OLIVER HOLT: Writing off Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool now is the fanciful delusions of the jealous... doubting successful managers can be foolish, like I found out with Sir Alex Ferguson

I have, regrettably, a little bit of form when it comes to writing off a great football manager and his club too hastily.

When Manchester United lost to Benfica and were knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage in 2005, I said it was time for Sir Alex Ferguson to bid farewell to Old Trafford.

That did not age well. He only won one more Champions League and five more League titles.

So you’ll forgive me if I do not compose an elegy for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool just yet.
