Following his countryman's dismissal after just 11 months in the job, Ferguson urged football clubs to demonstrate patience with their appointments, even when the heat is turned up."There's no evidence that sacking a manager gives you success," said Ferguson in 2015. The Frenchman clinched three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups at Arsenal, but arguably his biggest contribution was embedding a culture and style that can only be cultivated with time.Ferguson also made reference to Nottingham Forest and Brian Clough's 18-year reign at the City Ground.

It was under Clough's stewardship that the club secured consecutive European Cups, achieving remarkable success particularly in the late 1970s.Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), demonstrated their astute judgement by appointing Slot as Jurgen Klopp's successor last season. Slot is Liverpool's seventh managerial appointment of the 21st century, whereas the Red Devils have had six since Ferguson left the club just 12 years ago.Moreover, the fact Slot achieved so much and was even in contention for a quadruple in his first season should buy him some time.
