Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says Jurgen Klopp departing would delight the club's Prem rivals.

Carragher wrote for the Sunday World: "A lot of people are focusing on the decline in Klopp's last year at Dortmund. There should be more attention on how long it has taken them to get over his departure. Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group were never going to make the same mistake as their German counterparts, no matter how much results deteriorate this season.

"As a renowned strategist, John W Henry would always ask himself this: who benefits most when Klopp leaves Liverpool? The champagne would flow in the boardrooms of Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, anticipating the return of the pre-Klopp period in Anfield history when the club spent one of five years in the Champions League.

"At Liverpool, the response of modern supporters would be comparable to the departure of Kenny Dalglish in 1991, or Bill Shankly in 1974. The reaction to the last two months has made me realise that no matter how often those of us connected to the club reiterate that, either the message has not been received beyond Merseyside or there is a baffling ignorance of it."
