St Etienne co-chairman Bernard Caiazzo has launched a bitter parting shot at former employee Damien Comolli.
Comolli was previously in charge of transfer signings at the French club but quit to become Liverpool's director of football strategy earlier this month.
The decision has been greeted with mixed response from Reds fans but Comolli is no stranger to the English game, having also worked with Arsenal and Tottenham.
However, Caiazzo has slammed his former colleague's 'arrogance, incompetence and judgement' while also claiming the Ligue 1 side are better off without his services.
"We are not crying into our handkerchiefs," Caiazzo told the News of the World.
"You need some humility in football and Damien was convinced he was right 100 per cent of the time. There was never any question of dialogue.
"Damien enjoyed total power in his first year with us. His was the last word on all transfers and that is how he wanted it.
"The manager at the time, Alain Perrin, had not even seen some of the players he was given. Damien was his boss.
"His powers were much reduced in January after the failure of his transfer policy the previous summer and he was not pleased.
"I would have fired him then but my co-chairman defended him for months, even when results were poor.
"It was a mistake bringing him back to the club."
