FSG have reminded Liverpool fans of the ruthless side to their ownership after sacking Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora.
The Americans opted to make a change with the MLB side lying at the bottom of the AL East this season.

Over in the Premier League, the Reds themselves have had a poor campaign by their lofty standards, but could yet secure Champions League football under Arne Slot.
A Premier League title won’t save Arne Slot
Red Sox fans will be more than familiar with Cora’s remarkable record, having won the 2018 World Series off the back of a franchise-best 108 wins.

Fast forward to 2026, and the 50-year-old was shown the door with the outfit failing to meet expectations.
Not comfortable reading for Slot over at Liverpool, who’ll know that past success will only keep him in the job at Anfield for so long.
Whether the credit he has in the bank from our 2024/25 Premier League title win will help the Dutchman survive into 2026/27, however, remains to be seen.
Liverpool set to stick with Slot next season
Reports coming out of Liverpool indicate that FSG continue to back Arne Slot and want him to lead the club into the next campaign.
The circumstances, admittedly, look less dire on the red half of Merseyside, with the reigning Premier League champions on course to secure Champions League football.
This, one might imagine, will be the key factor behind the former Feyenoord boss being allowed to hold on to the reins beyond the summer. This, and, of course, mitigating factors beyond the head coach’s control, including the tragic passing of Diogo Jota ahead of the season.

* Arne Slot’s managerial record this season in all competitions (Transfermarkt)
But Liverpool are ultimately a club designed to do more than just confirm Champions League football – and the riches that follow – year in, year out. We’re a club meant to be winning trophies every single season, and at least competing for the most significant honours.
If we’re failing to do that, while also committing to an unattractive style of football, we struggle to see a world in which FSG’s patience is limitless.
In that case, Slot should consider Cora’s case as a warning.
FSG wont sack slot while we have champions league football.
Liverpool are ultimately a club designed to do more than be content with champions league football.
Wrong, we were before FSG, our history was built by winning trophies, since FSG the fa cup and league cuphas become irrelevant, weakened teams like palace games are the proof. There’s not enough money in domestic cups for FSG, the manager is ordered to prioritise the champions league.
If we are failing to do that, while also playing unattractive football we struggle to see a world in which FSG patience is limitless.
Wrong again. Liverpool supporters show more grievance to the national Anthem than FSG.
There wasn’t any after the super league, even when they forced out klopp, apathy has set in.
FSG are here to stay, nomatter how bad things get.
Slot can sleep easily while Liverpool get champions league, FSG only care about the champions league revenues, nothing else.
we have to buy Diomande .
You are right Liverpool should be challenging for honours every season. However when I listen to slot’s conference, he always said Liverpool was not a team that is used to winning titles every year. This statement has totally shattered my support for him. If he is not good enough to winning titles for Liverpool every season, then he should leave the role for a better candidate.
The best decision is to just relieve Slot no matter what. He lacks tactics of winning the games. Last season we won the league because of the material that was left by Jurgen Klopp. Slot is too small to go further with Liverpool in terms of winning silverware.
