George Gillett insists he and fellow owner Tom Hicks will give their full backing to Rafa Benitez's summer spending plans.
Benitez revealed his intention for an overhaul during the aftermath of Wednesday night's Champions League final defeat to AC Milan.
Gillett said: "If Rafa said he wanted to buy 'Snoogy Doogy' we would back him. Rafa's feeling is we need more depth because of the rigours of the schedule to be competitive.
"In every sport I participate in there is a difference between a league season and the play-offs. That's where the genius of the manager is so essential and that's where Tom and I have to defer to his background and genius."
Benitez's plan for a summer shake-up has also been welcomed by club skipper Steven Gerrard.
He said: "We need to strengthen and bring some quality into the club. It will be an interesting summer." (liverpoolfc.tv)
