A decade to the day since FSG completed their takeover of Liverpool, Jamie Carragher has lifted the lid on how he felt as a player at the time.

"The end of the stuff with the other American owners and obviously the stuff with Rafa Benitez.

"But as soon as they come in, you think, like any man on the street, is how much money have they got to spend?”
