The club today called a press conference at noon, during which the fate of coach Gerard Houllier should be clarified. It is rumored behind the scenes that he will most likely be fired.
This season, the club only achieved the minimum goal set by the management - securing the 4th place in the Premier League and a spot in next year's UEFA Champions League, but they fell behind by as much as 15 points from the third-placed team.
It is believed that G. Houllier may stay at the club, but with different, non-head coach responsibilities.
With the club, G. Houllier won five trophies, but failed to repeat the success of 1970 and 1980.
The Frenchman recently stated that he will definitely stay at the club. The team leaders did not comment on his statement.
Coach Martin O'Neal and manager Alan Curbishley were mentioned as some of the most realistic candidates to replace the current Liverpool coach. Coach Rafael Benitez was also mentioned as a candidate, but his agent officially denied it yesterday.
