I may be reading too much into this but is he sort of taking a shot at Liverpool. By saying he hopes he will receive support is he subtly saying that he feels Liverpool didn't give him enough support. "Clubs which allow you to do the job properly and embrace your philosophies are very important. I believe West Brom are that sort of club," he said. Again saying Liverpool weren't that kind of club. I may just be making up conspiracy theories but meh good luck to him
