Former Liverpool chief exec Christian Purslow is convinced manager Jurgen Klopp is the right man in charge.

Purslow has backed the German to deliver the success Liverpool supporters crave.

“It was a coup to get him as manager," he told the Liverpool Echo. “Because he fits beautifully with our club in every respect.

“The way he goes about his work, the way he treats people, the way he plays football, he feels like a brilliant fit.

“And more importantly than that, he has won titles without being the number one spender. And that is the job description at Liverpool.

“We will never be the No.1 spender in English football, and yet we want to be champions. So we have got a manager who believes it isn't just about the money. You can see that what he believes, I believe it too, and that's why I think we have got the right person.

“We are well positioned to cement third, fourth on average, over say a five-year period – but do I believe Klopp can deliver the title on any given year? Absolutely!"
