Liverpool chief Hogan says Klopp again backed in summer market

Liverpool managing director Billy Hogan says supporting Jurgen Klopp in the transfer market will not change.

The Reds earlier this month revealed a profit before tax of £125million for their latest set of accounts to May 31 2018.

Hogan, speaking in the February edition of fcbusiness, has indicated Klopp will again be able to spend big in the summer despite almost £200m being invested in the revamped Main Stand and the ongoing construction of a new training base at Kirkby.

"That represents a significant investment into the non-playing side and that is a great indication of where we are as a club, both on and off the pitch," said Hogan to fcbusiness.

"From our perspective, what you are seeing is a continuation of that performance on the pitch and the reinvestment in the squad, which is the most important thing from our point of view; nothing is a distraction from putting a successful team on the pitch.

"Putting Jurgen and the guys on the football side in a position to compete at the highest levels, that is always our focus and we see our contribution to that in the form of being able to run the business in a better way and being able to drive revenues to invest back into the team."
