Overview
- Football Insider, as cited by Yahoo Sports, reports the board will place a serious question mark over Arne Slot’s future if Liverpool fail to qualify for the Champions League.
- A new claim from Spanish outlet Fichajes, reported by Football365, says Slot must win either the Champions League or the FA Cup to keep his job, with Xabi Alonso viewed as a preferred successor.
- Slot said in a press conference that he does not decide his own future and suggested Liverpool consider progress and circumstances as well as results.
- Anfield Index discussion referencing Kieran Maguire estimated missing the Champions League could cost up to £200m, with Yahoo noting Liverpool have earned about £83.8m from this season’s participation and that Europa League income is far lower.
- Football365 notes Liverpool beat Sunderland 1-0 to move within three points of fourth, while Anfield Index pundits highlighted a poor run described as six wins in 20.
