Arne Slot has been heavily scrutinised this season in a way that only the manager of Liverpool can be, but the Dutchman has dropped a major clue that he will be not be replaced before the start of next season.
Xabi Alonso has been linked with replacing Slot in the role, but another major clue suggests that FSG have no intentions of replacing him.
The first major clue we saw this season was when Slot appeared on the Reds Roundtable on Liverpool’s official YouTube channel alongside CEO Billy Hogan and sporting director Richard Hughes.
Recently, there has also been a swathe of reports from reliable reporters affirming FSG’s faith in Slot.
Now, Slot himself has appeared to confirm he will not be leaving the club, as many of us believe should be the case.
When asked by a journalist if he’s heavily involved in planning for this summer transfer window, Slot replied: “Yes I am. And I know why you ask this question.”

Andy Hunter affirms FSG stance on Arne Slot’s future as Liverpool manager
Minutes after those Slot quotes were published after the 10 pm embargo on Friday evening, the Guardian journalist Andy Hunter reported: “There is no imminent threat to Slot’s position. Internally from Fenway Sports Group to Richard Hughes, there is recognition of the unprecedented challenges this season has presented.
“Injuries have prevented last summer’s ambitious transfer strategy from ever taking shape, several new recruits have struggled and established players have endured downturns to an extent few could have envisaged.
“Their resolve, however, will be severely tested should Liverpool’s decline be exposed by City and PSG and the team fail to secure Champions League qualification. Champions League revenue is vital for what is expected to be another busy summer in the transfer market. An entirely new right flank is just one requirement.”

Whether FSG are correct in keeping faith with Slot or not, it does seem as though the 47-year-old will remain as Liverpool manager.
In that case, it’s time we as supporters get back behind the Dutchman and hope he can turn things around.
That said, I don’t believe it has been an issue of a lack of support this season. I think I speak for the fanbase when I say that we just want to see more passion from the manager and more entertaining football from the players.
