      I think Rafa's the lad who sorts the team out and does the tactics and stuff like that.

      Not sure though.

      I always thought Ayre was in charge of the commercial (Aren't I good for figuring that out!!)  side of things and getting our name recognized and basically sponsorship deals etc. And all we ever hear about Purslow is that he is a go-to man for Rafa when he wants something from the owners, but surely he does more than being a middle man?

      But I really do think them honorary presidents and vice presidents do nothing!!

      Noooo way.

      He's in the Parry-role. Except it has a different name.

      Wasn't Purslow yapping on about him and Rafa talk about funds constantly and whatever Rafa needs they discuss it together? I might have missed something there.

      Co-chairmen
      G.N. Gillett Jnr - Owners
      T.O. Hicks - Owners

      Ownership of the club, as Chairmen they have overriding power over the strategic (being long term) running of the club.

      Directors
      F.L. Gillett - Director
      T.O. Hicks Jnr - Director

      Now depending on them being executive or non executive they either have a say in the running of the business (executive) or they give advice on decisions to be made (non-executive). I would have thought they'd be the latter.

      Managing Director
      C.M.C. Purslow - MD

      Oversees the day to day running of the business, carrying direct responsibility for Rafa, the team, background staff, everyone basically. Also sits on the board of directors, thus meaning he airs the views of the people he manages i.e. Rafa.

      Group Chief Financial Officer - CFO
      P. Nash

      Fincancial Officer / Financial Director -probably a qualified accountant too at this level, basically manages the books, recording all income and expenditure and managing financial risk.

      Commercial Director -Sales/Marketing
      I. Ayre

      A salesman essentially, he would have a target of income revenue and would work to promote the Liverpool "brand", sponsorship, advertising, media etc, etc.

      Team Manager - Duh!
      Rafael Benitez

      Hon. Life President
      D.R. Moores

      Previous chairman / owner, possibly used for advice but has no say in anything, the word "life" signifies that he is welcome at the company anytime.

      Hon. Life Vice Presidents
      T.D. Smith
      K.E.B Clayton FCA
      J.D. Burns
      J.H. Cresswell ACA

      As with David Moores, these people have worked for the company before, and "are always welcome" which signifies the honorary and life bits. The FCA and ACA are the American and UK Chartered Accountants agencies so guess what they did.

      Hope that clears it up, I've studied business and such for around 10 years now and the structure is essentially the same as any LTD company.

      ACA and FCA are both members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).  ACA is an Associate Chartereed Accountant and FCA is a Fellow Chartered Accountant.  When you qualify you become and ACA, and after about 10 years you can apply to become an FCA.

      Ayre has increased our income from sponsorship etc by millions (something thats hould have happened years ago but Parry had his head stuck somewhere where the sun don't shine) which would be brilliant if it wasn't going to pay off the debt caused by the owners. Purslow's focus is also on the commercial side i.e. making more money for the club. Both seem to be doing a good job, but the problem is that the yanks get to say where the money goes and first up, it'll always be paying down the debt.

      Is it AICPA? It rings a bell. All these important acronyms, I dont bother with putting mine after my name, MCIPS and MCILT look stupid.

      Anyhow, I hope that people look at the above and get an idea, that LFC is a business, its not just Rafa and the players, a lot more goes on behind the scenes.
