FSG can easily recoup the cost of sacking Arne Slot with the right replacement 💰 “Let’s say the cost is £15m… That is the amount that you get in prize money for finishing roughly five places higher in the Premier League.

Even if you finish one or two places higher than you would have done otherwise but make it into the Champions League as a result, that’s about £80m in extra revenue virtually guaranteed.”Finance expert Adam Williams speaking to RTK about the cost of sacking Arne SlotPhoto by HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Getty Images 👇 Join the debate; share your insight.

“For sure, my bond with Liverpool is there and it’s still there. So there’s no, any kind of issue with that.”Obviously, his situation at Madrid is now very different so if the Liverpool job were to become available, he could be much more inclined to join.
