Both the DoF and Purslow should report in to Naseef and Wes who set the overall goals and budgets.

That is what happens.

Difficult to see who else they could report to.

The previous guy reported to Purslow. The owners made a point (I think) that Lange was their responsibility.

Interesting the initial appointment stuff was all about Naz.
My guess is he has had his wings clipped again and will be focused on more non playing matters, commercial deals, ground redevelopment doing funny voices.

Might be just me but he didn’t look comfortable at the Press Conference yesterday.  Body language wasn’t right.

I think it was Tom Ross who asked him directly (paraphrasing - " are you under pressure to make the right decision ") ,which he didn't really answer. Quite a bold question from Mr Ross , as these press conferences , especially pre-match ones are so sanitised with safe questions they are generally a waste of time.

Said similar earlier on. He also fluffed his lines at one point. Looked like he was sporting a slightly forced smile.

The forced smile stuff is exactly what i thought. It seems he’s banked his rep on Gerrard and its now be taken out of his hands. I think he had very little to do with this appointment. It will be interesting how the dynamics work as presumably Emery will have to report to Purslow and Lange but he clearly has the support of Sawiris so kind of undermines them a bit. Hopefully they just leave him to get on with it and support him in the transfer market.

Did someone say on here that they had heard, or read somewhere, that Purslow had to work hard to convince Sawiris that Gerrard was the right appointment in the first place?

Or did I just imagine that.

Actually, it might have been John Percy who wrote it. Which means, basically, it is true.
