@Corballyred If you include the Jacquet deal. The total net spend under Slot was still under 200 million.
That’s 5 transfer windows.
There is lots of money available to spend.
300 million plus needed this summer.
Bad News Pearce’s tweet is not the same as saying:
“Arne Slot is definitely staying.”
What he actually says is:
“Liverpool’s position on Arne Slot remains unchanged.”
That is deliberately non-committal unless he also tells you what the position is.
If Liverpool’s position was already:
“Slot is backed for now, no current plans to sack him, but results are being monitored”
…then “unchanged” simply means that still applies. It does not close the door.
The key words are:
“position remains unchanged”
Not:
“Slot will remain Liverpool manager.”
Not:
“Liverpool have ruled out sacking Slot.”
Not:
“Slot is safe.”
People are overreacting if they’re reading it as a firm declaration of safety.
My honest read: Pearce is doing a rumour-control tweet, not a definitive job-security statement. He’s dampening the social media panic without giving a hard guarantee.
It’s classic safe wording:
“Nothing has changed” = true today, flexible tomorrow.
Pearce has not said Slot is staying.
He has said Liverpool’s current position has not changed.
And unless he defines that position clearly, the door remains open.

John,
He’s been injured for 4 1/2 months December to Mid-April.
His first 2/3 months he was struggling with fitness due to no pre season and injury carried from back
end of last season. Plus the service to our attackers the first part of the season was horrendous.
He has 4 goals in 8/9 starts. Not to bad.
You’ll see the real Isak next season with hopefully good quality wide men coming in.
Unless slot ball is still awful.
@JoshLFC1909 Look at these options it’s bad when you think about it. We need 3 versatile forwards with pace.
Isak
Rio
Gakpo
Ekitike (basically out for the season)
