"I know they'll be happy that I'm a Scouser and a Liverpudlian, I know that'll mean a lot to them. But I also know that..... I know what's important and I know I've got to hit the ground running and that's what I'll be intending to do. It means everything to me, but I do believe I can help push this club forward as well."
