Klopp has now called out Bournemouth owners for firing his counterpart, admitting that he felt sorry for Parker.

The Liverpool boss suggested it was wrong for the Vitality Stadium-based outfit to take the drastic decision, especially considering that they had not backed Parker during the transfer window.

"When I heard the news today I realised how important it is in this moment to have the right owners at the football club," Klopp said as quoted by Express UK.
"Nottingham Forest are spending, Fulham is and I can't remember Bournemouth doing a lot, which is difficult for a coach. I felt for Scott," he added.
