Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has taken aim at club owners FSG.
Nicol believes that if Liverpool sell Philippe Coutinho it will prove club's owners are only interested in money.
“Eventually somewhere down the line someone has to say that the good of the club is the most important thing," Nicol told ESPN.
“When you bring your kids up and they start moaning, you don't just give in because it will make them feel better.
“This is going to be a defining time for the Fenway group and their ownership. If Liverpool want to win the Premier League they are going to have to keep Coutinho. If they sell Coutinho they are going to have to start again.
“Liverpool fans are going to be absolutely distraught if Coutinho is allowed to go. If Liverpool turn around and say we let him go because he had made his mind up, he wasn't happy, don't give me that. It's nonsense.
“I want to hear that we want to have a chance of winning the Premier League and we're keeping our best players."
