Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton has confirmed manager Roy Hodgson could be bought out of his contract should the club be sold.
With New England Sprts Venture expected to take the ailing Premier League side on, Broughton has admitted a clause was placed in the former Fulham coach's contract when he joined in the summer.
It has been reported that Hodgson would receive a £3million lump sum should any new owners decide they want a new man at the helm, pouring uncertainty on his future.
"Roy knew when he signed from Fulham that we were in the process of finding new owners," he revealed.
"He was fully reconciled with the possibility there would be an ownership change and the risk involved with that.
"With that in mind, provisions were made in Roy's contract to relate specifically to any change in ownership."
