'His appointment would certainly excite the Liverpool fans who had become so disillusioned with Rodgers and in this day and age their part in the whole process cannot be over-estimated,' Owen continued.
'He would also bring a burning desire to succeed and to take the club from their true position of "top six" to right back in the mix for winning the title and where finishing top four is a given every season.'
Liverpool hope to appoint Jurgen Klopp by the end of the week.
Jamie Redknapp also believes that Jurgen Klopp would be the perfect choice to take over at Anfield.
"Klopp has that aura and special something about him. He can walk into Anfield and the fans would like that," he told Sky Sports News HQ.
"He would be the perfect fit. He is available, the fact they've acted now makes me think they will go for him.
"You do need someone who understands the fabric of the club like Robbie Fowler and Didi Hamann who they may start to look at to help him.
