Damien Comolli believes that Liverpool’s decision to sell Fernando Torres meant that there was a ‘bright new sky’ over Anfield.\n<\/p>\n

The Premier League side accepted a record-breaking \u00a350million fee in January for the now-Chelsea striker and used the funds to make former Newcastle star Andy Carroll the most expensive British footballer in history.<\/p>\n

A deal had already been negotiated for Luis Suarez before Torres left in the winter transfer window, but some of the funds from the sale of the latter will also help in paying Ajax.<\/p>\n

Comolli, who was promoted to a role as Liverpool’s new director of football on Tuesday, believes that the club benefited from the business decision by improving the atmosphere on Merseyside. <\/p>\n

“Getting two players triggered the fact that we could sell one player who didn’t want to be here and get two who did want to be here,” he said.<\/p>\n

Positive<\/h4>\n

“When you have someone who doesn’t want to be here and you swap him for people who want to be here the atmosphere changes.<\/p>\n

“It’s like there is a bright new sky with no cloud over our head from the day that happened. So it’s been only positive.”<\/p>\n

The decision of Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, to appoint Comolli, initially as director of football strategy, last November was a part of the Americans’ rebuilding plan at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner bought a club who were on the brink of administration last autumn, but their plan is to restore the glory days to the 18-time champions of England.<\/p>\n

It is expected that Kenny Dalglish will soon be handed a permanent contract after the Kop idol’s impressive work as manager since succeeding the sacked Roy Hodgson in January, and Comolli feels confident the club are moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Tough decision<\/h5>\n

“I know there is still a lot of work to do, we’re not where we want to be yet and it’ll probably take a few months to do that, but I am totally confident,” he said.<\/p>\n

“All the signs are very positive and I can see only green lights, no red lights.” <\/p>\n

Comolli added: “It was a tough decision (to sack Hodgson) made by the club, but we have been looking forward since that and making other appointments with key individuals as we look to restructure the club.<\/p>\n

“We are definitely looking forward to a bright future.”<\/p>\n

Comolli’s role has been extended to oversee all football-related matters outside of first-team training and selection.<\/p>\n

He said: “It’s basically a day-to-day relationship with the manager and his coaching staff, it’s also medical and sports science, performance analysis, player liaison, team travel, scouting and negotiating transfer contracts. A big part of it is the Academy.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
