NESV Appoint Global Search Firm to Recruit CEO

Www.worldfootballinsider.com                                   Global executive search firm Spencer Stuart appointed to advise on recruitment of new Chief Executive Officer. It will be led by Jonathan Smith. Candidates from UK and abroad will be considered. It is hoped the process will be completed early in the new year.

This is probably an indication of how far we have actually progressed, what chance is there of replacing the manager if the executive chairman has yet to be appointed? Patience is indeed a virtue.   

Just out of interest, it isn't NESV now.

The holding company of Liverpool FC is now UKSV, registered the same day as the takeover.

They are priming the boardroom for a blow out. I am excited and kind of scared about how radically things may change when the boardroom gets set. And by scared I am not worried, just there may be sweeping changes.

Im convinced this season is just a buffer for the new owners to get everything ready for a raid next season. Everything is being primed for a massive reshaping and the new people will lead us in to a new season, with a new manager and new players.

I think your right. Little too quiet, which is fine.

It is nothing like any other "Big" takeovers before... Very sedate and calm.

After Hicks and Gillett it needs to be sedate and calm,we do not need any false promises as we have had enough of them in the last three and a half years.

I agree with this.

Whilst things are icredibly frustrating right now, I think it is a sign of intelligence from the owners that they are not rushing into any decisions.

They are fully aware that mid-season, the number of managers and players who are available, and of the quality we require, is vastly reduced.

Whilst I don't think Roy is the right man and would like to see him replaced, I want to see him replaced by the right person. A competent manager with the abilities to take us forward, not just a replacement for replacements sake.

What's more difficult is that where we finish in the Premier League may have an impact on the players we can sign next summer. However, I like to believe that if we have the right man in place, with a club that is showing it wants to expand and improve, the players will look at us as an excellent long-term prospect.

That certainly looks the way of it mate, what better time to install a new board etc is there than the close season when player and managerial issues can be put on the back burner for while.

Makes sense. Although they could have gone from New England to Old England or Real England,

They could have left the initials alone and called it- Not English

and I assume NESV are the holding company of UKSV? Just hope it's not the same sort of mess the other bunch on muppets got into with no-one knowing exactly who owned what.

I wish we could get back to the days when we didnt know or didnt care who was in the boardroom only who was in the Bootroom.

I really hope so.

Pretty much agree Crouchy what I will say is this as I told people like Racer and Shabs and one or two others in PM's before it was even announced by Paul Tomkins, was that John Henry was speaking to Tomkins.

Now what ever the side of Fence you sit on regarding Tomkins one thing that can not be denied is his overwhelming database and analytical factual research.

Tomkins is now in a good position as John Henry's sabermetrics and Tomkins database and knowledge are a marriage made in heaven and Tomkins is only too happy to give John Henry any support he needs.

John Henry is surrounding is surrounding himself in football men and immersing himself into Liverpool and doing what you could call a crash course on Liverpool F.C and football in General.

The point I'm getting at is John Henry knows his inexperience in football, he won't care about writing off a season to take on advice from footballing men and make sure he gets the right people in place to make decisions that will have long term benefits for his investment and Liverpool F.C as a whole.

We've had the takeover speculation, the transfer speculation and the manager speculation so here comes the new CEO speculation. 

Liverpool in link to Peter Lawwell

Peter Lawwell has emerged as a potential candidate to become Liverpool’s new chief executive.

The Anfield club’s owners, New England Sports Ventures, have appointed global head-hunters with the brief to find “business leaders with an interest in, and experience of, football”.

Lawwell previously spurned the advances of Arsenal when he was given the chance to take up a similar position at the Emirates Stadium, opting to remain at Celtic.

Liverpool’s new owner, American businessman John W Henry, wants someone with a knowledge of British football to fill the void left by the departure of Christian Purslow soon after his take-over deal was completed.

An appointment is likely to be made early in the new year.

David dein would be the ideal candidate.

Any likelihood of H+C Part II? I'm feeling uncomfortable now.

Fooking hell mate, they have only been here five minutes, just check out their history at the Brooklyn Red Socks, they are poles apart from H&G and that comparison is offensive when they haven't even had a chance to implement their plans.

