Iainrfc04 39 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Good appointment tbh. A guy who should be able to get some big deals negotiated and further improve our stature around the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Do not understand.He sorted their kit sponsor which is all I remember? Interesting move, I thought Ron did a great job in bringing new sponsors in over the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Pops up on R5 now and again saying where clubs have gone wrong.Was, and still is as far as I know, a Liverpool season ticket holder, and was part of the Hicks Gillete popular front.Still hes not replacing Gourlay so hopefully steers clear of the football side of things.

He will have zero involvement on football stuff, and going by his track record at Liverpool that's a great thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He hasn't joined the 'Board', technically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Meh, if he can secure commercial deals that outweight his salary and bonus scheme etc. then why not, Liverpool ticket holder or not, couldn't care just do not understand the appointment unless we are going full retard on sponsorship like United have done in the last few years (5 years+), not a bad thing, guess we'll see over the next few years!

Fernando 6,585 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Interesting and weird appointment at the same time. Well hope he does a good job nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Really? How so? Not a dig just curious until we see the official numbers.You don't really have to be Sherlock Holmes to work it out. There was something comedic like a £3m difference between the new one and the Samsung deal. No progression.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper22 2,418 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Tbh this is probably going to be a good appointment in the long run. He's being hired purely to get sponsorship money in and get us better deals than we have been getting previously (Turkish Airlines >.<).He's only a businessman and only getting involved with the business side of the club, so it's more than irrelevant that he's ex-Liverpool. Kinda hope it's not too late and nothing has been signed yet and he's been brought in soon enough to sort our shirt sponsor out for next season, so we don't have to have Turkish Airlines for comparative peanuts compared to our rivals.
