      I've no idea on the identity of the new Director of Football (or similar role), just that one is apparently already lined up #LFC

      The source is Twitter.

      Let me remind you that we don't start threads like this with Twitter sources.

      Until there is a more reliable source, this is locked.

      Liverpool FC hires Jen Chang as director of communications

      http://www.prweek.com/uk/news/1132722/liverpool-fc-hires-jen-chang-director-communications

      Liverpool FC has hired Sports Illustrated journalist Jen Chang as its new director of communications, PRWeek understands.

      Chang will replace Ian Cotton, who left on 13 May after 16 years with the club.

      Chang is currently a senior editor at Sports Illustrated and headed up the editorial coverage of football for the US soccer section on ESPN.com.

      The news comes after a tumultuous week for the club, which saw it part company with manager Kenny Dalglish, director of football Damien Comolli and communications director Cotton.

      The departures followed a disappointing season for the team on the pitch and widespread condemnation of the defiant way the club handled the Luis Suarez affair last October, in which the striker was charged by the FA for racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra.

      Liverpool fan Chang strongly defended Suarez and the club on Twitter at the time and called for Evra too to be charged by the FA, stating: 'Why is Patrice Evra not getting charged by the FA? Evra admits in evidence he used insulting language towards Suarez.'

      Liverpool FC declined to confirm the appointment, saying that an announcement was imminent.

      Jen Chang has been very supportive of Rafa Benitez, very critical of Roy Hodgson and very interested in what Roberto Martinez could do with more money.

      However, he is the communications chief - clearly NOT the director of football as some simpletons seem to have misunderstood!

      A generally agree with his opinions and find his comments interesting. I don't suppose he'll have that much freedom of speech in this role though.

      Pleased to see that FSG have wasted no time in making an appointment.

      New to me but I wish him luck and very pleased to hear that he backed Suarez during the FA stitch up.

      Ian Ayre, Managing Director said: "Jen brings a depth and range of valuable international communications experience gained over the past 15 years and we are delighted to welcome him to Liverpool.  Jen will join the Club's Executive Management Team and play a key role in supporting Liverpool as we optimize the LFC brand on a global scale."