Red Sox is Red Sox, LFC is LFC and both are also more than poles apart. I don't give a damn what they do with and what has happened and will happen to Red Sox, but LFC, yes SIR, I do.

And we all want whats best for Liverpool FC and that invokes being patient with the owners and allowing them implement their strategy, they have only been here five minutes Rome wasn't built in a day.

So you want them to sack Roy its an easy decision, then what ?

What does Nesv and John Henry know about football ?

Perhaps we'll jump from the frying pan into the fire and he'll apoint Big Sam, let NESV get the people into help them make the right  footballing decisions to drive the club forward and show a little patience.

Aye, good post.  Patience is required.  I was involved in a take-over a few years back, the company I worked for was swallowed by a bigger one.  Nothing changed straightaway, in fact for 6 months it was like we were still two different companies & to be honest, it is only in the last year that it's really started to seem like a cohesive whole.  I know some are clamouring for change & on a couple of aspects I'm with them, but I expect this to be a slow, incremental process.

I can be and I should be patient when it comes to NESV appointing the Board/CEO, and NESV need and should be given as much time to do so to ensure that they have got the right calibre of people onto the Board plus the CEO to chart the long term future of the club. More than agreed on that. But in the meantime, they need to also realise that they need to act fast on the manager as our performance on the pitch only tells us that we can only get worse and the incoming board and CEO, at the earliset perhaps next February or March ain't going to be much help as by then and it may be too late, we could be one of the bottom three teams with not too many games left. It's the timing I'm talking about here. Big Sam, quite unlikely, there are much better candidates out there.

Obviously there are, but with NESV'S football inexperience would they appoint the right man ?

I'll take you back to your post.

^^^ That unfortunately stands with making a mangerial appointment too.

Like you I want to see Roy gone, the moment a return of 35 points from 19 games became impossible it was his final in the coffin for me, but I'm prepeared to be patient with NESV not Roy Hodgson to ensure they do the right thing in terms of firing and hiring the right man to use your own words to chart the long term future of LFC.

Peter Lawwell - who knows anything about him please? "NESV - our owners" is another topic.

If this season is to be writern off a ssuch and we fail to qualify for the CL (f***in ha f***in ha) we will loose our best players and we will fail to attract the best players. I can see us dropping down to the level of Villa and Everton. we are LFC not Lf PLC without a new manager in giving him a chance to arrest the slide then I feel we are being cheated. We expect and demand the very best why should we except anything less this is turning out to be a very frustrating time. A new CEO will not socre us a winning goal or save a penalty the owners have a very good stand by in Kenny if they feel a new CEO should appoint a new manager but FFS get Rid of Roy or the fans will vote with their feet this time.

Peter Lawwell - who knows anything about him please? "NESV - our owners" is another topic.

Not a lot mate.  Theres nothing much on his very small Wiki page either.

Peter Lawwell is the chief executive of the Scottish Premier League football club Celtic F.C.

After a career working as an executive for a number of companies, including ICI and Hoffman-LaRoche, Lawwell joined Celtic as financial controller in 1990. He left the club and held senior positions in Mining Scotland and Clydeport before returning to Celtic in November 2003 as CEO.

This needs to be seriously speeded up, an appointment needs to be made next week, the longer that clown is here the more damage he does.

Peter Lawwell - who knows anything about him please? "NESV - our owners" is another topic.

He is the Celtic CEO, not sure how they feel about him. I will ask about at work tonight.

He has been there a while now and largely seen success.

However he was in charge of the appointment of Lennon, which was a bit of a farce. Also hired Strachan (very successful) and Mowbray (a joke)

Obviously there are, but with NESV'S football inexperience would they appoint the right man ?

I'll take you back to your post.

I believe NESV won't act alone in appointing the new manager, they are big corporations and they must already have a very wide network of connections in-place to seek out the next manager. That would be the least of my worries.

Yes, I would like to reiterate the NESV appointment of the Board and CEO will eventually take place and will also be given the responsible to appoint the next manager, but in the meantime, time is an essence we can't wait for the Board/CEO to come on board, it may be too late then. Yours and my argument are as valid, it depends on the timing the Board and CEO are appointed. If say, we appoint the Board/CEO next week or next month, we will have enough games to avoid a relegation battle or perhaps gives us a chance to get into top 4, but if the apointment is say March or April next year and Roy is still around, deploying his negative tactics week in week out, we will be in deep sh*t.

