The parallel’s between the imminent end of Mohamed Salah’s own Anfield folklore legend of a season is striking. An optimist would hope this omen promises another Klopp-messiah like figure could follow Slot, but if FSG mimic their faith in Rodgers now, it might be that Xabi Alonso, the main most feted as the likeliest saviour for Liverpool, will be unavailable if or when Slot is given his marching orders.



The avoidably cost mistake: £120m loss of revenue at stake is on FSG as much as it is on Arne Slot Liverpool could miss out on £120m worth of revenue in 2027 if they fail to finish fifth in the Premier League this season and fail to qualify for the Champions League next season. Now with Liverpool faced with selling to buy after a shocking season, their transfer budget will be slashed if they fail to finish fifth, with Slot discussing FSG’s buy-to-sell policy recently.

Especially because in the 16 years they are here, they have not won the league 16 times.” While Slot is primarily at fault for his team’s failures on the pitch this season, if Liverpool fail to achieve Champions League qualification it will be on FSG entirely. Then, if they do decide to replace Slot for whatever reason midway next season, it will be after ignoring their own history with Rodgers and Klopp.
