FSG chiefs have stuck their head above the parapet in reasserting their faith in Arne Slot, with the Liverpool head coach seemingly set to stay in charge over the summer transfer window and into the new campaign.
This is actually in keeping with FSG's style, though. They only make a decision when they are certain, and they backed Brendan Rodgers to turn things around in 2015 after a wretched 2014/15 season. He lasted 11 games in all competitions the following year before Jurgen Klopp's historic appointment.
Rodgers came within a whisker of winning the Premier League title during that Luis Suarez-charged campaign, and it's true that there are certain similarities between the respective coaches, albeit with Slot completing the race to the title and leading a higher calibre of players, all in all.
It wasn't just the Suarez show that year, though. Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge helped form an iconic strike-force, and Liverpool could certainly do with the same level of synergy and sharpness in the final third now.
Liverpool in talks to sign their next Ngumoha
Liverpool will lose Mohamed Salah this summer, the Egyptian King calling time on his illustrious Anfield career.
How to replace such a one-of-a-kind legend? It's surely an impossible task. Still, Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have got to do it, and they appear to have settled on RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande as the perfect replacement.
RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande
Diomande is only 20 years old, yet he is already valued at a whopping £87m and is right at the top of Liverpool's shortlist. When you're good enough, you're old enough, something that Rio Ngumoha can provide evidence of, the teenage winger arguably the brightest spark of a dark and disappointing year for the Reds.
However, Liverpool could soon sign a rival for their 17-year-old maverick in Mateus Mane, who could leave Wolves after their relegation from the Premier League.
That's according to Sports Boom, who reveal that Mane is on Liverpool's shortlist ahead of the transfer window, with a meeting set to take place between the youngster's family and Anfield representatives.
Wolves' Mateus Mane
Liverpool might not be firing on all cylinders this season, but they do have a track record of developing exceptional youth talent, and Ngumoha's own pathway over the past couple of years might incentivise Mane as he considers the next step to take.
That said, it will take a pretty penny with previous reports suggesting Wolves could demand around £50m this summer.
Why Mane could be Liverpool's new Ngumoha
Mane has been immense over the past several months for Wolves, and while he's only at the start of a potentially brilliant Premier League career, he has enough quality to draw comparisons with his namesake, who excelled in the Premier League under Klopp's wing.
Emergent at Molineux, the 18-year-old, who can play centrally or out wide, has enjoyed a productive breakout campaign, posting two goals and two assists in the Premier League while demonstrating a physical quality that so many teenagers don't possess.
It is all well and good to be a talented teenage technician, but to withstand the pressure imposed by experienced defenders, craggy-faced and menacing, is another thing.
For Mane, though, it's not a problem, completing a dribble and winning four duels on average each game.

You could say the same thing about Ngumoha, who has excelled out on the left wing, levels above the ageing Salah and ineffective Cody Gakpo.
This is not just a fleet-footed youngster, but a potential sensation. Mane is too. After all, he has been hailed as a future "superstar" by pundit Paul Merson.
Ngumoha might have stood out in a struggling team over the past few months, but Mane has done so for a doomed Wolves side who have endured a wretched campaign in regard to their playmaking.

At Liverpool, he could shine, climb up to higher ground. With the respective prospects typically operating in different areas, we might just be looking at the Merseysiders' future.