This Peter Lawwell what is he centre forward or defender. We dont need a CEO to play better we need players and a Manager who can manage. i am not in the slightest bit interested the CEO is the owners bi*ch they can have who they want.

I asked a few of the more knowledgeable Celtic fans at work about Peter Lawwell.

All very complimentary about him, general thing being he took them from a bad financial situation into a consistent profit making club while keeping a (pretty) good onfield performance.

I find it quite embarrassing we're using the term CEO.

What happened to just calling said person Chief Executive.

I know, me and my F***ing luddite ways!!

Easier to type, pure lazyness on my part.

Now that we've a sporting director, who will decide on the next manager, him or CEO?

Personally I dont think we are gonna get relegated, I know you shouldn't say that we are too big to be relegated but in our case i think its true. At worst this season we will finish outside of the european spots. AND no way do i think thats acceptable for a club of our size and stature.

Even if woy was to be replaced now, whoever comes in will need time to assess the players, time to make his ideas work and time to get the team playing like he wants them to............... so again imo even if we change managers now, i think at best we can only hope to finish in the european spots, dont think 4th would be possible. That would need a dramatic change in performance from a number of players.

CEO has been used for a long time now.Personally I dont care what we call him and dont care if we ever learn his name.We should only care about the team and the Manager all this getting involved with the owners and board members has had such a negative effect on the club. We have a full time chairman in Tom Werner so far his contibution is to tell us he wants a 39th game in Timbucktoo.
Now if they spring up and announce they have sacked Roy and brought in Hiddink then they will have my apologies but I think I am safe on that one.

I think personally that David Dein will get the nod. At present hes the president of the England 2018 world cup bid, but that will be done and dusted by next week. I know hes an Arsenal man but he did wonders for them and could do a fine job alongside NESV.

With the England World Cup bid well and truly over, i think our search for the new CEO should stop with David Dein. NESV are after the same model as Arsenal and Dein was the big influence in bringing Wenger in and their philosophy of bring in and developing young tallent. If NESV are to go down this road, who better to do it is David Dein IMO.   

I echo that entirely. Would be happy with Dein. Get him in now the bid has failed and a new manager in time for January. Good times

There's a few possible candidates from the bid team, Dein being one of them mate.

Kop-Talk is a full of sh*t. Click here to be further enlightened.

What about Mark Palios how doe she fit the bill. not sure if Dein sees himself as an employee anymore. Have they posted it on the Jobcentre site.

Would be nice to know a full agenda of our american owners NESV or whatever the official title is ,our season so far is rubbish due to performance issues from players and our manager .It's obvious we need a good man right at the top in the club but we need to sort out our immediate problems quickly or the new chief exec. will be in charge of a club with fantastic history but limited potential ,be interesting to know what the forum would consider a good positive agenda !

You would think a CEO would be the first appointment after a takeover.

You would think a CEO would be the first appointment after a takeover.

My take is that they are a bit like frightend Rabbits and are aware of their lack of any knowledge of Football. A good CEO with an indepth knowledge will be their eyes and ears in the club and help them to understand what is going on and what is the truth i.e is Roy really so bad.
The point is they have been caught out early and clearly were not ready to take over the club and have almost gone into hiding ever since.
Until a CEO is appointed they seem terrifed to make any footballing decisions and so Roy is safe.
Its a very good example of why overseas owners dont work. You see now that Chelsea have the opposite problem with Abramovich almost picking the team.
we missed the opportunity of a fans buyout which would have been a perfect fit for this club now we have to sit and wait whilst the owners quickly learn how to run a PL club.

I say it again i never buy any product without proper research into it and the functionality of it,maybe they bought the club because of the cheap going rate and will make the rest up along the way i just dont know but it would be nice to hear a squeak now and then.

Well it would appear and the evidence is there to back it up that we were bought on a whim.Otherwise a CEO being one of the top appointments would have been lined up during the bid. To scout round now smacks of desperation.
They said they would keep us informed and listen to us. Are there any examples of these two statements being honoured by the owners.

Where does SOS come in into this?surely they have some communication between them.
