Liverpool FC's Ian Ayre labels Wigan owner Dave Whelan 'a comedian'

[Lee]

Initial reaction was lolz, however in hindsight it was best not to have said anything at all. Very unprofessional from Ayre.

[TheElephantMan]

It's more publicity for Wigan, Whelan will be made up.

[Fredo]

He should be sacked and thrown to the Windsor's.

[Mostar]

Dumb for Ayre to say this... we have the man we want, move on. Looks small time to comment on it. Need PR people to know the game and play it.

Not a fan of Ian Ayre by any means and I do agree this type of comments are not needed at all.

There is no reason for us to put ourselves at the level of Dave Whelan and actually reply to his stupidity.

[Lecter]

So ayre finally shows his true nature publicly

[Atherton red]

Absolutely no need for Ayre to even discuss it. Everyone made their own conclusions as to whelan during the few last weeks. Ayre is often embarrassing, i'm hoping once some of the new appointments are bedded in that they look to move him on.

[Gibbo]

Also, is he taking the piss with the 08-09 season book/dvd thing behind him?!

Have you looked at that Ian? the manager who achieved everything in there you refused to even speak too when their was a job available because of your little schoolboy mood with the man.

Takes one to know one

Why am I not surprised? He's the Stewart Downing of running clubs.

Unfortunately they are on his head

[The Birdman]

Whelen acted like a prick but he used us as a fantastic way of raising publicity for his club

[Red_Polo]

Judging by these comments, Ayre can't see past his nose.
