'We have to absolutely protect that because it's at the core of what we are, and we have a responsibility to our customers to project the correct image,' he told the Liverpool Echo.
'We have talked about trying to monitor those photographers, so if we see any element clearly looking for a negative shot and we can identify that, we will take their accreditation off them and we'll kick them off the site.
'That's not easily manageable, but that's what we'll endeavour to do.'

Ladies' Day, a firm fixture on the North West social calendar, frequented by celebrity WAGs such as Colleen Rooney and Alex Curran.
Tens of thousands of racegoers attend each year and the Grand National is seen as the world's most famous horse race, generating TV viewing figures in the hundreds of millions from across the globe.
But recently, Ladies' Day has reportedly failed to sell out with suggestions regular race-goers have been put off by media coverage of some women taking advantage of the 'lax' dress code, banned at other racecourses.
Aintree, which runs a style contest for the best-dressed ladies on the day, will also now issue their own images on their website, Facebook and Twitter to counter other outlets who may want to put a 'negative slant' on the meeting.
