Not much Vish if that is the case. However, the fact is Chelsea have only moved for this guy after Manchester United's proposed purchase of Mata. It appears we were the only club in for him earlier and the failure (which appears a common theme) to tie this deal up quickly has let them in the door.
We are all speculating with these transfers granted, however it does appear a constant reoccurring problem that our failure to get things done quickly is allowing other more financially powerful clubs in and that has to be looked at surely?
It looks to me that the mandate/objective given to Ayre as an MD is to get the club out of the loss making position. That would be the main objective given to an MD of any loss making business which has been struggling and where the shareholders do not wish to neither inject capital nor increase debt. LFC is being run as an private enterprise which it is at the end of the day, everybody should get to grips with that.
