Speaking on ESPN, Nicol stated that a trophy would make it easier for the hierarchy to retain the manager following last season's Premier League title win. "If Liverpool don't get in the Champions League, winning the FA Cup could save Arne Slot's job," Nicol said. He suggested the club would likely grant the manager another season if silverware is secured.
The debate over Slot's future intensifies as Liverpool faces Wolves in the FA Cup, with fans divided on whether the title triumph guarantees patience amidst a mixed league campaign.
