Christian Purslow has stood down as managing director of Liverpool FC, after the sale of the club was completed last week.

Purslow replaced Rick Parry in June 2009 and played a key role in the sale of the club to New England Sports Ventures.

He will remain as a non-executive director and will act as a special adviser to the new owners.

New England Sports Ventures Chairman Tom Werner said: “We are delighted Christian has accepted our offer to help us and the Club, given his great experience and love for Liverpool FC. We will now begin a global search process for a Chief Executive Officer.”

Christian said today: "I came to LFC to lead the club through a sale process to get the best overall deal including, vitally, the removal of the debt.

"I am immensely proud of what we have all achieved. I now look forward to assisting the owners in any way I can at this exciting time as they drive the club forward to a bright future."
