Liverpool chief Ayre: New role dream come true

Liverpool's managing director Ian Ayre admits it's a dream come true taking charge of the club.

Ayre, a life-long Reds fan, was named managing director this week.

He told liverpoolfc.tv: "I spoke to my dad and my mum, who both still live in Liverpool, and my kids and it feels like they're more excited than me but I think that's just because it hasn't really sunk in.

"But as I said, for my family and for myself, it's such a proud moment and I think what is great, and I said this to John on Friday when we spoke, the great thing is for them is that there is a massive insurance policy there because I wouldn't just be letting them down if I didn't do the best I could do in this job, but I'd be letting my family and friends down and they're more important than anything in life. It's a great challenge but I'm very honoured to have it."
