Chris Sutton wants the FA to make an example of Jurgen Klopp and potentially ban him for up to 10 games following his outburst against Manchester City.
A furious Klopp angrily shouted at assistant referee Gary Beswick in the closing stages of the clash at Anfield following the failure to award a free-kick to matchwinner Mohamed Salah after he was dragged to the ground by Bernardo Silva.
Referee Anthony Taylor issued Klopp with a red card, and on Tuesday he was charged by the FA ahead of a potential touchline ban.
It was one of several fiery moments in the match, with the contempt spilling over into accusations from both sides after Liverpool's 1-0 win.
Klopp later apologised for his actions, and on Tuesday explained that he had a conversation with Taylor after the final whistle.
"For me it was like, I don't know, in Germany we say, 'the one drop that made the bucket overflow," said the Reds boss.
"I'm not happy with my reaction but that's the way it was and everybody saw it.
"I was sitting after the game in the office of Anthony Taylor and spoke, completely calmly, about all the situations. How I saw the game, how he saw the game. It was a completely calm discussion. That's the situation. I got a red card and now we wait for the process."
Klopp has until Friday to respond to the FA charge, meaning that he will be in the dugout for Wednesday night's clash with West Ham at Anfield, something that opposing manager David Moyes has welcomed.
Pundit Sutton feels that is wrong however, and pointed to the example that the German is setting for grass roots and junior levels of the sport.
"Klopp has since acknowledged he was in the wrong, which is all he can do. But if we want managers to stop behaving in this way, the onus is on the FA to make sure the punishments are enough of a deterrent," he wrote in his Mail Online column.
"Klopp will be on the touchline against West Ham tonight and that’s wrong. If we want to stamp out this sort of behaviour, immediate bans are a must.
"They should miss three games, six games, maybe even 10 if we truly want to drive home that this behaviour is unacceptable.
"We see managers speak after matches and hold back in their criticism — the classic Jose Mourinho : ‘If I speak I’m in big trouble’ — but they’re less controlled when in their technical area. They are role models and need to remember that. If they forget, ban them. That’ll soon instill it in their minds."
