Romano putting out a rumour. Not sure how accurate he is, and also various rumours on newsnow that FSG have at no stage considered sacking Slot. In fact they have faith in Slot and look to his imput for how to move forward next season in a team revamp. Now I know this might be a rumour based around old news.
My opinion is there's no way Slot can survive; the fans have turned and I sense a few more damaging defeats and the players will publicly turn on him. His position is technically untenable. FSG potentially backing him seem a very naieve move.

If that was true, FSG cannot and will not fight the fans, as they know they would lose massively, just my opinion.
I get the feeling around 75% of LFC fan base want Slot gone. If you're the owner of a club, would you really go against the fans' wishes?

Bazz, only if your name is Mike Ashley.

I'm not a big fan of knee jerk sackings, so I was relatively happy with Slot staying even when we went on that long run of defeats before Xmas, but... the poor performances have gone on way too long now, and there is zero excuse for how unfit the players obviously are. His time is up now for me.

There'll be no hiding place on Wednesday when PSG inevitably beat us at Anfield next week.

The concerning thing is that we are losing games due to small, basic details. Team shape, throw ins, set pieces, tracking runners, communication.
These are all basics that should be drummed into players day in, day out.
When the fixture schedule is so busy, I get that you can't drive the players too hard in training because they need to recover and be ready to go again in 3 days, so the main things you coach are the not so physical aspects like team shape in and out of possession, set pieces, throw ins, communication.
We are obviously not doing any of this because the players look totally lost. There's literally no team shape or connections. We got ripped open 3 times against PSG from a throw in! We are too far apart out of possession, which is why, when we press high, they could just play around us.
It's almost as if they are not being coached at all and he's just shoving them on the pitch and telling them to work it out for themselves.

FSG may not have considered sacking Arne, that's Richard Hughes' job. If the director isn't trusted, then I guess it would get taken out of his hands, but they must have full confidence in him and Edwards. I agree with Bazzinga, though the fans just need to turn on the board and it's all over.

Exactly, Overkill. FSG did not hire Slot. Hughes did, and why would these journos mention FSG specifically, and not the guys who are actually tasked with evaluating Slot as their direct employee?
We know FSG do not handle the day to day operations of the club (Billy Hogan does that) nor do they decide who to sign as players/manager (that's Hughes' job).
Suddenly they have a say on who should be kept as manager/player? Okay, bro.
I propose people just ignore all this crap (and Romano spreads crap anyway) and just wait for the season to end. Then, we will all be here to see what happens. Anything else from any journo is white noise, at this point.
