Houllier wants Liverpool to nail down top four spot

LIVERPOOL boss Gerard Houllier believes “the club with the human touch” can launch themselves back into the Champions League.

Houllier believes the unique atmosphere he sees as part of the Liverpool tradition will make his job easier and rewarding in the months ahead.

There is little doubt now that it is this mood at Anfield which will encourage Liverpool to offer Houllier another contract long before his current one expires in 2005, and an extension of the "continuity and stability" which will ensure he stays at the club for many more years to come.
