"I don't think I am deciding that alone by myself, but I have every reason to believe I am the Liverpool manager next season," the Dutchman vowed."First of all, I am contracted to this club and second of all from all the talks we are having. But if you don't have the best season, especially if you compare with last season – if you compare it with other seasons you might have a different debate – but if you compare it with last season, this has definitely not been a great season, then it is also normal that criticism comes."We have all had our share, and with 'all' I mean the players have had their share, the manager has had their share and other people in the club have had their share.

That is how things work nowadays if you don't win the league."Slot added: "I think the world has gone to if a manager or a club doesn't have their best season there is always a debate about that, it is not only Liverpool it is all around the world.Liverpool continue to stick by under-fire manager Arne Slot (Image: Getty)"That is the new reality in football.
