CEO

"Judge Jules:
You don't know that, and I highly doubt it's that simple. If he weren't under contract he'd at least have spoken to a club like LFC."

Didn't he have an interview during the summer?

I think you're missing the point, no manager is bound to any club by a contract, after all why would you keep a manager who has expressed a desire to leave.

Look at Rangnick, player sold behind his back and he walked from the club same day, without having to serve a notice period.

I highly doubt any manager has a notice period in their contracts and if LFC approached someone who was interested they could start as soon as wages etc were agreed.

Unlike any senior executive in regular professions who will have notice periods to see out
 
I don't think it got as far as an actual interview with Deschamps. AFAIK we approached Marseille and may have contacted the man himself but that's far as it went.

Of course a manager is bound by a contract. He may not have much compunction about breaking it, but if he does he's liable in damages, though it'll almost certainly be part of his deal with his new club that they pay those for him. In the same way the club is liable to the manager if they end his contract early.

I don't share your doubt about the likelihood of a notice period being in a contract. On the contrary, I can't envisage either party being prepared to allow the other to walk away without notice scot-free.
 
Did spiderneil just recommend Kenny Dalglish as CEO?

That's possibly the most retarded thing I've ever read

I'm pretty confident the owners are doing an awful lot behind the scenes to get the right person in place. I've got no concerns about them and am quite happy they're not conducting their business in the open just to feed the appetite of fans hungry for news. We lambasted Hicks and Gillett for airing their dirty linen in public, now the new owners are just as bad for doing the opposite.

I'd be surprised if they were already working to get the right man - until Wolves and Blackburn, it seemed they had no contingency plans in place to replace Roy in the interim. I really do believe you should take your time, but they came in and then vanished for three months. AWOL. It was about 6 weeks too long. They have to act with more urgency - not rushing, but urgency for a CEO, a manager and an interim solution (which we have).

I hope they've learned their lessons and will be more engaged.

I think that if they just had been more present at Anfield in a difficult period it had signaled hands on approach.

Of course they are.

From what I've read online in the last few weeks, the names that keep reocuring is Ayre, Paul Deighton and Dein.

Honestly mate, I rate you as a poster but this is moonshine. After the demise of H and G everyone should have learned the lesson that major changes of this kind just aren't played out in public until the management are ready to make their move. Subtracting 6 weeks from three months leaves about 7 weeks, and I'd call that rushing even if you wouldn't. It's precisely that kind of approach which got Roy his job to start with.

This may seem a dumb question, but what exactly does a CEO of a football club actually do? As opposed to a chairman, for instance?

the idea is a non starter but I would like to know what the job of a liverpool CEO actually entails and if it is possible to do the job without previous experience.

Peter Lawell is mentioned on YNWA today. Anyone know anything about him?


[/quote]

He was linked with Arsenal a couple of years ago too.

Lawwell is considered a tough transfer negotiator at Celtic and has excellent contacts in European football - not least at Uefa, where his fellow Scot, David Taylor, is general secretary. Having substantially lifted Celtic's turnover during his spell at Parkhead, his CV appears well suited to Arsenal. His background is as an accountant and finance director, having had a spell in the property-development business on the Clydeport authority, fitting in with many of the core skills Arsenal require of their new broom.

Celtic's chief executive Peter Lawwell has explained that his emotional attachment to the club prevented him from taking the same role at Arsenal.

Lawwell was courted by the Arsenal board last month and is understood to have been provisionally offered the position, which carries a salary of £1m per year. Yet the 49-year-old, who has had two spells at Celtic after initially joining as the financial controller in 1990, said yesterday that he has plenty still to achieve in Glasgow.

"There was a lot to take into account but staying with Celtic was what I wanted to do," Lawwell said. "It was a major decision but this is my club. This is more than a club. Arsenal are a fantastic club with a fantastic owner, but if I went there it would just be a job. What I have here is more than that."
 
Seeing as FSG handed responsibility to Spencer Stewart for finding the CEO I highly doubt anyone outside of SS and the LFC executive team have any idea who is on the shortlist.

Its the job of Spencer Stewart to identify candidates and sell the job to them, based on the brief provided by NESV.

Likelihood is Henry/Warner will then interview the candidates and make their decision.

Executive Search at this level is a highly confidential process so any names being banded about are pure speculation.
 
Our CEO is going to be running the club, because our 'Chairman' is a sit-com producer.
 
In short the CEO has overall responsibility for every part of the business, other senior directors such as the FD, HR, Commercial etc will report into him and he is accountable to the board.

In a football club the CEO will be involved in approving money for transfers, negotiations for transfers etc

The twat who made up shite years ago about Liverpool and Utd supporters running pitched battles in the streets in order to smear the English game?

No thanks.

I do. It was about 4 years ago and he made up some absolute bollocks about Liverpool and Utd fans murdering each other. I'm trying to find the article without much luck.

Thanks JJ, seriously, I just feel there's been a needless sense of drift. They let Roy drift on for too long. They wrote off this season, and they didn't have to. No CL footy till Aug 2012 if we're lucky. Malaise has set in, players are alienated, decline perceived. If they had of communicated on a regular basis a little here and there, at least people would have felt the ship had a captain. It seems like they just bought it for a bargain and have no urgency...I fear they do not realize we are counting on them to be solid stewards..

But I could be just "knee jerk!"
