giving the world cup to the usa was a stupid decision.
this tournament was supposed to bring the world together. instead we’re talking about shootings, visa issues, travel restrictions and whether fans from certain countries will even be able to attend
I think this is the right move, and I also think it’s the right time to move on from the chant as well.
If we’re playing Wolves or another symbolic game, fine, but otherwise, it’s time to retire it. It doesn’t mean Jota’s forgotten, but it’s time to let him rest.
This sack is well deserved, but I need to address some Liverpool fans.
Football is not a sport where you fluke things, especially at the highest levels.
I see people saying Slot won the league with Klopp’s team. Do you know Klopp himself could have remained and not won the league? Football isn’t entirely 1+1. Another manager could come and meet that Klopp’s team and underperform.
Let’s stop doing this, it’s not nice. You try to take away every credit from Slot because he had a bad season. Football fans have amnesia.
I watched numerous Salah interviews when they were winning under Slot. There was one with Gary Neville where Salah was mentioning the difference between Klopp and Slot.
He talked about the details Slot puts into the game, he talks specifically about how Slot knows when to make changes/substitutions, how he reads the game differently and knows what to do at the right time.
Salah, in another interview, further talked about how Slot would sit him down and tell him places to improve and that helped him a lot. Slot also told him not to track back, several things he said about Slot, because everything was so rosy.
If I search the tweets from many of you also, I would find many of such good things said about the manager. This season, it didn’t work out. In fact, my mutuals know I predicted Liverpool not to finish top 2, and it wasn’t because of Slot. I felt like when too many players join a club, it takes time for them to get their rhythm. I could have been wrong, but I was right this time.
Every club goes through hard times. Real Madrid won the UCL two years and have become useless despite signing arguably the best player in the world, and assembling The Avengers.
Slot had a bad season, the sack is deseved because he was disastrous, but don’t try to discredit him from all angles, that’s not sportsmanship and that’s not a fair thing to do. Winning the premier league on your first season isn’t something common, stop it guys.
Wish him well as he goes. Hope the new manager does well too.
NDB Fraud (2) – EY has issued its audit opinion stating that the financial statements of the Bank and the Group give a true and fair view of the financial position as at 31 December 2025, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards.
Normally, the responsibility for the preparation of financial statements lies with management, to present a true and fair view of the Bank and the Group. Auditors are required to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This assurance is not a guarantee, but is achieved by reducing audit risk to an acceptably low level.
Generally, materiality is set with reference to the financial statements, such as 0.5–1% of turnover, 5–10% of reported profit, or 1–2% of gross assets. However, judgement is applied by the auditor in charge, depending on the nature of the business and the risks it faces.
The Bank has estimated the value of the fraud at approximately LKR 13.2 billion. This is around 13.4% of the Bank’s turnover and more than 100% of reported profits, although lower than typical thresholds based on gross assets. In my view, this is clearly material, and the financial statements do not present a true and fair view of the company. Therefore, management is fully responsible for this event.
Further, EY, as auditors, has failed to identify a material misstatement and has issued an opinion without reporting any such issue.
An EGM must be called immediately, and the Board of Directors should step down and be reappointed only with shareholder approval. Further, EY should resign from the audit engagement, and shareholders should appoint a new auditor without reappointing the same firm.
Ye & 80,000 fans singing "Heartless" at SoFi Stadium 🏟️
"That's what 80,000 people sound like ladies and gentlemen... they said I'd never be back in the states. Two sold-out concerts."
Emotionless watching Liverpool this season. Our style of play, if we actually have one, is on par with dark days under Hodgson and even Rodgers. We just have better players now. So so bad
