Liverpool’s performances this season have been underwhelming, with the Reds currently riding a solid three-game winning streak in the Premier League.
Despite looking highly likely to drag themselves back into the coveted Champions League spots, the overall vibe around Anfield still feels surprisingly flat.
Having won the Premier League title last season, they are set to end the season without a trophy.
For weeks, the prevailing narrative has been that manager Arne Slot will be given a lifeline, another season to right the ship and rebuild.
However, if the latest insights are to be believed, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) might have an entirely different plan up their sleeve.
Key moments
According to ESPN, pundits and former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley, the Liverpool owners are considering sacking Arne Slot.
Burley stated, “I think FSG are looking at this and thinking, ‘We need to make a change,” adding that Slot’s future at the club is “very much up in the air”.
This comes as a surprise to many, given Slot’s solid start to the season, which has seen the Reds win their last three matches in the Premier League.
Reaction
The news has sparked debate among Liverpool fans, with some calling for Slot to be given more time to turn the team’s fortunes around.
However, others believe that a change in management is needed to prevent the club from sliding further down the table.
The implications of this could be significant, with Liverpool currently sitting in fifth place in the Premier League table.
With only a few matches left to play, the Reds need to pick up as many points as possible to secure a top-four finish and qualify for the Champions League.
Up next
Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge next Sunday, kick-off 4:30pm BST.
