We currently have no DoF, CEO, MD, club doctor or Manager.

Who is actually interviewing these managerial candidates?

So, what's Ian Ayre doing exactly?!

7Dalglish · « **Reply #4 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:02:44 AM »

Surprised how many times I've read that we don't have a CEO. Managing Director is the same as CEO and we do have one anyway, Ian Ayre. You may have seen him talking shite on the telly recently.

Discipline · « **Reply #5 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:03:11 AM »

NESV with Ayre as the right hand man, no?

benn25 · « **Reply #6 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:03:50 AM »

I would presume its Ayre and his chief advisor at the moment until the list gets cut down to 3. They would of been given a criteria im presuming to feel them out. Then I presume the 3 will go infront of the owners and Ayre for the final showdown. But who knows.

I thought Ayre was still in his role?

Malaysian Kopite · « **Reply #7 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:03:55 AM »

Ayre,Barwick and possibly Rafa.

Was David Dein being mentioned earlier in the week just totally bollocks?

IndianaRed · « **Reply #9 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:06:26 AM »

they are taking advice from david dein, so i've heard/read

rushie9 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:09:20 AM »

books, video, dvd, youtube, newspaper, fan forum, other fan forum, bible, women, fortune tell, betting sheet... that's all what they rely on now ..

David Dein?

benn25 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:12:58 AM »

I doubt David Dein is conducting the interviews. If he is then FSG really have lost the plot. Can't see it personally though.

Didi_ram · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:13:44 AM »

Tomkins to some extent?

harleydanger · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:18:51 AM »

Segura?

Even then....and that's best case scenario

David Dein according I read in the press off late. But if it is in relation to sacking the manager and looking for a new one?

As long as it is not Jürgen Klinsmann!

They wanted/tried to contact Cruyff... maybe they pay a famous ex-player/manager for advise....

isildurrr · « **Reply #17 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:25:57 AM »

I think some positions in the structure they want are already filled.those people probably...

KirkVanHouten · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:26:42 AM »

Ayre reckons they're speaking to the 'pre-eminent people in football'. Maybe they're getting advised by the FA.

Discipline · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:49:40 AM »

This'll probably sound stupid, but they should ask Kenny on what to do. He knows more about the club than anyone else.

He's into the commercial side of the club. Why would they seek his advice about a new manager? His role is to expand our commercial revenue. Also he is a red through and through. Also a scouser. I have more faith in him then FSG.

Because there's no-one else left at the club maybe, short of consulting the more junior staff? It must be external advice for this reason.

He is Managing Director so he isn't just commercial stuff, and hasn't been for ages now.

His role isn't the commercial side of the club though he is like an acting CEO.

What just cause he is a scouser means he can't be a snake.

Come on...

Ian Ayre - “It doesn’t matter how many cups you win,” Ayre said. “Ultimately you’ll fail, because if you don’t have that sustainable revenue stream that comes from playing at the highest level it will be more and more difficult to compete.”

Essentially the CL is the root to all evil. Like money and marmite.

Danny_ · « **Reply #33 on:** May 18, 2012, 08:18:00 AM »

My attitude is who cares at this stage - maybe, Martinez is being used as a smokescreen (like we all thought about Roy initially) and they really have someone else in mind and want us to go - "Fuck no!" first and then be pleasantly surprised (a tactic to dampen the blow of losing Kenny) or maybe, they really are that stupid. If Ayre is the person choosing the new manager, you have to feel sorry for him. I wouldn't want to be in that position and I don't see how he is qualified to make the decision from a footballing point of view. They might as well hand the decision over to one of the fans.

Baz Smythe · « **Reply #34 on:** May 18, 2012, 08:19:04 AM »

David Dein and Pep Segura will be advising. Actually I'm very happy they are conducting interviews, nothing bugs me more in football than already deciding who the coach/manager is going to be without finding out what his philosophies are, his goals, how he would go about it etc.

For the first time since We heard about meetings in Boston I actually feel like FSG really do want to win.

Read that 12man and tell me it's not Ayre.

He is not even acting, he is MD which is basically CEO.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #37 on:** May 18, 2012, 08:22:22 AM »

I've always thought Ayre has more influence. Hence the reason I can't see Rafa returning.

IF we are getting ANY external advice, are they being paid for it and what is there to suggest they have Liverpool's best interests at heart or are qualified to do so?

Danny_ · « **Reply #38 on:** May 18, 2012, 08:25:41 AM »

I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually miss Parry and Moores. I'd prefer if the club was back in their hands, even if it was a slow decline we were on. We can take comfort from the fact that Parry (a money man) actually made a great decision about who to hire the last time. Maybe, it will be the same with Ayre.

That's what I thought - he is the CEO at the club now.

Every CEO has a voice in any business(and that clearly what Liverpool is now) and a very loud voice at that.

12th man needs to thing again.
