Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan doubts manager Roberto Martinez would want to move to Liverpool.
The 75-year-old doubts the attraction of the Liverpool job and described Anfield a 'desolate place'.
"The club have great supporters, but the place is a morgue, a desolate place, without heart; all I can say is what a shame for their supporters," Whelan told ESPN.
"As for a new manager, I am sure they might want my manager, but he's been the favourite for the West Brom job, then favourite for the Aston Villa job, now he's favourite for the Liverpool job.
"I don't know who they will appoint, they have to sort themselves out, all I can tell you is that I haven't had an approach for Roberto.
"I hope Roberto is with me for the start of the new season, but in football you can never tell. I do know that he is an honest man, and if he is approached by anyone he will tell me about it.
"If Roberto thought he could go to another club because that club was so big and the challenge so great he couldn't resist it, then I would step aside and let him, but I wouldn't think he should go to Liverpool, he would be better off with us."
