Ayre optimistic about Liverpool's future

Liverpool’s managing director Ian Ayre is looking forward to more money being invested in players instead of paying off debt now that the club’s finances are on a more even keel.

The Reds’ accounts, published later today, show they made a £20m loss for the 12 months ending July 2010 – the last full year of the reign of former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
