He may have won the Premier League in his first season, but he looks a little lost for words and ideas at the start of this campaign, with eight losses in his last 11 games a very worrying statistic.Of course, he has a lot of credit in the bank, but if he were to lose his job, then Liverpool would have to give him a huge sum of money.Photo by Darren Staples / AFP via Getty ImagesArne Slot will get a big payout if he gets sackedLiverpool fans seem a little divided about whether he should stay or go, but the general consensus is that he will be given a little bit more time at the very least.It is certainly a big period for the Dutchman as it is something he has not experienced before, but it is also a time when he can show he is worth the money.If he cannot turn it around, though, and he is sacked, then he will get a very large payout, with the Dutchman said to be on around £6.6m a year according to De Telegraaf.This means that as he still has a contract until 2027 having originally signed a three-year deal, then they would have to pay him at least £10m to let him go.This does not include any bonuses either, suggesting that it could be a fair bit north of this figure, highlighting just how costly this could prove to be.READ MORE: Liverpool fans have already seen what could happen if Jurgen Klopp replaces Arne Slot mid-season Should Liverpool sack Arne Slot?
