Liverpool have reportedly taken the decision to sack Arne Slot after consultations with \u2018senior players\u2019, and our colleagues over on TEAMtalk have provided the latest from sources close to the situation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a miserable campaign for Liverpool<\/a>, and throughout, Slot <\/a>has looked powerless and incapable of affecting positive change.<\/p>\n

Up until recently, however, the overwhelming expectation was Liverpool and owners FSG would stick by their man and give the Dutchman another season.<\/p>\n

But with fans, journalists and seemingly players too<\/a> all turning all the boss, TEAMtalk\u2019s insider, Graeme Bailey, broke news earlier this week of Liverpool\u2019s hierarchy performing a U-turn.<\/p>\n

Bailey revealed Liverpool\u2019s decision-makers had begun to have serious doubts and were now giving strong consideration to sacking Slot.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael Edwards and Richard Hughes have some serious thinking and talking to do,\u201d Bailey explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation with Slot is escalating at a pace, and I can tell you not everyone internally is aligned behind the idea that he should definitely stay.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiverpool are not a club that reacts emotionally or impulsively, but the ownership absolutely recognise this is becoming a very concerning situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m told Salah\u2019s comments hit home in a massive way. Internally, there\u2019s actually a lot of sympathy towards what he said, and people at the club understand why he voiced those frustrations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, a stunning update from X account, ChrisRoyceWords<\/a>, claims to have exclusive knowledge of Liverpool taking the decision to sack Arne Slot.<\/p>\n

Liverpool decide to sack Arne Slot \u2013 shock report<\/p>\n

\u201cEXCLUSIVE: The Liverpool board have decided NOT to continue with Arne Slot as manager for the 26\/27 season,\u201d claimed the account on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving previously opted to give Slot more time to turn things around, the decision to sack Slot was made over the weekend following conversations with senior players.\u201d<\/p>\n

HAVE YOU SEEN: Liverpool should sack Arne Slot and here are a full 20 reasons why<\/a><\/p>\n

The account has over 20,000 followers and specialises in covering Liverpool. The post has gone viral, though as yet, the claims have not yet been backed up by prominent journalists or trusted publications in the media.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the account provided a follow-up to their \u2018exclusive\u2019, adding: \u201cSlot is set to take change of Liverpool\u2019s final game of the season on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Liverpool board are looking to replace Slot with a Head Coach rather than a manager, hence the lack of interest in Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo decision on Slot\u2019s replacement has yet been made.\u201d<\/p>\n

TEAMtalk\u2019s insider Bailey was tasked with getting to the bottom of these extraordinary claims soon after they were made.<\/p>\n

As yet, sources have not been able to verify a definitive decision to sack Slot has been made.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Bailey was able to confirm there are what sources are describing as \u2018serious talks\u2019 taking place behind the scenes right now as the club decides whether to stick or twist on the beleaguered Dutchman.<\/p>\n
