“I feel complete support”: Arne Slot insists Liverpool owners FSG still back him
Arne Slot insists Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group are still giving him their “complete support” despite ongoing calls for the head coach to be sacked.
The pressure on Slot’s job has intensified over the past week after big defeats to Man City and Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and Champions League.
But despite Liverpool facing the risk of missing out on all of their objectives for his second season in charge, the message is that the Dutchman’s position is still safe.
Slot was questioned on whether he still feels the backing of FSG as well as figureheads Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards during his pre-Fulham press conference.

“I’m repeating myself a lot, but I’ve said it many times: I feel a lot of support,” he told reporters at the AXA Training Centre.
“But not only from the owners, Richard and Michael, but I feel a lot of support from them as well.
“As weird as it might sound, I also feel the support of the fans.
“In Paris, when the players went out for the warmup, the fans – after a 4-0 loss – immediately started singing ‘we love you Liverpool’.
“After we were, I think it’s fair to say, outplayed over 90 minutes we went to the away end and they were still singing for us and clapping for us.
“So that’s the support I’ve felt, we’ve felt, constantly.
“I think, and I’ve said this many times as well, the club knows in which period of time we are in.
“In the meantime I feel complete support, yes.”
Arne Slot’s future: Mixed reports on Liverpool’s decision
There are conflicting reports around Slot’s future this week, with the Telegraph‘s Sam Wallace sharing the stance that FSG want to back him for next season and BILD‘s Axel Hesse reiterating their interest in Xabi Alonso.
Hesse’s report is particularly interesting given his credible ties to Alonso from during his time in charge of Bayer Leverkusen, while it has been claimed that the Spaniard’s agent, Inaki Ibanez, was present for Wednesday’s loss to PSG.
But as it stands the communication from more local sources, including those on Merseyside, remains that Slot’s job is safe as Liverpool vie for a top-five finish in the Premier League.
It has however been suggested that FSG’s support could be tested if the Reds fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League, which remains a possibility at this stage.

Arne Slot responds to Liverpool sack calls with ‘weird’ claim about Reds fans
Arne Slot in a Liverpool press conference.
Arne Slot has responded to calls for him to be sacked on the back of Liverpool’s humbling defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday with a “weird” claim about Reds fans.
The 2-0 defeat to PSG, in which Slot opted to play five at the back and was roundly criticised for his negative tactics, was the Reds’ 17th defeat in all competitions this season; the most of any defending Premier League champion in history.
They’re currently 21 points behind league-leaders Arsenal, facing a battle to qualify for the Champions League with the worst run-in of any of the challengers to finish in the top five.
Despite the struggles under Slot a report on Friday has revealed five reasons why FSG want to keep the Dutchman in charge for next season.
And the Reds boss explained that he still feels backed by the hierarchy and the “weird” support of the fans in his press conference ahead of their clash with Fulham on Saturday.
Slot said: “I’m repeating myself a lot but I feel a lot of support. Not only from the owners but from Richard [Hughes] and Michael [Edwards], a lot of support from them as well but as weird as it might sound I also feel the support from the fans.
“We were going out in Paris when the players went out for the warm-up and after the 4-0 loss [against Manchester City] the fans immediately started singing ‘we love Liverpool’.
“I think it’s fair to say we were outplayed for 90 minutes and they were still singing and clapping for us. I’ve said many times, the club knows the period of time we’re in and in the mean time I feel complete support.”
MAILBOX: Liverpool can save their season – but only if they sack Slot now
On the positives he and his side can take from the defeat to PSG, he added: “If there’s anything positive from the Paris St-Germain game is that we faced the champions of Europe and we experienced on that evening that we were not on the level we should have been.
“But the good thing is that we have four or five days to show that we can be much more competitive. It also tells us that we want to keep improving and playing at that level next season. I think if you experience that two days ago, you want to be involved next season to show we can do even better. We get that chance in three days but we want to get that chance next season.

“Yesterday was a recovery day so we need to see where a few of our players are. I’ve said that a few of our players are not capable of playing another intense game three days later so, let’s see what the line-up brings.”
Liverpool fans will not display flags and banners on The Kop for the remaining games of the 2025-26 season in protest against ticket price rises.
The club recently announced ticket-price hikes linked to inflation, external for each of the next three seasons.
Slot hopes that the Anfield atmosphere will remain a big positive for Liverpool despite the protests.
He said: “Not only when we go through tough times but I think Anfield has shown in history and since I’m here how important these fans are for us, especially when we play a home game.

“A recent example for us was Galatasaray where we had a tough game away from home where their fans were really loud but Anfield showed what being loud really is.
“I can come up with so many examples I’ve been part of but also in the history of this club. That’s what makes Anfield so special but playing in front of home fans for any club is.
“I’ve always felt support in good and bad times. I hope even in protest [over ticket prices] that they can be as helpful as they have always been for us.”

Liverpool Transfer News & Rumours Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Report
flurry of reports on Liverpool FC’s potential transfer activity this summer hit the rumour mill today, so let’s go through them. They mostly centre around wingers.
Axel Hesse of BILD reports that the Reds are holding off on making firm offers for wingers at the moment, partly because there is an expectation that there will be a change in the head coach position this summer, with Xabi Alonso as the favourite.
That said, he also reports that Liverpool are looking at Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig, with the German side hoping to score a fee of €100m.
Following reports emanating from Germany of interest in Hoffenheim’s 20-year-old Bazoumana Touré, Hesse reports that he is high on LFC’s shortlist, with a move to England likely, with an expected fee of €40m.
Writing in his Daily Mail column about Liverpool’s search for Mo Salah’s successor, LFC-connected journalist Lewis Steele chimed in on the Touré links, saying that Liverpool have been watching him, but he is perhaps not the leading target right now.
Steele lists Brighton’s 21-year-old winger, Yankuba Minteh, as another potential option, but adds that Brighton paid £33M and would realistically want to double that fee in a sale.
Reporting on a story about Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG potentially pursuing Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, The Telegraph’s Jason Burt mentions Liverpool’s long-standing interest in the player, but they are understood to be prioritising other players. The fee expected to be demanded by Aston Villa is in excess of £80M, and the price might rise to an initial £90M if a bidding war develops.
Ben Jacobs also adds that Liverpool retain an interest in Morgan Rogers, with the club potentially targeting two wingers this summer following Mohamed Salah’s departure and the void left by Luis Diaz, and that although a right-sided attacker is the priority, a move for Rogers cannot be ruled out.
Phew, now that the rumours are out of the way, let’s rank them.
Diomande still looks the most likely. Plays both flanks at a high level. Leipzig have no leverage because he’s holding out on a new contract, we have good relations, and I expect that fee to plummet.
For Minteh, Liverpool has had interest in the player in the past, but with just 2 goals and 4 assists in all competitions this season, I don’t think £66M is a price Liverpool will be willing to pay, despite what he brings in versatility, defensive work rate and pressing. Brighton are also notoriously tough customers to negotiate with, and they always seem to maximise their transfer fees, so unless there’s a clause, I wouldn’t count on this happening.
Touré, with 2 goals and 11 assists to his name this season while plying his trade in the Bundesliga, probably also has to boost his goal numbers, but at €40m, it’s a lot easier to stomach. He’s also more of a left-winger, which may explain why he’s considered less of a priority, but getting him on board as a depth option would be a really smart value play, I think.
As for Morgan Rogers, it feels like there’s been interest from Liverpool since last summer, but… is he really a winger? He can play on the flanks, but he’s really an attacking midfielder. And at a price of at least £80M, I would like Liverpool to add actual speed rather than another player who needs the ball at his feet.
