Damien Comolli makes Liverpool and FSG prediction after Michael Edwards exit

Former Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli believes that the success that the Reds enjoyed in the transfer market under Michael Edwards can continue because of the structure the club have in place.

Frenchman Comolli, 49, was the first major backroom hire of the Fenway Sports Group regime at Anfield when he was appointed to the role of director of football in November 2010.

He had a role in signing players who would thrive at Liverpool such as Jordan Henderson and Luis Suarez, but had less than successful forays into the market for the likes of Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam. But it was to be Reds skipper and Champions League and Premier League title winner Henderson who would be the player that would end his time at Anfield, with Comolli having previously claimed that it was the signing of the midfielder from Sunderland and a lack of an instant return that would prompt FSG to part ways with Comolli by mutual consent in April of 2012.
