Liverpool are pleased with Dalglish: chairman

Liverpool: Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has admitted that the board are "enormously pleased" with manager Kenny Dalglish.

The Scot was brought in as a replacement for Roy Hodgson, who was asked to leave following an ill-fated reign that lasted less than a season on Merseyside.

The current boss managed to steady the ship and guided the team to a sixth-placed finish last term, whilst selling Fernando Torres to Chelsea and bringing in Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll during the January transfer window.

He has since conducted a significant amount of business in the summer, bolstering the squad to add a strength in depth that had previously been lacking at Anfield.

"We are enormously pleased that he is our coach, he provides great leadership on the pitch," Werner told Sky Sports News.

"I've been with him when he's talking to employees and when he's talking to supporter groups, and when he talks about Liverpool, this is a man who understands the club's history and our relentlessness when we were winning and hopefully he will bring trophies."

Werner also admitted that a groundsharing with Everton would be a "non-starter" since it would go against the wishes of the supporters.

"There's the possibility of building a new stadium at Stanley Park. The one thing I will say is that there have been rumours that we're interested in the possibility of a share with Everton," he said.

"I won't ever say it is completely [ruled out], but our fans don't want it so I think it's a non-starter."
