Given this philosophy, he would likely urge Liverpool to remain patient with Arne Slot, despite the Dutchman's recent struggles at Anfield.Wednesday's frustrating 1-1 draw against Sunderland at home has seen the Reds claim just four victories from their previous 14 fixtures. Following this swift departure, Ferguson advocated strongly for clubs to demonstrate faith in their managers, even during difficult periods.Speaking in 2015, Ferguson stated: "There's no evidence that sacking a manager gives you success.

But there is evidence at Manchester United, at Nottingham Forest, at Arsenal that [if] you retain the manager for long periods, you get consistency and you get success."Arsene Wenger, Ferguson's former adversary who led Arsenal for nearly 22 years, ushered the Gunners into the modern era. The Frenchman's tenure saw him lift three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups, but arguably his most significant contribution was embedding a unique culture and style at the club that only longevity can foster.Ferguson also made reference to Nottingham Forest and Brian Clough's impressive 18-year reign.

Slot is the seventh manager to take the reins at Liverpool this century, compared to six at United since Ferguson's departure just 12 years ago.Moreover, Slot's remarkable achievements in his inaugural season, including being in contention for a quadruple, should buy him some time.
