Liverpool owner John W Henry is delighted with the way his football department is working.

Manager Kenny Dalglish has gone on record several times about how cordial his relationship with football director Damien Comolli is and Henry - who has stressed that the manager always has the final decision on new signings - says the two men have proven to be an ideal foil.

"I was speaking with Kenny about it this week and he doesn't see that much difference between our model and the model of Liverpool when he was managing before," Henry said.

"It's up to Damien and his staff to identify, study and acquire the right players, but Kenny always has the ultimate say. The two of them work very, very well with each other."
