Arnie Slot is more like Brian Cowen, if Brian Cowen had been a short term success rather than an instant calamity.
I’ve a lot of sympathy for Arnie Slot here. God is always a hard act to follow. Wilfried Nancy is likely to discover that very soon, and Martin O’Neill was only in charge for five weeks. not nine years.
I’m not sure how many people expected Arnie to win the league in his first year, but he did. Regardless of Klopp having built the team, that’s an outstanding achievement.
Managing the end for an all time club legend who is no longer doing it is always a very tricky business.
When Arnie Slot gets sacked at some point over the next two months and hands over to Martin O’Neill while Jurgen Klopp decides whether he wants to go again or leave it to the soon to be sacked Xabi Alonso, he will leave with my thanks and best wishes.
He’s already been more of a success than I expected.
There won’t be any more success, but that was still more than I expected.
