Pool future in ‘good hands’

LIVERPOOL’S departing chairman Martin Broughton feels he is leaving the club in good hands as he prepares to hand over to New England Sports Ventures’ Tom Werner.

Broughton effectively signed off at last weekend’s match against West Ham, but his tenure does not officially end until Tuesday after which time the NESV chairman will take over.

Having endured some “difficult”, “complicated” and “uncomfortable” times during his seven-month stint Broughton is happy to be able to step aside confident Liverpool’s new owners will take the club forward.
