Chairman. CEO. Whatever. Werner is the main man and spends all his time in America looking after us and the Red Sox. I don't think that's a good arrangement. Ayre is fantastic on the commercial side of things but I doubt his ability to perform his current role.

Ok so you don't know the difference.

The CEO is the MD - which is Ayre. The MD's role is effectively to oversee the running of the club.

Werner is the Chairman of the Board of Directors to which the MD (Ayre) reports to.

Chairmen generally don't get involved in the running of the club on a day-to-day basis.

So SoS are either very subtly calling for Ayre to be sacked and replaced with someone better or they're talking self-serving nonsense.
 
They don't like Ayre, so they want him sacked. It'd fair enough I think most fans think he ain't ceo material, though I'd prefer him back to commercial operations.
 
They should also stop speaking like that token asshole who keeps popping up during AGMs and sends sanctimonious letters to all the shareholders.

What do they mean it's "imperative" that Liverpool FC do this or that?
Liverpool FC does what it damn well wants.
 
So it's a problem with the current MD who is based in Liverpool and any mention of CEO's being based elsewhere is inaccurate at best or a blatant lie.

In reality it some half assed attempt to provoke some sort of outrage at "foreign ownership" via the old "absent owners" line. So it's agenda driven and not necessarily in the best interests of the club.

Peterhague is correct. A lot of you are dismissing what they say based on past prejudices. Yes, SOS have made mistakes in the past (who doesn't?) but what they ask for, a Liverpool based CEO makes perfect sense. They also don't profess to be the voice of all Liverpool supporters, they act as a voice for their members.

The owners have made mistakes in the past. Didn't stop you from dissing them based on past prejudices.

Errr, did any of you lot automatically slagging them off actually *read* what they're saying? They think most of our problems could be solved by appointing a suitable Cheif Exec to act in the owners' absence. I completely agree with them. I bet most of you would too if you didn't prefer to first try and make yourselves look clever and dashingly cynical by slating them.

I read all of it. It's not the idea that I object to, it's the self-importance with which they demand it. It's as if they're majority shareholders in the club or something. They're not, thank fuck.
