumé after all
Ten Hag v2
2 Bald 2 Furious
What in the 90s?
ETH played a great way with Ajax. Hasn’t brought it here though. Doing it at one team and then bringing it to the prem is a lot different
Something something he'll slot right in
Filth
No, Van Gaal's omnipresence is rumoured to have been around since the early 13th century BC when he invented the pyramids.
I'm not sure how much more sarcasm I can add
That and working on a very limited budget.
I actually think that Slots playing style is even more recognisable. Injuries or not, he always has Feyenoord playing with an extremely high intensity, high pressing football. I think Ten Hags playing style was a little more pragmatic and dependent on the players available. For instance, his last half year at Ajax was very grim,we just about dragged ourselves to the championship and the level of play was very low. I didn't see Slot going through such a prolonged drag. Having said that, Ten Hag achieved great succes at Ajax, something that Slot can only dream about. 4 championships, SF in the CL, multiple CL knockout rounds. Ajax has a lot more funds available mind.
Think the players love Slot. He seems to have a great way connecting with his team, and distilling the confidence in his players to play the way he likes. I think he has more social acumen than Ten Hag, who is more rigid. Whether he can make that connection with world star players at Liverpool, instead of nobodies/ up and comers at Feyenoord, remains to be seen.
Having said all this, I would absolutely love it if Ten Hag come back to Ajax next year. His discpline, tactics and his demanding nature is exactly what we need right now
If we managed to find this Ten Hag, why would we send him back to you?
Prefer they hire Gary Neville.
Them Dutch fans are back coating up shit with chocolate, Liverpool fans believe them at your own peril.
We have been led this path before and trust me you are being catfished. Once in a while you come across some quality in the Dutch league but it is mostly shite on stick over there, it is a low quality league
Seriously? We're you saying this at the time? It seems we dropped the ball big time and the warning signs should have been there. Posters on here were going on like they were playing incredibly well.
I somewhat did. Here are some things I said about TH in his last years at Ajax:
Also, on Arne Slot, 3 years ago:
Never heard of Arne Slot until yesterday but have been doing a bit reading about him today.
One thing that really stands out is how much Feyenoord fans love him, he's got a Klopp-like status there. Seems to have transformed them, while also playing good football. Won things, reached a European final as well. Also had AZ in 2nd place during abandoned Covid season.
Also seems clear he's very likeable and engaging, good with the media and keeps his players happy. Also a lot of talk of overperforming in the transfer market and getting the most out of players, bringing through youth.
Could be a Dutch Klopp?

Or another Dutch EtH.
Should be pretty clear by now that success in the Dutch league doesn’t necessarily translate well to the PL.
Imagine someone waking up from a long months coma and suddenly read this news. The person will probably think he woke up in a parallel world.
Afonso Alves always comes to mind. There may be a few gems in the Dutch league (De Jong for example), but the step up to the premier league just seems too much.
Won the Dutch league in the season Ajax well and truly shit the bed. And he's bald. He's crap.
Gary O'Neil seems a interesting choice.
Would have him over Arnie Slot, personally.

That's this season. Last season Ajax only mildly shit the bed.
Seriously. I'm worried. It's like getting a hyped up Ryan Babel but at a much more damaging level, i.e. management.
Slot seems like a risky hire, nothing he's done would excite me if we were looking at hiring him right now.
If Liverpool find success with a bald Eredivisie manager, I will lose my shit.
He would suit that lot I'll give you that.
Only the European cup final with a Dutch team, and winning a trophy in successive seasons in his first stint at a big domestic club, while playing attractive football.
Yeah he sucks.
