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.

Body language wasn’t right.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.

How do make that out?
His staff wont have been on £10m a year... and Gerrard wont have been on £8m+ a year. You've just made up some numbers.
