This season has been a gruelling one for Liverpool fans, but it’s not all doom and gloom. Latest on Andoni Iraola amid links to Chelsea, Liverpool and Crystal Palace Speaking to Give Me Sport, trusted reporter Ben Jacobs reports that there is little truth to rumours that Iraola will manage Crystal Palace should he leave Bournemouth upon the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.

And Chelsea are expected to be a genuine suitor.” The latest on Chelsea's search for a new manager ??@JacobsBen pic.twitter.com/H9aGpyaWUf — GiveMeSport (@GiveMeSport) May 7, 2026 Liverpool expected to keep faith with Arne Slot for better or worse While there is enough reason to sack Slot based on his performance on the pitch and his seeming inability to explain the issues his team has faced, it must be said that FSG’s willingness to keep faith with the Dutchman is admirable. Regular readers of Live4Liverpool will know that I have been one of Slot’s most outspoken critics, but there is potential for him to prove us all wrong next season.

He did win the Premier League in his first season in England after all. If Liverpool do indeed keep faith with Slot, he will need support from the fans even if belief in his abilities have faded over the course of this miserable season.
