Liverpool chief exec Peter Moore says staying away from the club's transfer plans is the best approach.

Moore leaves the market to the club's football department.

The modern game of football still has C.E.O.s running football clubs and also doing the transfer business and negotiating with agents," Moore told the New York Times.

That's not how I believe a modern club should work.

I don't know nor do I need to know who we are looking at," he added on being out of the loop on potential transfers.

I need to know whether we're going to get the next sponsorship deal that we're looking for. I need to know whether our relationship with Liverpool City Council is on a good footing so we continue to build the commercial elements of things.

I need to know whether our community teams are taking care of the people of Liverpool. I need to know whether our legal, H.R., comms teams are doing well. I run the business."
