Damien Comolli claims the signing of Jordan Henderson cost him his job with Liverpool.
Comolli, who joined Liverpool in 2010, has revealed he was not told why he was sacked in 2012 but that he was 'led to believe' that Henderson's arrival at Anfield was the main reason for his departure.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Comolli said: "When we signed Jordan Henderson, he got so much criticism, I got so much criticism.
"I was never told why I was sacked but I was led to believe it was because we signed Jordan Henderson, and the owners were convinced he was not good enough.
"Looking at all this, what he was doing for his age, and all due respect to Sunderland, he was definitely undervalued by the market. And I've been told we overvalued him. Even directors at Sunderland later said 'you didn't know what you were doing'."
