Strange that no CEO has been signed before this fella isnt it?

Where does it say he's only temporary, I dont see it?

I am moe surprised how long it took them to start the CEO search, never mind appoint him, very strange as Coco has been on the way out for what, 6 months at least? I dont think appointing an MD reflects on the CEO situation, what it does mean is that we're introduced another level of bureaucracy.

With a commercial manager, MD and CEO theres no room for those Dumb and Dumber sons of T&T which was of course part of the original plan. Freightened off no doubt. :eyebrow

Liverpool appoint Christian Purslow as their new managing director

Liverpool have appointed Christian Purslow, a financier with strong links to Merseyside, as their new managing director.

By Paul Kelso, Chief Sports Reporter
Published: 10:19AM BST 22 Jun 2009

Purslow, an Anfield season-ticket holder, will join the board and take over many of the responsibilities of outgoing chief executive Rick Parry, but will step aside when a full-time replacement for Parry is appointed.

Purslow's priorities will be to renegotiate the £350m loan with RBS due to be repaid at the end of July and to work with manager Rafa Benitez on summer transfer targets.

Purslow, whose background is in private equity, speaks fluent Spanish and has already struck a relationship with Benitez. He is understood to have played a role in the negotiations surrounding Fernando Torres's new contract.

A friend of club legend Kenny Dalglish, Purslow was recommended to owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett as a potential new board member and has the support of both of them. Crucially this should allow him to bridge the divide that occasionally appears before the American owners.

The new managing director is also said to have decent relations with senior staff at RBS including chief executive Stephen Hester, and club sources said the bank welcomed his appointment.

Talks with RBS will take place imminently, with the owners prospects of satisfying the bank's demands enhanced by Gillett's impending sale of the Montreal Canadiens. With Hicks yet to raise finance from his for sale US assets, it remains to be seen if this affects the delicate equilibrium between the owners.

Thats a must when employing a new managing director at a football club, silly me.
