Whule it is reported that the Anfield board do not favour a move for the former Leicester City boss, Quinn has made his stance clear in the aftermath of Gerard Houllier's Anfield exit.
Quinn said: "I would say, ' I regard it as an unfriendly act and if you're looking for my permission to do it, I don't give it'.
"We intend to hold onto Martin O'Neill and resist any overtures by any club. We will move everything to retain Martin O'Neill."
