    I wish him the best of luck for the future and we move on. We've had worse CEO's and much, much better. Let's hope the next one is one of the latter.

    The final sentence is telling for me. It’s in our interest to get a replacement in asap.

    I’m surprised he’s not started his own thread

    Think it suits all partys for him to move on the new makeup of the board will want their own man/woman.

    100 year lease on the ground and owners uphold the repairs and upgrades is what I've been told

    He did some things ok. Getting Duff in was one. Secured some good contracts with certain players.
    Shocking communications at times. Hex had to be within his purview and was a complete embarrassment. Why he couldn't read the room about the idiots who would instantly disparage the big news thing instead of keeping his counsel is beyond me.
    No tears shed from me at his departure.

    Useless mouthpiece apparently a minister without portfolio. Should go now.

    Final statement in the release from Minnesota is "Khaled is married to Fenik Saleh and they have two daughters, Ella and Livia. He will join the club in the coming months".

    Sooner rather than later I assume.

    Great news. By some distance the worst CEO since the role was created. Not in a nasty way, just poor at his role.

    What’s more disappointing is the cloak and dagger actions in terms of a replacement being worked on for the last few months, Good grief. If the Club actually put this role out to the market rather than sorting it out in secrecy, they might recruit a higher calibre of candidate to chose from.

    Someone that poor at communication will not be a loss. Poorest in his position for a long time and yes I include Rowling in that.

    Wish him the best, but ultimately for our club it’s a good thing, the guy just wasn’t good enough in his role. Of course he did some good, like bringing Duff in, & one or two positive signings & contract extensions, but ultimately for me the negatives outweigh the positives, & he’s not a good people person.


    Hopefully the club can find a better replacement & hopefully this doesn’t mean January goes tits up!

    You have got to be kidding. Rowing couldn't tell the difference between an FA Cup 5th round match on a Saturday and a first round league Cup tie away at Boro on a Tuesday night. How was he to know there'd be high demand for Anfield when there wasn't for Middlesbrough? Hence his decision to allow 4 tickets per ST holder. Just one example of many.

    If Dane is free I'd be strongly tempted to bring him back.

    I wish him well in his future endeavors. He didn't alienate me, as he seems to have with many on here, but maybe I just don't let this stuff bother me.

    Gauthier? Too much of a link to Chien & Conway for me, so no thanks. Who knows, Dane may be held in good regard with our current board seeing as he supposedly tipped them the wink re Conway's position. Does he currently have a club or is he a free lance specialist or something?
