Will Purslow keep his job under the new regime?

[derrickt]

I dont really care whatever politic between those two. Each side alway have their own story. I think we should focus on getting the right man for the RIGHT JOB & not because he is a red and he should stay

[derrickt]

If im reading that quote from Rafa correctly i think he is saying Purslow had the say on everything, from fitness staff appointed all the way to the players signed.

 

The BIG question is, is Purslow qualify??

[ngogswilly]

I honestly couldn't give a toss if Purslow stays or gos, all I want is for him to have nothing to do with appointing the next manager.

 

Purslow would probably appoint Ali Dia as manager if the media told him to.

[derrickt]

If what Rafa say is true regarding new manager, Purslow recommend and support Roy appointment based on what? Or is it Broughton?

I think that's what hes saying. And I don't believe him.

[VladimirIlyich]

I think Purslow might have had a say in the salaries of Rafa's staff but i dont believe he had a say in who Rafa employed.

 

Thats what i'd guess Purslow's role should be.

 

Rafa fell out with both Valencia and Parry in similar ways so the Purslow situation just continued a trend of his.

[derrickt]

I think that's what hes saying. And I don't believe him.

 

There's quite a no. of changes last season, if you dont believe it's purslow, so you thinking is Rafa? Or anyone in the club capable of making that decision?

[WaltonRed]

That Joe fella will be Chairman

 

I think they'll get a new CEO.

 

Rafa should just shut up.

[Carra_is_legend]

I think that's what hes saying. And I don't believe him.

 

I don't believe him either - not even for 1 second.

 

Take Aquilani for example - Rafa bought him - NO ONE else. It was clearly evident as he thought he was a £30m player who we got for a cheap price.

 

We haven't bought anyone as expensive since to lay the blame at Purslow's door.

 

If Purslow had a say in buying players I bet it was about young players with potential - possibly based on Kenny's advice.

Purslow's job was to dig us out of the financial mess we were in. He did it and deserves nothing but lifelong gratitude for the way it all came together in the end.

He didn't get the job because of his football genius, we've turned to shite on his watch. You can blame his bosses for a lot of it but as a football administrator he has been appalling. Better to part ways now while he has the goodwill than hang around and damage his reputation.

Exactly pointless Rafa mouthing off, I'm sure the Inter fans were happy about the rant

[Guest LFD]

Udder nonsense.

[redsfan]

I think when it boils down to it, is that Rafa wants to still be our manager and wishes he was still here even though he has a brilliant job at Inter. Think it was right time rafa went but i do kind of feel sorry for him a bit.

 

My money is on Purslow staying on as CEO.

[goatboy59]

"John the Milkman" made me laugh, Goatboy is going to have a field day with that. Petty.

 

I really think that embellishment is futile here, don't you!

 

Petty.

 

You sir have this understatement lark sussed.

Thank him for helping to sell the club, but Purslow should have kept out of team affairs.

 

He can be blamed for Hodgson, and the position we are in the league as a result.

He wanted to be our manager so desperatley that he negotiated with Juventus as a way of saying: "I'll go, ya know. Honestly I will."

 

Bluff called. Lllllllaters.

[TheResonator]

He shouldn't keep his job. He isn't qualified to fulfil his remit in my opinion, as shown by this summer's transfer dealings when the manager took a back-seat. Fair play to him for supporting the sale of the club but he shouldn't be allowed to play champ manager with it.

[WaltonRed]

Ted's spot on

 

Rafa was/is no angel.

 

Just stick to coaching your team and player Rafa

[Ted]

Tough. He's keeping his job.

[me1]

Purslow should go. He's involved himself way too personally in some bad stuff - orchestrating the whispering campaign against Rafa, he was instrumental in sacking him, caving in to player power, giving Hodgson the job.

Nah - he is not the right man for the job. At all.

[goatboy59]

I wonder if John The Milkman is the reason Montse stayed home?

Very true just think there is an element of what could have been when Benitez talks (bitterly or not) about us.

[Antynwa]

What a dickhead

 

Rafa I mean

[Menc]

I’m hopeful that Purslow will go now that he’s helped ensured a change of ownership, though I don’t think he will. His record in football matters is not very good. I’d not have a problem with him staying on in a purely business role whilst somebody else came in to take care of the appointment of managers, negotiations for players etc, but I can’t imagine that he’d be able to stop himself from getting involved.

 

Purslow v Benitez is an irrelevance now, the important thing is that we clean up the mess made by appointing Hodgson.

[me1]

Rafa has every right to say whatever.

Problem is that those who wanted him gone so badly only have more of the same tired old insults to throw around 'cos it's far better than looking at the current manager's monumental incompetence.
