Overview
- Warnock says he fell out with Houllier at Aston Villa before assistant Gary McAllister told him Dalglish wanted him on loan with a view to a permanent move.
- He claims he agreed to halve his wages to make the switch possible, only for Villa to reject the arrangement.
- According to Warnock, Villa then added about a £500,000 loan fee late in talks, prompting Liverpool to pull back over the changed terms.
- He says the collapsed move left him in the reserves for the rest of the season, recounting frustration that saw him removed from training areas.
- The account was given on the In The Mixer podcast, sponsored by Sky Bet, with outlets relaying his remarks and noting Houllier’s death in 2020.
