Purslow steps down from Liverpool
Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow has decided to stand down from his role following the successful sale of the club.
Purslow was brought in by formers owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett in the summer of 2009 to initially look for further investment in the club.
However, he took on a more key role - alongside a newly-appointed chairman in Martin Broughton - last April when the Americans decided sell the club.
The pair helped negotiate a deal with New England Sports Ventures, who completed their £300million takeover last week.
Purslow will remain as a non-executive director in an advisory capacity to the new owners.
It is expected Broughton will also step down from his position in the near future once NESV have been brought up to speed with details of their new acquisition.
