Naturally during a time like this, Liverpool fans are going to be very curious about how the club's management and higher-ups are viewing the situation.
In the media there has been a lot of conversations that Slot's future is not in doubt. Ultimately, he is going to be given time to turn things around.

Well The Telegraph have published an interesting insight into the behind the scenes at Liverpool right now.
According to their report it is the view of FSG that managers just like players can go through a dip in form. So, they are not in a rush to part ways with Slot.
In fact some at Liverpool believe that the new signings will also take their time to adjust and therefore should be given more time.
But the report also states that ultimately Slot cannot sustain this slump and continue to lose. At a certain time, FSG's patience will run out.

This means the board will not act. Not unless they have to, unless results continue to be in the same trajectory as they have been for the last couple of months.
If Slot can turn it around and use West Ham as a momentum that won't be necessary. However, if he is not able to sustain this and continues to succumb to more defeats, there's just no way he can avoid getting the sack.
It's pragmatism right now at Liverpool. But ultimately, FSG might have a decision to make. For now, patience is king.
