Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has praised the clubs decision to back down over the issue of increased ticket prices next season. The clubs owners, Fenway Sports Group, released a statement on Thursday revealing a turnaround in their decision to raise some ticket prices to £77 next season.Instead, prices will now be frozen for the next two years, with the most expensive remaining at £59. The statement, which was signed by owners John W. Henry, Tom Werner and Mike Gordon, also included an apology for the upheaval that caused many fans to walk out of Anfield in the 77th minute of the 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Saturday. Liverpool fans protested against high ticket prices during the FA Cup Fourth Round replay against West Ham Klopp hopes the release of the statement will now defuse tensions between supporters groups and the clubs boardroom. I think that in the world of football its not too easy to be the owner of a club and to prove that you are really interested in the club, said Klopp, speaking at a press conference ahead of Liverpools Premier League trip to Aston Villa on Sunday. Klopp: Their reaction was a clear reaction, it was a sign and hopefully its proof of their real interest in this club I know it, Ive been here for four and a half months and I know our owners as people. They really care about the club and the interests of the supporters and things like that.The reaction was a clear reaction and a clear sign. Hopefully its understood as proof of their real interest in this club and all the things around the club. Im really fine with it and I think its a good thing.
