Newly appointed Liverpool FC CEO Billy Hogan has vowed to extend his full support towards Jurgen Klopp’s transfer business this summer, despite admitting that the current times are full of uncertainty in regard to the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Premier League champions have been one of the minor players in the ongoing transfer window. Kostas Tsimikas remains the Reds’ only first-team signing ahead of next season, with the Greek left-back joining the Anfield giants for an £11.75 million last month.
Despite a general judgment being reserved by a large section of the Liverpool FC fanbase that their club should aim to strengthen their ranks to successfully defend the Premier League crown against the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea, it is common knowledge that the present squad at Klopp’s disposal remains a world-class ensemble of talented players.
Hogan, who succeeded the outgoing Peter Moore as the Merseyside club’s chief, outlined his intentions of backing Klopp and Michael Edwards in the future transfer business to be done by the club.
“We’re just looking forward to starting the campaign as champions.
“Now it’s my job to lead the business and ensure we support Jurgen and Michael and the team at Melwood as best we can.”
However, steering the club clear of any difficulties during this uncertain stage brought on about by the COVID-19 pandemic remains a key priority, expressed Hogan in a recent interview to the club’s website.
“Clearly we’re in a great position, obviously an amazing last couple of seasons, in particular this past season with all the success on the pitch,” the Liverpool FC CEO said.
“We’ve obviously got incredibly solid foundations but these are uncertain times, so we’ve got to manage through that uncertainty.
