Outspoken pundit makes major claim about Arne Slot's future at Liverpool | OneFootball

Liverpool’s performances this season have been underwhelming and fans have begun to question the future of manager Arne Slot. Despite currently riding a solid three-game winning streak in the Premier League and 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.

Liverpool owners looking to sack Arne Slot?

According to ESPN pundit and former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley, the Liverpool hierarchy is quietly preparing to swing the axe.

While local reports out of Merseyside insist Slot’s job is safe for now, Burley claims it’s all just speculation in the media.

“I don’t think they’ll run with him next year, I don’t,” Burley told presenter Dan Thomas.

“I think there’s too many questions from up above about spending money again and letting him [spend it].”

Dutch manager has failed in all competitions this season

It’s a harsh assessment, but one that highlights the massive stakes at play.

Following the disastrous recruitment missteps of the previous summer window, Liverpool’s top brass knows they cannot afford another expensive mistake.

Injury issues have not helped Slot this season but the manager has failed to get his summer signings going after spending heavily on them.

The style of football is what the fans don’t want to see at Anfield. It is failing miserably to get results as well as contributing to changing the over all mood at the club.

Yes, Slot has managed to stabilize the team recently. Grinding out three consecutive league wins is no small feat in a tense, high-pressure top-four race. But for many supporters and critics alike, the general decline hasn’t truly been reversed.
