Liverpool Bosses Break Silence on Arne Slot's Future Amid Explosive Mohamed Salah Bombshell

Liverpool's ownership group continues to back manager Arne Slot fully despite sharp public criticism from star player Mohamed Salah, according to sources.

Following his third straight match starting from the substitutes' bench, Salah shocked observers by claiming he was being "thrown under the bus" and suggesting "somebody doesn't want him here," while also revealing his deteriorated relationship with Slot.

As expected, Salah's statements have triggered widespread speculation regarding his Anfield future, while questions have also emerged about Slot's position as manager amid growing doubts about his capacity to lead the team forward.

However, despite mounting pressure on Slot, The Athletic reports that Liverpool's ownership, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), maintains firm backing for Slot, whose position at Anfield won't be affected by Salah's public comments

Furthermore, FSG considers dismissing their manager due to a player's public criticism of team selection decisions as "unthinkable," even when such criticism comes from a player of Salah's caliber.

Liverpool Ownership Backs Slot Position

Although senior figures at Anfield weren't shocked to see Salah address the media following three consecutive games without a starting role, the Egyptian's harsh and accusatory tone caught everyone off guard.

Salah's suggestion that someone at Liverpool might be attempting to push him toward an exit has left officials baffled. The consensus is that Slot is simply selecting what he believes is the strongest XI to help Liverpool emerge from their current poor form, and Salah's exclusion represents purely tactical considerations rather than any coordinated effort to end his Anfield career.

FSG feels empathy for Slot, believing the Dutch manager didn't warrant being targeted by Salah's harsh words. Throughout Salah's period on the bench, Slot has actually defended the 33-year-old, even praising his professional attitude despite the selection decisions.

Salah's assertion about his fractured relationship with Slot receives confirmation from BBC Sport. Their reporting indicates Salah was expressing his genuine sentiments about the manager, with sources describing the relationship as "truly damaged."

While it's uncertain whether FSG will eventually choose sides in this dispute, it's evident that Liverpool's ownership hasn't lost faith in Slot—at least not yet.
