Jurgen Klopp: 'Ticket-price U-turn shows Liverpool owners care about fans'

Jurgen Klopp says that the U-turn made by Liverpool's owners on the ticket-price hike has shown that they "really care" about the fans.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that the club's owners "really care" about the supporters after they made a U-turn on their proposed hike in ticket prices.

It was recently announced by the Merseyside club that next season's category A games could cost up to £77 a ticket.

After approximately 10,000 supporters walked out of Anfield during last weekend's 2-2 draw against Sunderland, club owners Fenway Sports Group apologised and froze ticket prices for the next two seasons.

In Friday's press conference, Klopp said: "I think in the world of football it is not too easy when you are the owner of a club to prove you are interested in the club. I know it, I have been here four-and-a-half months and I know the owners as people.

"They really care about the club and the interests of supporters and it was a clear reaction, a clear sign, and hopefully it is understood for what it is - proof of their real interest in this club and all the things around this club. I am really fine with it, it is a good thing."

Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis has called for a £10 cap on away tickets in the Premier League.
