It's a little over a decade since Damien Comolli and Liverpool parted ways.
Comolli had been one of the first major hires of the Fenway Sports Group regime at Anfield in 2010, installed in the role of director of football to shape the recruitment strategy at the club and implement the kind of team building that FSG, then known as New England Sports Ventures, desired.
But less than two years on from arriving on Merseyside from Tottenham Hotspur, Comolli and Liverpool parted ways by 'mutual consent', the Frenchman shown the door after being blamed for a number of transfer failings including Andy Carroll and, rather surprisingly in hindsight, Jordan Henderson.
