Arne Slot Claims Full Backing from Liverpool Hierarchy and Fans Amid Winless Streak and Ticket‑Price Protests

Despite a three‑game winless run that has seen Liverpool knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester City and trailing Paris Saint‑Germain 2‑0 in the Champions League quarter‑final, manager Arne Slot insists he feels "complete support" from both the club’s hierarchy and its supporters.

Slot told reporters that sporting director Richard Hughes and chief executive Michael Edwards stand firmly behind him. He added that, surprisingly, the fans have also shown solidarity, chanting "We love Liverpool" even after the 4‑0 defeat to City.

With Liverpool perched in fifth place in the Premier League – the final Champions League qualification slot – and Chelsea just one point behind, the upcoming home fixture against Fulham carries heightened importance for the club’s European ambitions.

Off the pitch, a faction of supporters is organising a protest at Anfield over the owners’ plan to raise ticket prices. The movement recalls a 2016 demonstration when roughly 10,000 fans exited a match to oppose a similar price hike, eventually forcing the American owners to retreat.

Slot expressed hope that the iconic Anfield atmosphere will remain intact, stating, "Anfield has always shown its importance in both good and tough times, and I trust the fans will continue to be a positive force, even during protest."

In related news, Slot paid tribute to Andy Robertson, who will depart after a nine‑year spell at the club. The Scotland captain, now out of contract, has seen his role diminish following the arrival of left‑back Milos Kerkez. Slot described Robertson as a "great player and a great person" who has served Liverpool loyally for nearly a decade.

Overall, Slot’s message underscores a belief that the club’s internal cohesion and the unwavering passion of its fanbase can help navigate the current challenges on and off the field.
