The Reds’ current ownership are not known for making reactionary decisions, but it’s become clear that many supporters want the Dutchman gone.

Under their current manager, Liverpool have matched an unwanted record not seen since 1953/54.
Slot was booed by fans on the back of the PSV loss, but despite unrest at Anfield, the manager may be sticking around for some time.
Journalist Dean Jones has commented on the 47-year-old potentially departing and revealed how he could be kept in a job even if results do not improve.

Speaking on the Ranks FC podcast, the host stated: “If they lose four of their next five, then he won’t be in charge by Christmas.”
However, Jones was quick to shut down that claim, replying: “I don’t know. I’m told he will. This is what’s weird.

“I am told that he will. Because they don’t want to be seen as, like, giving up on him and also, like, they’re grateful for what he did last season.”
For reference, Liverpool have a decent run of fixtures on the horizon, including a meeting with 17th-place West Ham United on Sunday.
They then take on Sunderland before another very winnable match against Leeds United on December 6.

If Liverpool do stick with Slot and results continue to be negative, they may end the season outside of the top four.
They are currently 12th in the Premier League and three points off fourth place after losing six in seven.
Liverpool will survive without Champions League football for a couple of seasons thanks to other revenue sources.
But the cost of not competing in Europe’s premier competition is great.
When Aston Villa failed to qualify for the Champions League last season, The Athletic suggested they missed out on £30m, potentially rising to £100m.
