Liverpool chief Ian Ayre is in the gun over their failure to land new Tottenham signing Clint Dempsey on Friday.
The Mail on Sunday says Liverpool fans have erupted in fury at the club's failures on transfer deadline day as the side attempt to register a first Premier League win of the season.
The future of managing director Ayre is under scrutiny as he seeks to explain why top target Clint Dempsey ended up at Tottenham.
Anfield activists have flooded Twitter and club-related forums with the kind of vitriol not seen since former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett were forced out two years ago.
