Paul Merson names one Premier League boss Liverpool wouldn’t go near if Arne Slot is sacked
Paul Merson names one Premier League boss Liverpool wouldn’t go near if Arne Slot is sacked Paul Merson has named one current Premier League coach who wouldn’t ‘even get an interview’ at Liverpool if Arne Slot were to be removed from his position at Anfield. The scrutiny on the Dutchman has intensified even further after the Reds’ insipid defeat to Brighton on Saturday, with former Everton CEO Keith Wyness the latest to declare that the 47-year-old wouldn’t survive failure to qualify for the Champions League.

ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY The LFC head coach isn’t the only one of his top five-chasing peers who’s enduring a tough time at present – his Chelsea counterpart Liam Rosenior has even had former teammates castigating him publicly after a run of four straight defeats by an aggregate scoreline of 12-2. Merson: Rosenior wouldn’t even ‘get an interview’ at Liverpool In his column for Sky Sports on Monday morning, Merson claimed that the Stamford Bridge boss – who left Strasbourg in January to replace Enzo Maresca in west London – wouldn’t even register in FSG’s thinking if a managerial vacancy were to arise at Liverpool. The pundit wrote: ‘It’s been a bad month for Liam Rosenior at Chelsea.
That’s four games on the trot where they’ve been smacked. They can’t win one game. ‘There are ways of losing football matches and that was a horrible, horrible watch at Everton [3-0 defeat].
It didn’t look to me that the players were really on the same page as the manager. ‘If Arne Slot got the sack at Liverpool this week, or if Eddie Howe left Newcastle, would Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior have got one of those two jobs? I’ll go one further: would he even get an interview?
It’s madness. ’ Want more Empire of the Kop coverage? Add us as a preferred source on Google to your favourites list for news you can trust Who might Liverpool hire next if they dismiss Slot?
