Arnie Slot is the reigning manager of the year and rightly has plenty of credit in the bank with Liverpool’s match-going fans for last season’s unexpected and joyous title. Slot’s been under scrutiny this term because of Liverpool’s indifferent form but there's certainly no indication from the owners about any wavering of support for him. Good. Slot will not be judged by the club’s owners on an FA Cup run, which is accelerating after the win at Molineux and the exciting contribution of Rio Ngumoha and reminder of the enduring calibre of Andy Robertson and Mo Salah. Slot will be judged by owners on league finish. Top five. We live in an era where trophies are great, and every fan loves a trip to Wembley (for Liverpool fans that's Anfield South), but for many owners, juggling PSR and own ambitions, it’s simply about the ticket to ride the Champions League gravy train. Do the qualification. Do the maths. Liverpool have so far made £46.4m from Uefa’s CL pot from participation in the league phase, performance-related bonuses and progress to the knockouts. All before factoring in the substantial “value pillar” split of viewership-related broadcast revenue (and Liverpool are a big global draw) and also match-day revenue. Victory over Galatasaray in the round of 16 is worth a further £10.8m. Plus broadcast and match-day revenue. Clubs progressing in the knock-outs are looking at £100m+ from their involvement in the competition. Even winning the Europa League is worth only a third of that. PS-G made £125m from winning the CL last year. Also 12 European clubs ranked over four-year period in CL gain entry to the dreaded but lucrative Club World Club. The Champions League is a cash machine as well as home to sporting prestige. It’s why owners of elite Premier League clubs focus so heavily on their teams qualifying for it. That’s what Slot and others will be judged on by owners. #LFC #UCL

@ITVXhelp @ITVX Sorry, don’t fancy putting my details for all to see. It’s working now, just not acceptable to be so unreliable as it seems others have the same issue. Wouldn’t mind if I could just record live TV but @skytv pushing everyone onto sky stream means on demand apps should be better.

@ITVX @skytv ITVX app not playing any shows. Episode opens then crashes. Really poor start to using sky stream so far. Not happy about not being able to record live TV, the playlist concept is not a suitable alternative. Relying on “on demand” apps isn’t progress.

Good to see progress on the new @EnglandHockey Game Management System. Haven’t found a single page to bookmark from which you can access EHL, EH Championships and all regional leagues, though. Am I being dim?

@SWilliamsCoach I’d be happy with its straightness, I can’t cope with the number of cones though.

Lower than anticipated? Only an "organisation" as deluded as @EnglandHockey would anticipate anything else. This is a sad indictment of our sport. Change is needed urgently before hockey becomes irrelevant in the UK
England Hockey@EnglandHockey

Sales are lower than anticipated for these games, so taking the matches to The Stoop is not economically viable this year We're saddened at having to make this decision, but it protects our ability to maintain investment in other areas of the sport Info: eng.hockey/3srFSuF

@ManiKochar @Willowsacorns @self_pass @EnglandShockey @EnglandHockey I agree the date could be a big factor but otherwise, there is no reason why this event should not be supported. You see it as the UK hockey public not supporting top level hockey. But does that not tell us we need to give them something more meaningful and engaging to support?
