Liam Gallagher has sent a brutal two-word message after Jurgen Klopp confirmed he was leaving Liverpool on Friday.
Having been in charge of the Merseyside giants since October 2015, the German is opting for a move away from Anfield at the end of the season.
Many fans are saddened by Klopp’s departure, with the 56-year-old having impressed during his tenure in the Premier League.
However, one team whose fans will be happy to see Klopp return is Manchester City.

City and Liverpool have regularly competed for the biggest titles during Klopp’s successful spell in the dugout.
And Gallagher, who is a huge fan of the reigning Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League winners, has reacted brutally to Klopp’s exit.
“Good riddance,” he replied to Radio X host Jonny Vaughan on Friday.
“I didn’t find anything, yes, got rid of it. See you later!”
Liverpool are currently five points ahead of City at the top of the Premier League table, having played one game more.
And all signs point towards the two giants enjoying another interesting battle in the coming months.
City boss Pep Guardiola was asked about Klopp’s bombshell exit following his team’s 1-0 FA Cup win over Tottenham.
Nathan Ake scored the only goal of the game to send Guardiola’s side through to the fifth round of the historic competition.
And Guardiola joked that he would sleep better knowing that Klopp would soon be packing his bags and going for a walk into the sunset.
“I’d better sleep. The game against Liverpool has been almost a nightmare,” he said.
“Of course he’ll be missed. I was surprised like everyone else.”
“I felt when I heard the news that a part of Man City was going to lose something.
“We can’t define our period here without him. We can’t define our period without Liverpool. It’s impossible.
“He has been our biggest rival and personally he has been the best rival I have ever had in my life.
“The Premier League will miss him, his charisma and personality. And especially the way his teams play.”

“It has always been a pleasure to honor his point of view, no matter how positive.
“The fans will try to win the game. Of course, I wish them the best. It’s always difficult, but from now on Liverpool will be even more difficult.”
Klopp has not completely closed the door on leaving management, expressing his desire to live a ‘normal life’.
However, Guardiola hopes that his old enemy will return to the dugout in the future.
He said, “Maybe it’s my opinion, he won’t admit it, but he’ll be back. I know that.”

“Maybe in 10 years’ time, I don’t know, he said he needs to recharge his energy. That’s his personality and his energy.
“He will come back to the national team, to another team, somewhere, I don’t know.
“Football needs personalities like him. My dream is to be able to have dinner together and have whatever drinks we want.”
