The Case For And Against Sacking Arne Slot, Liverpool’s Manager in the Dock

Liverpool stand at a crossroads, and both choices carry real risks.

Step into my courtroom. No gowns, no gavel, but the tension feels familiar. Liverpool sit in the bottom half after a bruising run, a patched together side searching for certainty, and a manager who looks like a man trapped between responsibility and the weight of a dressing room still carrying grief, confusion and tactical drift.

The jury is you, the reader. My job is to lay out the evidence with clarity. Many supporters have already cast their vote, some calling for immediate change, others urging patience while holding their breath. I sit somewhere between those poles, not convinced by calls to sack Arne Slot today, but equally troubled by what I am seeing on the pitch. There is time for him to turn this around, but the margin for error is shrinking. Liverpool have too many good players, and this league is too weak, for anything less than a Champions League place to be acceptable.

Below is the case for and the case against. By the end, you might find your verdict, or you might step back into the real world carrying the same uncertainty that hangs over Anfield.
