Reds chief backing Roy

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has voiced his support of Roy Hodgson but knows results must improve.
Manager Hodgson, who took the hot-seat at Anfield five months ago, has been under pressure for most of his tenure up to now, particularly after the Reds won just one of their first eight Premier League games.
Despite things picking up since then, Liverpool endured another low on Saturday when they were beaten 3-1 by Newcastle at St James' Park.
Speaking on a phone-in on LFC TV, Werner said: "We just got here, Roy got here shortly before us. Nobody, least of all Roy, was happy with our performance last weekend.
"We have to perform better, especially on the road. We believe in what Roy is doing and we certainly feel like the performance has to improve, and he'd be the first to say that."
The future of Anfield is one of the key issues for Werner and new owner John Henry, who are weighing up the pros and cons of a move to a new ground versus redeveloping the current stadium.
"We certainly feel the need to do something," continued Werner. "Our intention is to increase our revenue so we can put the best possible squad together.
"We're hard at it, we've had a lot of meetings and we are moving forward with various options. It's too early to go in one direction or another in terms of whether or not to build a new stadium or refurbish Anfield, but we are making progress."
There have been reports a ground-share with fierce local rivals Everton could be an option but Henry insists that would be a non-starter if it did not have the backing of the supporters.
The Boston Red Sox owner also addressed the issue of spending in the January transfer window, adding: "We're actively looking at it.
"We don't quite know what the situation's going to be in January. It's our first transfer window and it's something we've been studying day and night.
"There's no doubt the play that has gone on this season, and for the last half of last season, is unacceptable for Liverpool to accomplish what it wants to accomplish.
"We're in sync with the fans with regard to what it's going to take for this club going forward."
