Can you shed any light on why the previous regime sacked our most successful manager in the last 20 years?

My question would be: When you took over the club you said you were winners, With that in mind what expectations do you have of where the club should be as two seasons back we finished second in the league and what do you make of Roy's expectations as he seems happy with mid table in his interviews. This is LFC and mid table for this club is unacceptable!

Please do not censor your questions. Let NESV do the sensoring. Hence questions about Roy are legitimate. Please represent some of us who cannot participate in such discussions with dignity and fairness [to the owners considering that they have only been in town for exactly 2 months].
 
Currently, all top teams are misfiring and we were badly misfiring last season and I don't believe that if regime change was never effected we would be misfiring again. I do not think so. Now we cannot take advantage of this bad cancer which is affecting all and sundry and we are also badly affected because of stupid mistakes by Purslow and co.
The weakest link in the team is our main man BR.

1) whats their views on why the ground hasn't sold out since they took over?

2) when are they going to replace roy with an exciting up and coming prospect

3) As they are so into stats they will realise that most of the media's Rafa bashing has no substance and the clubs poor performance is down to the current set up.

4) Can we expect to LFC tv to show live games and sell their own rights?

5) To CONFIRM when are you sacking Roy?

The team manager has recently been quoted as saying:

“For a team that wants to be in the top half of the table, our away form is not good enough.”

Is the embracing and acceptance of mid-table mediocrity by the manager shared by the board of Liverpool Football Club?

Thanks.
thats the question I wanted to ask when I posted earlier , but I didn't put as well as that. I really would love an answer to that.

My Question:

"Why don´t we go for a world class manager as a short term solution first as we are a club with world class goals?"
One thing does need to be said: in the post-Benitez era, there was media-led clamour (but also some politicking going on at the club) to make the club more English; the idea being that the club had lost the very essence of what it means to be ‘Liverpool’. Guillem Ballague 18/11/10

I would ask them whether they plan on investing on us on the same kind of scale as the red sox. Doubt it would get an honest answer...

Scale will be the same it all depends on our income however

Why is Christian Purslow still involved in the club?  What is his role?

How bad do things have to get before you decide to remove Hodgson from his position?

1) When you say you intend to invest in the top young talent do you mean to get players who should be good enough to fight for a first team place straight away e.g. Eden Hazard, or are you thinking more along the lines of getting players under 20yrs old for example and then training them in the reserves?

2) We've suffered from serious lack of depth in our squad for the last three seasons (hence why the league position is getting worse (along with the change in manager imo) are you planning on finally investing into the squad to make us more competitive over a season?

3) I've alot of respect for how you've been doing things behind closed doors since you arrived, especially after the dark years under Hicks and Gillett where all things LFC have been displayed in the public arena giving the media a feeding frenzy and as you will  seen how happy the British media are to twist, reword and basically edit interview's players, staff and owners at the club have said will you be intending to do regular question and answer sessions with the fans through the club tv channel, as a means of keeping the fans informed of what's happening with the club?

4) We've already been informed of the plans to take the club back to asia for the pre-season to make the most of the marketing opportunties there. As other premier league clubs are trying to establish a foothold in the United States and possibly try and capture the market there, Do you think that you'd like to take the club to states in the future as you already know and understand the American market?

Can you categorically state, live on air and infront of witnesses, that you absolutely hate that jumping little fuckstump Martin O'Neill?

This would stop me from having the nightmares I've been experiencing, and allow me to fully concentrate my mind on the possibility of you sacking the worst manager I've ever seen.

Thanks. Much love.
I trust the King, but if we lose a few more on the trot now - he may have to step aside, and we have to purchase another manager in the middle of the season. If we are relegated, this could be the end of our ambitions to win any title the next 100 years.

I really hope they allow questions about the managerial position as I think this is currently top of the fans agenda, but I have a feeling we might not even get one question on this matter put forward.

I think we will hear about stadium plans, team plans, youth academe and CEO search etc

Do you understand how much this club means to the fans yet, in the sense we see LFC as a family member? If so how can you sit back and not say a word whilst it's being wripped apart by the last remaining soldiers of Hicks + Gillett's army? (Purslow and Hodgson)

At the minute the stagnant state of the club is making the rebuilding process more difficult with each day and poor result/performance that passes, when are we going to see the changes being rung around the club, which will benefit us in the long run?

Both are probably abit strong, but hey ho!!!

When NESV took over the club there was a lot of noise about you coming here to win. If that is the case, why do you have a manager in-charge who has never won a major league competition in his life, has a frankly dreadful away record and lets face it, is no spring chicken ?

What are your expectations and ambitions for this season? do they even have any or is this season being treated as a write off?

If they can address the above, the fans will know on what basis to judge Roy. At the moment there's no clarity in what we're looking to achieve. Just lots of uncertainty.

They will be well aware of the number of questions regarding the manager and the depth of feeling on the matter.  They will field a question about it and answer it with an elegantly straight batted forward defensive backing the manager.  They will do this whether they intend to let Roy see out the season or whether they intend to sack him should he fail to beat Fulham.

That is the way it should be.  They appear, in their dealings so far, to be pretty straightforward in their answers to questions, I suggest that if you want to get an interesting response you come up with a question which addresses something that they are able to answer.
