Liverpool are planning to back Arne Slot despite ongoing calls for his sacking. A former coach believes Slot is being backed despite Mohamed Salah's rant.
The Egypt international took to social media to rant in the wake of their 4-2 defeat against Aston Villa as he slammed the Reds’ form and style of play under Slot.
While he is expected to retain the backing of the crowd at Anfield, the Liverpool board are believed to have been left disappointed by the 33-year-old’s public statement.that Salah’s words will have little impact on Slot’s future other than stirring up new issues for the boss.regardless of the growing calls for his head and despite what has proved to be a difficult season at Anfield.

Plans are being put in place to support the manager ahead of next season as they look to reverse what has been a disappointing year for the team at Anfield. While Salah has no doubt piled additional sack pressure onto the manager, he does not hold enough influence with the board to alter their position.
“Plenty of players in the Premier League will have issues with managers or styles of play, the minutes they’ve played or whatever it is, but they buy into the project. “And even if an individual player isn’t happy, they move on just like Salah is doing, but ultimately no player is bigger than the club and that’s certainly the case at Liverpool.
“Salah has had a miserable season on the pitch, he’s not looked anything like his normal self, and now he keeps coming out moaning about the manager. “The board have made their decision, it looks like they’re going to stick with the manager, so Salah coming out like this does nobody any favours.
“He’s on his way out anyway so he won’t have to deal with any of the fallout from it, the club will, and he’s now put them in a difficult situation. “But whatever he wants to say, it might carry some weight with the fans, but the board won’t be listening because their plans won’t be influenced by a disgruntled player ranting.
”This is not the first time Salah has spoken out against the manager this season in what appears to be a long-standing issue between the pair at Liverpool. Ahead of the January transfer window, the winger hit out at his lack of playing time, forcing the board to make a decision about who to back out of the pair.
Their stance is now expected to be the same after his latest outburst, especially given the Egypt international is set to depart at the end of the season. While his words carry a lot of weight amongst the fans, Liverpool will not be swayed from their stance and believe Salah is firmly in the wrong for speaking out.
