Liverpool fury over Houllier Aussie link

LIVERPOOL manager Gerard Houllier has dismissed as “absolute rubbish” newspaper claims that he has been offered a job setting up a football academy for Soccer Australia.

And Liverpool have revealed they will be taking legal advice over a newspaper report that Liverpool directors have already sounded out Martin O’Neill to be Houllier’s successor at Anfield.

The constant speculation involving O’Neill has increasingly angered Liverpool and Houllier and the Frenchman has moved swiftly to scotch suggestions of a job offer from Down Under.
