Christian Purslow - Resigned

[Hookeysmith]

So what did he have to say?

[eamonn]

The silence is deafening. Nature/Talksport abhors a vacuum/There's no air like dead air etc. We demand to be told !(unless it's Tom Fox and his fake news progenitor, the false narrative).

[paul_e]

All I've seen is that he confirmed we're losing about £1m for every home game without fans.

So what did he have to say?

Running a football club Hookey, is very much like making love to a beautiful woman.

[wozwebs]

Whilst I think he has been excellent since he has been here, when he was appointed there were a few Liverpool fans saying to be warned.

I hope this, from todays Popbitch, has nothing to do with him. There were rumours Southampton only wanted £15m for Ings.

With all the drama of transfer day, it can be hard to keep track of all the latest figures and deals flying around. One particular exec at a big club was clearly hoping to use this commotion to their advantage, but people have started to notice a curious eight-figure discrepancy bubbling up on the books.

At least three unlikely summer transfers are now under the microscope, including one in which the club ended up paying £20m more for a player than the selling club asked for  – and it's not immediately clear where the remaining balance might have ended up.

As there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory answer forthcoming, we're told we can expect a big resignation (or "mutually agreed departure") to take place before too long.

[Risso]

Sounds like absolute nonsense. As if it would be hard to trace a payment of that size.

[Villan82]

There is not one shred of evidence presented for that allegation

[Hookeysmith]

I'm sure purslow has enough salary to not have to put his hand in the till

[Demitri_C]

Nonsense rumours with zero evidence

[paul_e]

I'm sure purslow has enough salary to not have to put his hand in the till

He also ha a percentage share in the ownership of the club.

[Ad@m]

I wouldn't be so sure to dismiss this guys, it's in PopBitch after all...

You need to be very, very careful posting hypotheses like that.

I dont think this is likely full stop - certainly not with any properly ran business type club.  If its been spotted in 2 days of the deadline - they have clearly done a really bad job of it.

These are businesses, and not saying this stuff doesnt happen, but most of the big clubs will have a set up that means this couldnt happen.   There is normally a divide between owners / shareholders and the management.

I run a tiny business - and maybe some of the staff could nick the pens  - but even we have things in place to prevent this

Do you run a tiny bank?
