Have Liverpool decided not to sack Arne Slot?

Seems simple but some really do not adhere to what appears to be a pretty bloody obvious rule.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool decision over Arne Slot after latest defeat\u2019 say <strong>CaughtOffside<\/strong>, before immediately quoting Fabrizio Romano in saying that \u201cat the moment I have no information that the Liverpool owners are thinking of making an immediate decision\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So the \u2018decision\u2019 he has confirmed is that there is no decision. And do you know why there is no decision? Because it would be mental to make a \u2018decision\u2019 after every single football match. It\u2019s the equivalent of making a \u2018decision\u2019 on your marriage at the end of every day.<\/p>\n<p>Over at <strong>SPORTbible<\/strong>, they report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/liverpool-romano-reveals-sack-slot-forest-loss-complicates-situation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>those same Romano quotes<\/strong><\/a> and end up here:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Update on Arne Slot\u2019s Future Emerges as Club \u2018Told Sack Decision\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Have they been \u2018Told Sack Decision\u2019 by Romano? Or by Jamie Redknapp, who unsurprisingly said there should be no Slot sack? It\u2019s all an absolute nonsense designed to make you think that there has been some sort of \u2018decision\u2019. Readers, there has not.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Fabrizio Romano drops bombshell new update on Arne Slot Liverpool future as sack decision made,\u2019 is the choice of <strong>LiverpoolWorld<\/strong>, who are perhaps the only outlet who could possibly claim that \u201cno information\u201d is a \u2018bombshell new update\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>And if there can\u2019t be a \u2018decision\u2019, then what about a \u2018verdict\u2019? Over to the <strong>Liverpool Echo<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Arne Slot sack verdict delivered as Xabi Alonso Liverpool return addressed<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And who has the \u2018sack verdict\u2019 been delivered by, exactly?

We know it\u2019s not Liverpool, but is it Biscan? Or perhaps Djimi Traore?<\/p>\n<p>No, it\u2019s four<strong> Express<\/strong> journalists, who all agree that there should be no sacking of Arne Slot. More as they\/we get it.<\/p>\n<p>But the real juice is in pretending that Gary Neville has the inside track on the sacking of Arne Slot.
