FSG will be ‘run out’ of Liverpool if Klopp departs: Carragher

Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) will be “run out” of the club in a week if they lose manager Juergen Klopp over the breakaway European Super League, former defender Jamie Carragher said.

A group of 12 top European clubs, including Liverpool, said on Sunday they were launching the breakaway competition, sparking outrage across football and beyond.

Klopp told Sky Sports on Monday that his opinion on a breakaway league had not changed since 2019 when he said he hoped it would never happen.

“The biggest thing is everyone’s against it … Klopp spoke about this in 2019 and made his stance very clear,” Carragher said.

“If Liverpool lose their manager on the back of this in the next 12 months, then the owners will be run out of that club in a week. I can assure you of that.”
