Christian Purslow - Resigned

[john e]

I hear on the rumour mill that a woman CEO has been given serious consideration.  I have not been told who but my informant commutes between London, Paris and Milan.

Karen ?

Dan Roan (BBC) is saying that Purslow could even be announced this morning.  As others have said, he seems to have a great record commercially, but not so much on the football side. Hopefully A Director of Football will be brought in to work alongside him.

Well, that escalated quickly (as the kids say); Purslow has just been announced.

Interesting....has a more vested interest in seeing us be successful. Also applies that little bit more pressure on our Stevie B.

Great details and deals emerging from his Liverpool days but some very notable ones from his Chelsea days inc Nike, yokohoma, carabao

I reckon it’s another way of tony selling another small bit of his stake as well

Liverpool season ticket holder opposite me at work seems to think he did a decent job. Stopped them going under.

Seems to me he’s got a decent track record of negotiating commercial deals. Suspect he’s been brought in with, among other things, a remit to grow the global brand and commercial power of the club

He's got a lot to make up for then.

Welcome Christian.

Great appointment.

Pleased with this one although I recall being delighted we managed to get Tom Fox from Arsenal and look how that turned out!
