Christian Purslow - Resigned

[Duncan Shaw]

I hope he's really boring and we never have to talk much about him again, which will mean he's quietly and effectively doing a good job!!

Good point, lets hope he is a success. Welcome Sir

[mr underhill]

anyone with commercial acumen is fine by me.

[Risso]

He went to the same school as me, albeit several years before. Can only be a good sign... 😱

Glad to see the new owners can appoint people in their right positions. Now for a new manager please. UTV

A Borstalian? Perish the thought.

Sounds very promising - certainly a step in the right direction. Who will he/they appoint to oversee the football side of things?

That's what I was thinking, will they appoint a DOF now?

[Drummond]

In the private equity businesses I've worked in having people at the top with shares has been seen as a prudent move to ensure continued interest.

He has good pedigree at Liverpool and Chelsea for commercial deals and seems pretty ruthless, see Benitez for that sort of detail.

Interesting snippets in this article and not listened to the podcast it trails yet but will find time later.

Let's hope he can pay the tax bills!

If we put in a another poor performance this weekend we'll find out soon enough.

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

I think we got excited because we thought we had enticed a big cheese from Arsenal. Only to find out that in reality he was the assistant manager of the club shop and helped out replacing the divots on the pitch with a garden fork at half time.

Says minority investor so skin in the game too?!?

The massive pessimist in me says this could make it tougher to get rid of him if he's shit!

[CJ]

I'm really encouraged since the arrival of Sawiris and Edens. Looks like we've got proper businessmen who mean business in charge of the club. Maybe light at the end of the tunnel and for a change it's not a train coming in the opposite direction

Peter Hooton (lead singer of The Farm and Liverpool fan) tweeted this in reply to the news we have got him:

“Oh dear - when will he start giving team talks”

So I said should we be worried and he replied;

“our committee @spiritofshankly met him & he was totally disingenuous. If he sticks to finance fine but he starts getting involved in football matters - he replaced Benitez with Hodgson & declared it the best deal of his life”
