But the club do not seem ready to tear everything up just yet.Speaking about the situation on the Walk On podcast, James Pearce explained why Liverpool still have faith in the manager.He said: “I can completely understand where they’re coming from when I speak to people about why he’s likely to stay.

Whether supporters have the patience for that is another matter.But for now, Liverpool seem to believe the manager who won them the league is still in there.
