Liverpool have struggled to retain consistent form this season under Arne Slot with speculation growing around his potential Anfield exitArne Slot remains fully supported by Liverpool's hierarchy despite a disappointing first season in charge at Anfield. The Dutchman secured the Premier League title upon the first time of asking last campaign but has struggled to retain the same form this year.Despite spending £446million in the summer, the Reds sit in fifth place in the Premier League table and have yet to get close to the heights they hit last season.
FSG are of the opinion that with more signings in the summer, the 47-year-old can get back to achieving success, similarly to how his predecessor Jurgen Klopp did in the 2023/24 season.Despite calls for Slot's sacking, FSG are not planning to make a big decision and "start again" next season. The report adds Liverpool's hierarchy don't believe that the Dutchman is "effectively on trial" until the end of the campaign and have not placed any specific targets in order to remain at Anfield.Club legend Steven Gerrard is of the same opinion and believes Slot requires more times to solve the problems within the team.
Speaking on the Overlap, when asked if Slot is still safe in his position, the 45-year-old said: "He has with me because I know more than anyone on the planet how difficult it is to win a league, and for him to come in and win a league, in his first season, he's got a lot more credit with me."Jamie will tell you, Liverpool will demand, they expect to win it every year. I think someone who has won a league deserves at least a full season to try and get out of the problems and issues that they've got, I'm certainly one of them."But, I have to understand what the fans are saying as well, because it has been dire on certain games and performances."An FA Cup quarter-final win over Manchester City can win back plenty of support among the fanbase this weekend.
