New Liverpool chairman Werner throws support behind Hodgson

Thomas Werner has been named new chairman of Liverpool.

Werner is vowing to get behind Roy Hodgson and the team with a view to achieving success on and off the field.

Relieved to see the takeover saga conclude yesterday, Werner said: "I think it's been a very interesting rollercoaster but now our focus is on stabilising the club.

"We've been with the players this morning and the manager and we introduced ourselves, told them that we're here to be supportive, to be constructive and we have a great history in Boston of providing the resources to win and we expect to do the same."

Werner added on liverpoolfc.tv: "We look forward to spending the next few days here talking to various stakeholders and telling them about a little bit of our track record and how we're going to go about our business."
