Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has warned Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez that “no-one is bigger than the club.”
Benitez brought Fowler back to Anfield for an emotional second spell four years ago, but his own position has come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks.
And Fowler, now playing for Perth Glory in Australia, said: “I was always grateful to him (Benitez) for bringing me back, so I always have a bit of a soft spot for him, but at the end of the day it’s a big club and no one is bigger than the club.
“First and foremost we want to be winning trophies and to be the top dogs. It’s a tricky situation. I don’t want to be sat here saying he has got to go, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
“I just want Liverpool to do well, whether it’s Rafa there or someone else there I don’t really mind.
“First and foremost Liverpool is Liverpool and I think we deserve to be top of the table every year. Whoever is in charge has a big job on their hands.”
With his own playing days coming to a close, Fowler revealed he is looking to turn to coaching himself and has ambitiously pointed to the top job at Anfield as his dream appointment.
The 35-year-old striker is currently playing in Australia’s domestic league where he is contracted for at least one more season with Perth Glory, so any move into coaching is still some way off.
Fowler is also yet to earn his coaching badges and while he admits his dream to manage Liverpool is “a million miles away” should it one day happen it would not be the first time he has made a shock return to a club where he is revered.
