KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Christian Purslow - Respect Due

I've been around Koptalk a long time (ty Dunk for a great site, and the posters for many great discussions) but very rarely post. But I felt I had to post tonight to make sure Christian Purslow gets the respect he's due - and some apologies, too.

I've just watched his interview on the official site

First - the man is clealy shattered. Secondly - he behaves exactly as I want Liverpool execs to behave: humble, professional, dedicated. No victory dance, no slagging off G&H, no complaints about his treatment by fans, although he admits it hurt. Respect.

Let's hope we can return to the Liverpool Way. Yes, I know times have changed. But, from what I've seen so far, Purslow and Henry fit the bill: professionals at home in the modern business world, but with respect for tradition and some dignity.

Purslow's taken alot of stick over his comments about spending last summer, and over Rafa. But every Liverpool fan owes him a debt of gratitude today. I'm not getting carried away. But, he's made a massive contribution towards clearing the debt which was cripppling our club, and bringing in new owners who seem professional and realistic in their committment to winning.

Thank you Christian. I fear you may have walked alone at some points over the last few months. Thanks for fighting for us. YNWA.

+3 The guys a legend, i feel sorry for him. I hope NESV keep him on as he is clearly what this club needs instead of them bringing in a yank that knows nothing about football

He's taken some right stick over the past year - respect to the man because he was obviously working his butt off for the fans behind the scenes. Respect to Dunk as well for not getting involved with the ridiculous smear campaign. I hope the people who were doing that are now eating humble pie and doing some grovelling.

I had my doubts, but he's come good for us. I owe him an apology.

well done broughton, purslow and ayre!

only problem i've ever had with christian was when he spoke about transfer money in the summer of 09 but since then i've had faith that he was doing his best to make sure this club will have a bright future (which he clearly has done)

i said all along that broughton was a professional and he wouldn't destroy his reputation by taking on the job if his intentions wasn't genuine. he fought the battle against h&g all the way through and even put his own career at stake with all these lawsuits and so on...

well done gents!

"Absolutely. It's a terrific club, it's a fantastic group of people, fantastic fans, the atmosphere will be electric again now and I'll look forward to coming back to Liverpool on a frequent basis and after Chelsea's result, it will always be the result I look out for."

the abuse broughton and purslow has had is a disgrace i still haven't seen or heard an apology from the spirit of shankly and it doesn't suprise me , these people broughton,purslow ETC have stood up for the club and its supporters they could have easily crumbled and allowed hicks and his group to keep control , ok we don't know if NESV is the right deal yet but as it stands now it is so please apologies needed and quickly , i don't have any respect for the SoS for the backing of benitez which for me one of the trio of problems at LFC hicks,gillett and benitez a trinity of evil as far as i was concerned and just a bunch of Z-List celebs earning money out of it and getting publicity for there own gains (Hooton,Allt,ETC) .

Yes totaly agree, there needs to be some apologising especialy to Broughton and Purslow, starting with a public apology from the S.O.S. We already had a big thank you to Mr Purslow for getting shut and sacking the evil Benitez from the Club never mind what he done in Court.

I didn't know that SOS had waded in against Broughton and Purslow in the past - but if that's the case they should apologise and quick or face losing credibility. Isn't Mike Jefferies another who publicly attacked Purslow?
