Under Klopp, Liverpool changed from doubters to believers. Under Slot, Liverpool have changed from believers into doubters.

In the 2024-25 football season, Liverpool FC won the Premier League title with 4 games to spare and a (eventually) 10-point gap above second-placed Arsenal. Naturally, football fans, both Liverpool-affiliated and not, expected Liverpool to be in next year's title race, especially after splurging exorbitant amounts of money on attractive new signings e.g. like Alexander Isak for £125 million ($170 million), Florian Wirtz for £116 million ($156 million), and Milos Kerkez for £40 million ($54 million).

However, those expectations are currently miles off the reality. Liverpool are currently fourth in the Premier League table, and out of the title race since December. They were eliminated from the Carabao Cup in October by Crystal Palace, losing 0-3 at Anfield. Liverpool are out of the FA Cup (4-0 loss to Manchester City in the quarterfinals) and Champions League (4-0 loss against PSG in the quarterfinals). Liverpool will finish the season trophyless, after spending 450 million in the summer on new transfers. This would result in a major financial loss for Liverpool, with some sources estimating it could be as much as 120 million euros.

The spirit around the club is diminishing, too. Liverpool fans are tired. They watch games fearing defeat instead of anticipating wins. There is a resignment to fate with each goal that goes in, each embarrassment suffered, each bad decision made. Between perennially starting his "favorite" players, to dismissing members of his own squad in press conferences, to badmouthing the legendary Jurgen Klopp, Slot is adding fuel to the fire that threatens to sink Liverpool's ship. And, when, the ship is sinking, it's a good idea to throw out the arsonist.

With that said, I call for Liverpool to sack Arne Slot immediately. We are at the point of the football season where Liverpool cannot afford any more failures. Slot's arrogance, stubbornness, nonchalance, and willingness to publicly blame his own players are a sure recipe for more embarrassment between now and the end of the season. With a new, competent coach, Liverpool could adjust the team to play football that could get them far for years to come.

There are hundreds of millions of Liverpool fans in the world. Their disappointment is morphing into depression, their fury into numbness, and their hope into resigned despair. They are tired of Slot, and there is no hope for a situation where he stays next sason. Under Klopp, Liverpool changed from doubters to believers. Under Slot, Liverpool have changed from believers into doubters.

 So what to do? It is high time that Liverpool fans put Arne Slot, and the Liverpool ownership and board by extension, under the searing, fiery pressure they deserve. Take "Slot Out" banners to Liverpool home games. Send fan letters to the club demanding Slot's sacking. Comment under articles, post online, and write newspaper opinion pieces. Speak up if interviewed on live TV. And sign petitions like this one. Arne Slot has failed Liverpool F.C., and it is PAST TIME that he was fired for somebody better able to take the reins and steer Liverpool out of their woeful form and back to the glory days.

As Klopp said after his final game at Liverpool, "change is good".
