"Liverpool's not a sacking club, the former LFC defender said. Liverpool are different from almost every club in European football the manager is the king, the manager gets time. Liverpool have never sacked a manager who's won the league. Never in their history I couldn't believe at the weekend that people were talking about the manager's job, when I spoke to Liverpool supporters after losing at home to Nottingham Forest. I've always been in the camp that you stick with the manager,"
"I've had a lot of time to think about it because I knew the game was over long before the final whistle. I'm angry with the players if I'm being totally honest. But it does get to a stage with any manager at any club where I always use this word untenable, where it feels it can't go on any longer. I'm not quite there yet personally, in terms of the manager, but I know a lot of supporters will be."
Liverpool suffered a humiliating home Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven that intensified frustration over poor form. Anger has been directed at the players rather than manager Arne Slot, with many viewing the playing group as primarily responsible. Key figures Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are perceived to be past their peak at the highest level. Liverpool's tradition favors giving managers time and rarely sacking league-winning managers, which reduces likelihood of an immediate managerial dismissal. Some supporters consider the managerial position becoming untenable, while others still back continuity. There were calls for Mohamed Salah to address the fans.
