FSG chief jets in to offer Arne Slot verdict | OneFootball

Tom Werner watches as Liverpool lose at Anfield

However the season has been derailed in spectacular fashion over the past couple of months.

Injuries have cost the Reds the services of key players - while the likes of Wirtz and Isak are still waiting for their Liverpool careers to gain any kind of momentum.

The Anfield side have lost SIX of their last seven top-flight games - also losing matches in the Champions League and EFL Cup too.

Right now they are languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table - with practically no chance of retaining their title this season.

And now according to a report from James Pearce in the Athletic, FSG have offered a pretty unflattering verdict on how Slot is coping this term.

The organisation’s chair - Tom Werner - was in attendance for the weekend defeat to Forest.

It is a rare event when John Henry’s deputy jets in and there is no doubt that FSG will be unhappy considering the amount of money that was spent on a previously winning team.

Werner believed spending would see LFC kick on

“This was not what the club’s owners at Fenway Sports Group expected when sanctioning the biggest spending spree in Liverpool’s history this past summer,” the report reads.

“Chairman Tom Werner, who was at the match on Saturday, believed that £450million ($589m at current exchange rates) investment would provide both the quality and the hunger required for the team to kick on and secure more glory in future seasons.

“But the toxic current mix of established stars losing their way and new arrivals struggling to adapt has sent the club spiralling into a crisis.

“The same issues are reappearing week after week, with belief taking a battering. Slot has so far been unable to find the answers to the stack of problems facing him.”

That presents an alarming picture for Slot. If things don’t turn around soon then FSG’s sporting director Richard Hughes may be forced to take action.

Arne Slot has been served notice that things can’t continue like this.
