New Tranmere Rovers assistant boss Jason McAteer is keen to establish a stronger relationship with Liverpool.
"It would be daft not to try and exploit some sort of relationship with the likes of Liverpool," he told LFC Magazine.
"I haven't been in the job long but anyone I've already spoken to at Liverpool has been first class.
"Along with the likes of Man City, United, Everton and Blackburn, Liverpool are one of several top clubs on our doorstep who we hope to be able to work with in some way.
"Money is tight at this level. It can be really difficult when you're working on the budgets a club like Tranmere has to.
"We have to work within our means so we would be stupid not to sit down and listen to the likes of Liverpool if they wanted to help in any way or offer some advice."
