Liverpool supporters hoping for Arne Slot to be sacked should prepare for disappointment this summer.The Dutch coach has been in the firing line since the autumn having led Liverpool on a shockingly poor Premier League title defence.However, Slot has survived some abysmal results with the Reds, and though fan unhappiness is growing stronger, the 47-year-old has strongly suggested that he will not be leaving Anfield ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup clash with Manchester City.

So let’s first find out and work out how that works together and that can give us so much more.“It is never one player who can replace Mo, otherwise there would be 15 or 20 Mo’s and he is one of a kind, which is why he is so special. I know why you ask this question.”Slot is going nowhere for nowWhile it will likely disappoint many Liverpool supporters, it seems fairly certain that they will have to forget the idea of Slot being sacked for the time being.The Liverpool owners are clearly determined to give him more time to turn things around, and that is likely to include the beginning of next season.
