"I've no wish to get involved in the politics or financial situation at the club," said the Liverpool skipper. "But I can speak on behalf of the players about how we feel about David Moores.
"It upsets me to hear the chairman getting batterd like this - he doesn't deserve it.
"He is 100% committed to Liverpool, he's always given us full support and I think he should get a lot more credit for what he's done.
"He's brought a brilliant new manager here and although we've not won the title recently we've still enjoyed a lot of success and won a lot of trophies.
"He was definitely one of the main reasons I stayed at Liverpool. When I was having problems during the summer it was the chairman who was ringing me up all the time, reassuring me and doing everything possible to keep me here.
