Ian Ayre

[Eric Swindler]

I agree, which is why I have not called for him to be sacked. But we can only comment on what we see. We have seen him make a fool of himself over the 39th game, Dave Whelan and Warrior. I'm sure there are others that people will remember too. But these things we can be sure of are nothing other than PR **** ups. I suppose unless he is effecting FSG's balance sheet negatively they wont be overly fussed about what he is doing wrong.

Of course you're probably right. Even a cursory glance at how the Suarez affair was handled would lead one to to that conclusion.

And he ****ed off how at 9.30 on SKY SPORTS TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY, which in itself made him look like an incompetent buffoon.

So to summarise, Ayre is probably a dick. We just don't know exactly how much of a dick.

[Liverpool]

So is Ayre our new forward? it was all a cunning plan to get himself so game time or is this in the wrong forum?

[Slinky Skills]

You only have yourself to blame for making a fool of yourself like that. You were knocking back the Jägermeister like a seventeen year old girl on student night.

Appointing the french mr bean was always going to be a disaster. I said as much at the time

I would have preferred Mr Beanitez.

Appointing the Scottish Mr Has-Bean didn't help matters either.

Thank god we sold him to Stoke

I've disliked Ayre for a long time

Since the drunken bar rant when Rafa was our manager

I don't remember that one. Any links?

[Vermilion]

Ayre is on Keys and Grey this morning talking about the Manc game coming up amongst other things.

Alan Brazil suggested they ask him about when he was on one of the ships to be hit in the Falklands, and how he had to swim to shore.

will post the interview when it's up, or someone else can.

[Chazza]

On around 10.45am.

About now?

Answered the bit about the Suarez/Evra handshake well. Basically, it's a non-story, Suarez hasn't been told what to do. Sunday isn't a day to focus on the handshake. People will be watching for a different reason (Hillsborough).

Other points:
-Kenny is welcome anytime he wants. He has his season ticket and Ayre thinks he'll be there.
- Captains of Liverpool and Man Utd to release 96 balloons. Announcement to be made before the game on it. (I got the impression there'll be a couple more things involved.)

If they don't shake hands then the press will make a massive issue out of it.

I'm sure they'll be a certain red top desperate to make something out it if they dont'

A MUCH bigger fuss than the Anton Ferdinand affair last weekend. But of course Anton is English & Suarez is from some savage country where people go around calling black people Negrito amongst other things...
