Jamie Carragher has delivered his verdict on whether Liverpool should sack Arne Slot after their alarming fall from grace this season, and while Reds fans want a rival Premier League boss to succeed him, a respected journalist has revealed a timeline on when the axe could fall.<\/p>\n
The Premier League champions spent \u00a3440m (\u20ac505m, $600m) on squad improvements to create what they hoped would be the start of a trophy dynasty at Anfield. But what has happened has been the opposite effect, with Slot<\/a> struggling to get a tune from his expensively assembled squad and seeing Liverpool plummet into the bottom half of the table.<\/p>\n With eight defeats in their last 11 games, what appeared to be a struggle to bed in those new players has now evolved into a full-blown crisis \u2013 leaving a wave of speculation over Slot\u2019s future in the Liverpool<\/a> hotseat.<\/p>\n On Monday, we revealed the unanimous verdicts of four pundits, who all agreed on the Dutchman\u2019s future<\/a>.<\/p>\n And while Carragher is adamant Slot should not be in any immediate threat of the sack, he admits the Dutchman does have the same \u201cunconditional love\u201d afforded to his predecessor Jurgen Klopp<\/a> during a similar run of poor form.<\/p>\n Asked by Sky Sports<\/a> if Liverpool could consider axing Slot, Carragher replied:\u00a0\u201cNo, not in mind at any time through this season.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I must say, some of the people I spoke to after the Forest game \u2013 fans, friends, family \u2013 and how they spoke about Slot shocked me a little bit.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is huge respect for what he did last season. To win the title in your first season is pretty special.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I have the feeling that he doesn\u2019t have the unconditional love and support that Jurgen Klopp always had.<\/p>\n \u201cKlopp had ropey times. At one stage, he lost six games in a row at Anfield.<\/p>\n \u201cBut at no stage did l feel that we were speaking about Jurgen Klopp\u2019s position in the way people have been speaking about Arne Slot\u2019s position over the weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, there should be no thought and no talk about this manager being out of a job this season.\u201d<\/p>\n As Carragher touches upon, a growing wave of Liverpool fans are starting to consider would-be options and in the wake of their sixth Premier League loss in the last seven games, supporters have been quick to pick out Oliver Glasner as a would-be successor\u2026<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS\u00a0\ud83d\udd34\u00a0Arne Slot incredibly told to axe \u00a3169m Liverpool superstars to end \u2018full-blown crisis\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Liverpool fans name Glasner as perfect Slot successor<\/p>\n Taking to social media, a growing wave of fans have explained why they see Crystal Palace boss Glasner as the perfect replacement for Slot \u2013 and believe a deal is there to be done with the Austrian\u2019s deal due to expire at the end of the current campaign.<\/p>\n Taking to X, fans explained their thinking around the 51-year-old.<\/p>\n \u201cGlasner should be one of the top names on our list. Get him in as soon as possible. Look at what a relegated Kompany is doing with good players, imagine Glasner, so FSG trigger whatever clause you have to, to get him asap,\u201d one fan explained.<\/p>\n Another added:\u00a0\u201cBring in Oliver Glasner. He\u2019s done superbly at Palace and knows how to set up his team to defend and attack equally well. Also, in the last 12 months of his contract.\u201d<\/p>\n A third added simply:\u00a0\u201cGet Glasner in #SlotOut.\u201d<\/p>\n A fourth wants Glasner to bring a couple of Palace\u2019s best players with him, adding:\u00a0\u201cBring in Glasner and tell him [to] bring Guehi and Wharton with him.\u201d<\/p>\n A fifth agreed, adding:\u00a0\u201cShould be going all out for Glasner, his contract runs out in the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n In light of all that, the Daily Mail\u2019s Liverpool correspondent, Lewis Steele, says that while Slot is not in any immediate danger of the sack, the situation could well change if he doesn\u2019t reverse their fortunes by Christmas.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Slot-out brigade is still a bit premature. He still has loads of credit based on last season,\u201d Steele explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n He then added: \u201cIf Liverpool keep playing like this until Christmas, questions will have to be asked.\u201d<\/p>\n Fabrizio Romano, James Pearce shares Arne Slot sack verdict<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano\u00a0has provided an emphatic update on the managerial situation at Liverpool and revealed what is really going on behind the scenes amid continued speculation that Slot could be sacked<\/a>.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, another trusted reporter,\u00a0James Pearce of The Athletic, has suggested the\u00a0match-going fanbase are beginning to sour on the Dutchman<\/a>. A separate report from an admittedly unreliable outlet claimed Slot has eight matches to save his job.<\/p>\n In light of all that, a former Champions League winner with the Reds has mooted the possibility of a title-winning coach abandoning one of the world\u2019s biggest clubs to take charge of the Reds<\/a> should the axe fall on Slot.<\/p>\n
