Former Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli claims that signing stand-in England captain Jordan Henderson was 'one of the main reasons I got sacked'.
The Frenchman, who has also worked as a director at Arsenal and Tottenham, was dismissed from his role at Anfield in 2012 for failures in the transfer market - which included being told that Henderson was a 'waste of money.
Henderson's arrival from Sunderland for of fee of £16million in June 2011 raised eyebrows, but the midfielder has gone on to replace Steven Gerrard as Liverpool skipper and was handed the England captaincy for Tuesday's goalless draw with Slovenia.
