Tom Werner = Chairman, he's looking after NESV's investment, making sure that it runs efficiently and profitably.

MD (Ayres) actually runs the business as a seperate entity, ie he works for LFC and NESV doesn't matter to him.

Fucked if I know how a CEO would fit in.

 

I don't understand people whinging about this. They didn't fanny about, they took their time and made sure they got it right. Ayres came out of the H&G fiasco with his reputation greatly enhanced, no mean feat. I think it's good to see that NESV have confidence in him to run the show and I expect him to do well.

 

 

Really? Who then made the decision to charge the fan £50 more for getting their ST from the window.

That doesn't get a fraction of the publicity the Standard Chartered deal does though. I don't know enough about his job to quantify his successes/fuck ups but as I said, his reputation is good.

Mike Jefferies reckons they couldn't get the guy they wanted and Ayre is in on a trial.

 

Just who the fuck is this mike jefferies?

 

Is he the one feeding brazil the line FSG only 'bought the club because it was cheap and can move it on soon for a big profit'?

 

Fucking does my head in these ne'er do wells.

thoroughly underwhelmed by all this - major double announcement my hole!

 

they fanny around for 6 months, then appoint a man who has been here the whole time (after being rejected by their preferred target) and change the job title of the other

 

now please, can we get some stadium and kenny news please or will we have to wait another 6 months for that?

 

yes i'm an impatient fcukwit, I know that but my complaints are valid

 

How do you know they were rejected, if your answer is in anyway connected to Mike Jefferies then forget about it.

Hopefully the Dalglish and Clarke deals are announced soon, the stadium is gona be redeveloped

The explanation is already up there. Ayres is the MD - with the same responsibilities as a CEO except it looks like Comolli will have the responsibility for the money and contract side of signing players. Presumably FSG are happy with what Ayres is doing but in Comolli they have someone they clearly trust and like regarding players.

The key question in all this - how does it affect Kenny? IMO he needs a strong voice in who we buy as well as who plays where.

Apart from a £50 fuck up I've yet to hear a bad word about Ayers.

 

As was mentioned earlier, (apologies I can't remember who said it) he was brought in under C&A and managed to fulfill his role whilst doing the best he could comercially (pissing fans off) in a fucking mad house.

 

The fact he came out of that spell with his reutation 'relatively' in tact with both fans and the new owners is impressive in my book.

 

I couldn't give a shit if he wasn't first choice as long as he does the best job.

Thousands of LOCAL PAYING FANS would disgree with that, some would call him a ****, knowing hes a local, knowing how hard the cash flows in this city.

Thousands of local fans got ripped off. Who is arguing about that?

 

The guy had an almost impossible task.

 

"Rob your fans blind but don't piss them off to the point they won't spend any more on us".

 

It's a shitty position when you have no leverage on how you generate income.

 

If in 5 years Ayers decides the corporates need a discount because of the recession and ups match day tickets he'll rightly get slaughterd.

 

Until then I have no problem with his move upstairs.
