Liverpool Chair Tom Werner assured fans that Reds’ Owners Fenway Sports Group "are committed to the club for the long term -- and taking them back to the top in a redeveloped Anfield stadium," according to John Thompson of the LIVERPOOL ECHO.
Werner, who flew in this week with Reds co-Owner John Henry for a series of top level meetings, said that talks are ongoing with Raheem Sterling and his representatives "to conclude a deal 'that is good for him and good for Liverpool.'" Werner, who with Henry witnessed the victory over Tottenham in a five-goal Anfield thriller, also "spoke of the importance of getting Anfield’s stadium development -- now finally underway -- right."
That process has included "making changes this week and taking decisions down to the smallest details" to ensure a planned £150M ($231M) new look Anfield "fits in with not just the club’s look and traditions, but also those of the city itself."
Werner also assured supporters that he "does have sympathy with those campaigning for lower ticket prices to ensure ordinary fans -- and a younger generation of supporters -- aren't priced out of the game in years to come" (LIVERPOOL ECHO, 2/13).
