We asked for your reaction to the sacking of Arne Slot, whether it was the right call and what you make of the timing.
Here are some of your comments:
Jack B: Too slow by FSG! The opportunity to make this change has been there for months and yet they make it now that prime candidate (Xabi Alonso) has moved to a Premier League rival. And all this after spending so heavily on players last summer presumably following Slot’s vision! Sums up the season – a dismal mess.

Charlotte: I feel bad but I think he needed to go. Regrettable that Mo Salah has already announced his departure because maybe he could have stayed. This is what is best for the club if we want to get back to the standards we need to uphold.
Sonny: For Liverpool to sack a coach it usually takes a lot, and while he may have been sacked by Chelsea or Manchester United, I didn’t see us being that bold. I feel sorry for him, as winning the league surely buys you a third season, or at least part of one. While I was not optimistic in the slightest for next season, it still feels as if it has ended in an unsatisfactory way. Thank you for everything, Arne. You will always be remembered for that 20th title.
Adrian: Sad but necessary. Slot had an amazing first campaign but we have lost our way this season. A lot of challenges on and off the pitch but the right decision. Thank you for the Premier League title Arne – good luck!
Ian: I’m not sure this is the best decision but a lot of fans will be happy. Only time will tell.

Alfie: I have mixed feelings about it. However, I am happy we did it now rather than wait and do it in the first few months of the next season. There are many decent managers on the market at the minute so I think the club have made the right decision.
Dean: Sad but it needed to be done. He had lost the dressing room and his tactics were too erratic. Also he never had any stability in his squad choices – there was little consistency.
Lisa: Definitely the right thing to do, but too late. Too late to get Alonso in as manager, when he was free and perfect to step in. More importantly, too late for Mo Salah and Andy Robertson. We need someone who truly understands what Liverpool means – to the players, to the fans and to the city.
