Jamie Carragher labels Lord Sugar a ‘f***ing idiot’

Jamie Carragher hit out at Lord Sugar on Monday morning, calling him a ‘f***ing idiot’ on Twitter after using his tribute to Gerard Houllier to have a dig at Piers Morgan.

The former Liverpool and Aston Villa manager has died at the age of 73 three weeks after having aortic aneurysm surgery in Paris. 

The Frenchman, who also managed Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon, had a long history of medical issues, most notably a heart problem and high blood pressure, but the cause of his death remains unknown.

Tributes poured in for Houllier on social media but Carragher, the former Liverpool defender and Sky Sports pundit who played under Houllier at Anfield, took offence to Lord Sugar’s post.

The Apprentice star aimed a gentle dig at Morgan, Sugar’s long-term Twitter sparring partner, to claim he would use Houllier’s death to ‘tell every one how he knew him so well’ on Good Morning Britain.

Lord Sugar, who also spelt the Frenchman’s name incorrectly, ‘Sad news on Gerard Houlier. Nice fellow.

‘I can imagine that @piersmorgan will devote half @gmb show telling every one how he knew him so well and go back ages’.

Carragher was less than impressed with the comment and snapped back: ‘Delete this you f***ing idiot.’ 

Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann also hit out at Lord Sugar, writing: ‘You obviously didn’t know him otherwise you’d pay him the respect he deserved. 

‘One of the few gentleman in the football world, which can’t be said of yourself.’
