Just put that through google's "JohnnyH bullshit translator" and it came out as 

 

"I'm genuinely excited about Arne Slot. I know nothing about him but I know he's not Xabi Alonso and that's what I like"

‘Now available on Google translate!’

[cloggypop]

He might bring Santiago Giminez. He's boss for Feyenoord yet shite for Mexico. 

[Tenfolder]

Our very own Dutch baldy, welcome.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Looks like we are playing the amortisation game like everybody else he's been offered a 9 year deal.

 

 

Well he could of been.

The thing I like about going for someone who plays very similar football to Klopp is that we'll know fairly quickly if he's shit or not.

 

Someone coming in and wanting to change loads immediately has the safety net of "he needs time to implement his methods" whereas this fella, if he's any good, should really be able to hit the ground running relatively quickly as the players are familiar with what he wants to do and it's just minor tweaks.

 

I don't like the sound of that at all. The Mancs have had one major and continued problem these last 10 years and it's their supporters being impatient, spoilt brats.

Every manager needs time, especially those operating on a tight budget as no doubt ours will be.

[El Rojo]

Should go full stereotype in his signing on press conference, get him out in red clogs holding a bunch of tulips and eating a lump of Gouda.

[El Rojo]

Perfectly willing to give him until mid-October before I make a final judgement.

Where's the fucking bike? 

[diamondjoe]

Fuck it. He'll do rightly. 

Gotta give him props for or standing up and saying "I'll take the job if none of you other fannies have the balls to grab it"

Yeah, imagine if the players start without the required intensity, give away cheap goals and then struggle to finish chances. It'll be plain as day...

I’m genuinely excited about Arne Slot. I know nothing about him, and that’s what I like. Maybe the next big thing, instead of some flavour of the week or a short term well known appointment. He’ll have a few years to try and succeed, and that’s good. We’re almost certainly going into a few ‘quiet’ years, so let’s give it a try. 
 

I’m pleased 

Kind of where I’m at.
 

Once Alonso said no (and even he’d have been a risk) there seemed to just be a shortlist of managers I did know of and didn’t want and then Amorim who I also didn’t want. 
 

At least with Slot I know fuck all about him whereas I’d have been livid if it was Thomas Frank for example. 

[05 Milan]

Arne's Red Slot Machines!

[VladimirIlyich]

This slot fella is a massive gamble but maybe the penny has finally dropped for FSG?

 

Neg away suckers!

[El Rojo]

If he’s any sense he’ll grow a beard and slap on a pair of glasses and a baseball cap.

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

The issue with many of the Dutch is they sound like really shit Sean Connery impersonators. I think he's one of those guys.. itshhh nissshhhhe to be here"

 

Christ just got to be on board with whoever it is no matter how apocalyptically underwhelming it is.

Yeah I'd feel a bit more comfortable around a hairy Slot than a baldy one.

You are in for a treat when the outro to the pod gets updated then. 

[Tarwater]

My problem is mentally picturing him as a Liverpool manager. I can’t lie, it will be hard to get around that jovial to dim look, and of course the baldness. If he turns out to be actually any good, I’m sure I will get past it, but as soon as results take a dip, I will choose to be as superficial as a super model.

I said when the Mancs appointed Heisenberg that I would be wary of Dutch managers as they are very rooted to a specific way of playing and don't deviate from it. This is why Ten Hag has done most of his transfer business in the Eredivisie because he wants players who can immediately fit into his system and style of play, and he's even made a pigs ear of that. Hopefully the fella we're targeting is the exception to the rule. 

 

We all dream of a team of Gravenberchs.

[Fugitive]

I know nothing about the fella but I did once stay in a little village just out side Amsterdam called Sloterdijk.

 

They know what they doing, the filthy minded bastards.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Every time someone shouts you Baldy cunt at one of the refs he's going to take a bit of emotional damage as an innocent bystander.... until he's no longer innocent!

I stayed there also- Great little place and alas I have nothing else to add on this subject.

Just saying…

 

 

[sir roger]

Looks like Brad Friedel's elder brother.

 

I assume his aligning with FSG principles means he won't be asking for too many players and will let Edwardes pretend to be the manager. 

[bizzle10]

I for one welcome our new bald Dutch overlord let’s hope he Slots right in
