i think you're right to point out some double standards when people say Kompany will leave for better because Slot is doing the same.A couple of thoughts.
Something doesn't add up with the Nagelsmann reports. They're saying that he won't consider it without knowing who the DOF is so we have walked away as we don't have one yet.
But then they say that Slot is favourite but won't join until after the DOF. Why not just wait until the DOF is here then and see who he recommends?
Also I've seen lots of people say they don't want a Kompany because of the City links but Slot who seems to be the current darling of the forum has been sacked from one job for talking to other clubs and is now batting his eyelids at the premier League not even a week after winning the title and if you believe the reports I read in the week he wanted to go to Leeds earlier this season. Loyalty doesn't seem to be his thing.
I'm not saying I don't want Slot but for those that didn't want a Kompany or Alonso for that reason surely you're looking at Slot and wondering how quickly he would try and leave should he do ok and someone higher up the food chain came calling.
I guess the big factor is he isn't loyal to any club and may not have ambitions to coach United or City, for example yet.
You could also say Slot has a lot to prove before those clubs would even consider him.
Id also add that Poch was happy to ditch Southampton for us and was not rejecting those United stories so we may have to accept our place in the 'food chain'.
I think those are worries for another day.
