Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony says Southampton boss Russell Martin should be considered for the Liverpool job.

MacAnthony is famously a big Liverpool fan.

"An outside shout would be I think somebody who's going to manage anyway at the top, and they wouldn't get a chance now, they would have to prove it, but would be Russell Martin," MacAnthony said on his podcast The Hard Truth.

“I think when he takes Southampton up, and he finishes top half, with his style of play, I think bigger clubs will come in and take him."

Martin has Saints well placed for promotion from the Championship this season.
