Houllier's job could be on the line

Morgan is known to be a critic of Houllier and has failed to back him in the past.

Although his £73 proposed investment would not give him the power to sack Houllier, he could certainly encourage a revolt among the board members.

"It is neither the time nor the place to be discussing the future of the manager," said Morgan.

"I am a fan of any manager who is manager of Liverpool Football Club. His track record over the last few signings has not been good. He has made mistakes but haven't we all.

"The manager has had some success over the last six years, but every supporter would have been disappointed to finish fifth last year and hopefully finishing fourth this year.

"We are closer to the bottom than to the top and that has to change. We have got to be fighting for the Premiership next year."
