Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier's job could be under threat if millionaire fan Steve Morgan succeeds in a £73m attempt to buy into the club. Morgan said he was making a bid to prevent Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra from buying 30% of the club.
But the building magnate also said of Houllier's record on signings: "Anyone can make mistakes, but we just seem to have made a hell of a lot of them."
He aims to raise £61m with a rights issue and £12m through a share issue.
At a news conference on Wednesday, Morgan said it was "not the time or place" to discuss Houllier, but added that Liverpool had endured a "frustrating and disappointing" season.
Morgan, however, made his displeasure with Houllier's recent record clear.
"The manager has managed the club for the last six years and had some very good successes, but every supporter will be disappointed with this season.
"We are closer to the bottom than the top in terms of points and that has got to change."
He added: "The manager's track record for signings over the last few seasons has not been good, but equally he has made some good signings.
"I'm not going to name names, but we all know who these players are. There are certainly some I would like to see the back of."
