- Fenway Sports Group faces a decision on retaining head coach Arne Slot as Liverpool's form declines and fan discontent rises.
- Danny Murphy told BBC Sport the fan revolt makes Slot's departure a matter of "when" rather than "if".
- Brendan Rodgers' situation mirrors 2015, when FSG kept him despite poor results before sacking him and hiring Jurgen Klopp.
- Arne Slot entered the season with a £450 million transfer budget, yet Liverpool's recent 1‑1 draw with Chelsea was marked by a toxic atmosphere at Anfield.
- Xabi Alonso, a former Liverpool midfielder, is being touted by supporters as a potential replacement, given his managerial success with Bayer Leverkusen and a stint at Real Madrid.
Why it matters: FSG's choice on Slot will directly impact Liverpool's on‑field results and match‑day revenue, as a toxic Anfield atmosphere threatens to depress ticket sales and sponsor earnings.
