It was always my stated intention to stand down once the sale was completed and I am happy that the club is now in good hands.
This has been one of the most memorable experiences of my working life and I would like to wish Liverpool and its supporters every success for the future.
The last seven months have been a pleasure and a privilege for me to serve this fantastic sporting institution.
Everybody associated with the club can now look forward to an exciting future with the right owners and the club on a secure financial footing.
I am proud to have been your Chairman during this turbulent time and would like to place on record my thanks to all of you, for the support you gave me, Christian Purslow, Ian Ayre and all the staff during this period.
Liverpool FC will always hold a special place in my heart as a result of the relationships I have forged over these past months.
