Liverpool fans passion convinced NESV - Werner

The passion of Liverpool fans was key to convincing NESV to buy the club, says new chairman Tom Werner.

Werner and John W Henry had another close-hand experience of the fervour at Anfield in the win over Napoli and will be back in directors box harness against Chelsea today.

Werner said: "The passion of the fans at Liverpool is so palpable, not just at Anfield but round the world.

"Part of the reason we took on this challenge was we wanted to reward those fans for the loyalty they have shown to one of the great clubs in sport.

"We understand the impatience of fans. Our intention is to build a great club from the foundations up, to find the very best people in football and on the revenue side.

"It would be crazy to promise too much, too soon. But I hope our track record is a guide that we are successful operators and we will deliver. We went to the Anfield Museum and our intention is to increase the amount of silverware there."
