With Liverpool potentially on the verge of exiting the Champions League and, based on current form, unlikely to secure passage into next season’s tournament, it’s time to assess the major financial risks at hand. FSG are risking £120m over paying £10m The reported compensation fee Liverpool will have to pay Arne Slot and his coaching staff if they were released before the end of their contracts does not measure against the huge sums Champions League clubs receive for taking part in Europe’s elite knockout tournament.

His reported compensation fee for being fired (£16m) is not equal to the £120m Liverpool will forfeit if they don't qualify for next season's Champions League. In contrast, Liverpool stand to miss out on around £120m if they fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League, according to a BBC interview with football finance expert Kieran Maguire.

When stacked against Liverpool’s supposed compensation package for Slot, and the Dutchman’s failures this season, it’s an entirely unnecessary risk. Michael first started supporting Liverpool after Istanbul in 2006.
