Is it time to give on a slot a new contract?

Or needs to have that conversation?

Yeah, funny enough, we had a chance to speak to Slot

before the Palace game, so last game of last season.

I'm going to have to be carefully because some of it was off the record,

which is private and just between the people who were there and stuff

and some of it was on the record and the conversation of a contract did come up I can't remember

what segments of the chat that was in so I've got to be careful but he said what you might expect

slot to say about any contract question even if it was off the record.

So he didn't say anything that he wouldn't have said it if the question was about

most salad at the time or Virgil Van Dyck or, you know, someone asking about Ibu Canarsay tomorrow.

He will always say the same thing, won't he?

But you look at the performance that he's had since he come in as head coach, you know, June 2024, it's been exceptional, absolutely exceptional.

And he's, you know, thrust himself into the conversation of some of your best coaches, hasn't he, on the back of what he's done at Liverpool?

Only signed Keizier, which wasn't necessarily his signing, that came late, a cup price deal. So he essentially won the league with the same squad to Yen Klopp left and width, and he has always professed that that is down to the strength of the squad and the health of the club that Yen Klop left are in. But it takes a special coach to be able to do that.

You know, you look at the improvements in players.

Mo Saladin is Moe, but he had one of his best ever seasons on the slot, didn't he?

Ryan Graham Merck right now was probably one of the best, certainly top three, four,

five midfielders in Europe.

Alexis McAllister has come on leaps and bounce.

And just all across the squad, most of the players have improved on his watch.

So he's been brilliant.
