Can you loose a territory on a support.

I am France in my current game. I currently have a fleet in Liverpool and am trying to take Wales so I can move into London with Two fronts to destroy an Army in London . I have the English Channel and the Mid-Atlantic Ocean, however, England has the Irish Sea and I am worried about potentially losing Liverpool. So my question is... If I conveyed an Army from Picardy to Wales through the English Channel and supported Picardy to Wales with my fleet in Liverpool could I loose Liverpool if England tries to take Liverpool from the Irish Sea while it is supporting Army Picardy to Wales? Do not want to waste an order. Thanks in Advance!

This question is far too detailed w/r/t the game, violating the first guideline:
However, the question posed in the topic can be answered generally: yes, a unit ordered to support another unit can be dislodged if it's not sufficiently supported itself. The game rules provide more details and examples.
