The new chairman believes in extending the EPL schedule to play a 39th game outside the U.K., he stated “pre season friendlies are great but why not have an actual match in season”. As far as investment in the club he assured the fans, “we’re men of our word. Any profits will be invested in the club”.
Liverpool principal owner John W Henry also speaking to the press revealed that the club is in the market for the highest calibre players and on Roy’s position he said “I expect him to be here next season..I have no problem at all with Roy Hodgson.”
