It's going to be a big summer at Liverpool, which sounds ridiculous considering what went on last summer."Murphy believes a change could still prove beneficial, despite Slot having won the Premier League title just 12 months ago and having faced numerous mitigating circumstances throughout the current campaign.The 49-year-old ruled Liverpool out as title candidates next term and added: "There's a minority [of fans] who think he should stay."I think from a footballing perspective, if you look at how bad Liverpool have been and how many games they've lost, there's a feeling that they're [the players] not hearing him."It's very hard to get that back once it's gone.
