Jurgen Klopp retains the unequivocal backing of Fenway Sports Group and Liverpool’s owners are adamant he will lead the club out of this dreadful dip.
The future of Liverpool’s manager has become a topic of debate in recent weeks, as his team have slithered out of the title race. Their form has been so bad, with a club record six consecutive league defeats at Anfield, there is a huge question on whether they will qualify for the Champions League.
FSG have historically seen Champions League qualification as the minimum requirement for a manager during the 10 years they have been in control; a failure to finish in the top four cost Kenny Dalglish his job in 2012 while Brendan Rodgers never recovered from missing out in 2015.
