After Liverpool’s fourth straight Premier League defeat, reports suggest Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are losing confidence in Arne Slot’s leadership — and could turn to a very familiar face to rescue their season.
Liverpool’s rough start under Slot has taken a troubling twist. Following another setback — a 3–1 loss to Brentford — insiders reveal that FSG are beginning to question whether the Dutchman is the right man for the job.
Sources close to Anfield claim that the board now believes former manager Jürgen Klopp might be “open to a stunning return” if the current slump continues.
A worrying run of form
The defeat to Brentford marked Liverpool’s fourth consecutive Premier League loss — something rarely seen at Anfield in recent years. Once known for their intensity and cohesion, the Reds now look uncertain and disjointed.
Slot’s side has shown glimpses of promise in attack but remains plagued by defensive lapses, inconsistent midfield performances, and a lack of energy. Critics argue that the team’s pressing is disorganized and the confidence that defined Klopp’s Liverpool has all but disappeared.
An Anfield insider described the atmosphere as “uneasy,” saying that “the owners are concerned that belief in the project is fading quicker than expected.”
FSG’s patience wearing thin
Though FSG are known for staying calm under pressure, reports indicate that their faith in Slot has dropped sharply. Senior figures at the club have allegedly held talks to assess whether the current trajectory can be reversed — or if drastic measures are needed.
While no official statement has been made, contingency plans are reportedly being discussed privately as FSG evaluates their next move.
In a stunning twist, rumors suggest Jürgen Klopp could be open to returning to Liverpool. The German coach, who left the club earlier this year after nearly a decade of success, remains deeply connected to both the fans and the city.
Though Klopp had cited fatigue as his reason for stepping down, sources close to him claim he still follows Liverpool closely — and might consider returning under the right circumstances.
> “Liverpool is more than just a job to Klopp — it’s home,” one insider said. “If the call came, it would be hard for him to turn down.”
Fans divided but emotional
Supporters are split on what should happen next. Some insist Slot deserves time to implement his ideas, while others argue that the team’s decline has become too alarming to ignore.
After the Brentford loss, the hashtag #BringBackKlopp trended online, with many fans demanding the German’s return. One wrote, “We’ve lost our fire. Klopp brought belief. Bring him back.”
Others urged patience, reminding fellow fans that Klopp also endured tough spells early on. “Slot’s walking into massive shoes — he deserves more time,” one supporter said.
The road ahead
With key fixtures against Newcastle and Aston Villa looming, Slot’s future could be decided within weeks. FSG are reportedly prepared to act before the January transfer window if results don’t improve — possibly to allow a replacement time to stabilize the squad.
> “Liverpool can’t afford another year out of the Champions League,” said a source close to FSG. “The pressure is huge. If things don’t change soon, big decisions will have to be made.”
The prospect of Klopp returning feels almost surreal, yet football is full of surprises. What once seemed like the end of an era could, under mounting pressure, become the start of an unexpected second chapter.
For now, Arne Slot remains Liverpool’s manager — but unless a turnaround happens fast, Anfield may soon face one of its most defining managerial decisions in years.
