He has been brilliant and will always be welcome at Anfield

But I think a fresh start is needed, the man doesn't want the job.

Lets leave Purslow up to NESV whether they want him or not

If he stays I will respect the decision and give him a second chance

He's not finished the job yet..

Well done Broughton.

I would like him as chairman.

Can't believe this has happened. On my Birthday

I'll wait until I see what the new owners are like before I pass judgment on his tenure

Broughton was brought in to sell the club and has ensured that the club can be sold. Lets not elivate him to legendary status just yet. I'd rather see what this new owner his in store for us before I go crackers over them or lobby the pope to make Broughton a Saint.

Speaking outside the High Court to Sky Sports News, Broughton said: "The board will be properly reconstituted by eight o'clock this evening, that was the judge's order, and proceed with the sale process.

"But the club's going to have a great future. We will re-establish the right basis for the club.

"The acquisition debt that has been plaguing us will be gone, we have a great future. We will get the right owners for the fans."

look at the use of the words "us" and "we". I think he's feeling like he's part of the club.

excellent job selling the club martin - did what you came to do and did it in style.

definitely don't want him staying though - we need strong and intelligent leadership at this club, not someone who'll bow to media pressure and then justify his decisions by media reaction.

new start is needed throughout the club - new owners, new chairman, new CEO, new manager.

This.

Now let us hope that he installs NESV as the owners.*fingers Crossed*

Thanks Martin.

Why not flog your Chelsea season ticket and move to a club with REAL history.............I think we can find a spare at Anfield for you.

Les Willis · « **Reply #60 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:07:16 pm »

I assume he'll go back to his day job as Chairman of British Airways. Fair play to him though, he's done himself proud getting rid of the leeches.

Cpt_Reina · « **Reply #61 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:08:18 pm »

He did his job VERY well as it turns out. Apparently NESV were interested prior to his involvement but he still played a blinder so far as beating the snakes at their own game. i for one am greatful. He can go back to Stamford Bridge with his head held high. And i hope he comes back to Anfield when we play Chelsea next. And leaves feeling very unhappy

Ginamos · « **Reply #62 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:09:10 pm »

Good job done, not quite completed yet.

When he's finished expect he'll go back to his main job, and continue supporting his "beloved" Chelsea. I can see him getting a plum job with the Premier League or the FA when he's ready to leave BA.

As for permanent Chairman of LFC, no thanks, but a big thank you for helping to rid us of H & G.

johnybarnes · « **Reply #63 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:09:12 pm »

He's played a blinder but Liverpool chairman shouldn't be bumping shoulders with Terry&co at Chelsea end of season do's, I'm sure he will move on since his role has been completed.

timiano · « **Reply #65 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:11:00 pm »

Fantastic business professional that has delivered.

The board dropped a bollock on the sporting front however, but the only thing that really mattered was this, so job done. Congratulations!

fizzyp · « **Reply #66 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:11:01 pm »

Thanks for doing the job you were paid to do only time will tell if the club now have the right owners. But i cant see how this would work out long term ps please take purslow when you leave. But thanks for your effort

Jimmy Conway · « **Reply #67 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:11:27 pm »

To be honest, he has bigger fish to fry at a massive PLC in British Airways. More challenges for him I think.

Put this way, I'd get a pint if he was in the pub.

Thank you Mr Broughton. Oh and keep the tie, suits you.

Gulper_Catfish · « **Reply #68 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:11:59 pm »

Seems like he has done a good job, thanks Martin.

all_funkt_up · « **Reply #69 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:12:22 pm »

Oh and according to sources on twitter, Broughton didnt actually approach the new Yanks himself - their interest precedes his tenure.

He's done a neat job in stuffing Hicks and Gilett, I'll give him that.

Lets wait and see the financial detail of the acquisition with our new owners before we anoint Boughton.

t the end of the day it doesn't matter whom you support. What matters is how good and how professional you are in these things. Thankyou, Martin.

bleedsred1978 · « **Reply #72 on:** October 13, 2010, 01:15:13 pm »

Smooth Operator no doubt. We all owe him a great deal for the way he sewn Hicks up like a Kipper.

Fact is though he is done here.

Goodbye and Thanks Martin.

A good man who did a good Job.

I believe businessmen will always put 'doing a good job' miles before supporting a football team. You dont get to the top of your game allowing things like supporting a club to get in your way.

An excellent professional. Took a lot of stick from us thinking he was doing nothing but he kept everything behind closed doors and did a top job with Grabiner.

Just hope he has picked the right owners and did his research in NESV.
