Liverpool FC Co-Chairmen, George Gillett and Tom Hicks, today announced the appointment of Christian Purslow as Managing Director of the Club. Christian Purslow will assume overall management of the Club until the appointment of a new Chief Executive, and will then continue as a Board Director. As Managing Director, Purslow will represent the owners and oversee all financial and operational aspects of the Club, working with Rafa Benitez on player transfers and with the Club's Group Chief Financial Officer, Philip Nash and Commercial Director, Ian Ayre on Club and commercial management.
Thats from liverpools official site, this bit stands out 'Christian Purslow will assume overall management of the Club until the appointment of a new Chief Executive' Why dont they just employ a new one straigt away? are they waiting for someone to take over then they employ there own?
