The Athletic FC Podcast · Will Champions League save Slot at Liverpool? · 26 May 2026 podcast

And now they've effectively said, we're not going to do it.

So we know that that has massively frustrated Michael Edwards.

So, you know, is he going to stay around beyond 2027?

There's a massive question mark there.

You know, Richard Hughes as well.

There's been so much speculation about him potentially going to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.

You know, my information as we stand at the minute is that he's fully committed to Liverpool for this coming transfer window.

But I think, again, big question mark over Richard Hughes beyond 2027.

uh this summer and i think i think very much edwards and hughes came as a double act i would be amazed if one stayed without the other and then you wonder whether that you know does that almost have an impact in terms of what happens with slot as well because i think if you were going to change manager this this summer then would a new guy coming in be like well what what's the long-term plan let's talk about the next three four years and it's like well

So, yeah, I think all of that doesn't help the kind of general sense of unease about the direction of the club.

Yeah, I think there's two glaring priorities that just have to be addressed.

The one is pace out wide.

That has massively hurt Liverpool all season.

The lack of energy and dynamism and ability to beat someone down both flanks.

Not only have you had the kind of decline in Mo Salah down the right,

But of course, they sold Luis Diaz, didn't replace him because they thought, well, Cody Gagpo is going to go to the next level.

We've got young Rio and Gamoa coming through.

We don't want to block his pathway.

But Gagpo's had an absolutely torrid season.

So, you know, they have to clearly buy a Salah replacement.
