Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League and limped into the Champions League spots on the final day of the season following a poor 1-1 draw with Brentford.
Despite criticism from fans, pundits and even his own players following Mohamed Salah’s statement, Slot is set to stay as he is back by the board.
As pressure mounts, Murphy revealed to talkSPORT that Slot could be replaced if he does not kick off the season with an impressive start.
"If Slot doesn't start well, it's (pressure) going to start again. I don't think he's got a big say in the players (recruitment), by the way. But I think he's going to have some sort of say in the players that come in. But if he starts badly and they're sitting in fifth, sixth after eight games, it's done.”
Enrique to Liverpool?
Expanding further on who could step in for the Dutchman, Murphy admitted that Enrique could be the perfect manager to lead Liverpool back to their best.
"I would try and break the bank and do anything I can to get Luis Enrique. Well, if Luis Enrique wins the Champions League again, what more can he do? He must be bored there, playing in a Mickey Mouse league where he wins every week. All he's looking forward to is the Champions League. He must want more challenge, surely?"
"If you watch PSG as a Liverpool fan, you're thinking, that's how I want us to play. A bit like Jurgen Klopp's team, aren't they, PSG? And if you're one of the biggest clubs in the world, go and get the best."
Enrique has been Paris Saint-Germain manager for three years, winning 121 of his 173 games in charge to date. His style of football is greatly admired by Liverpool but he is very unlikely to jump ship as he continues to find immense success in the French capital.
