Why would anyone want to be managing director of Liverpool Football Club in its current state of malaise? That is the question which has been nagging away at so many Liverpool fans ever since Christian Purslow took on that very role in June of this year.

Sure, enjoying the financial benefits of a salary commensurate with what is one of the loftiest executive positions in English football isn’t exactly a hardship during a recession and having your own personal chauffeur to drive you to and from meetings has its advantages, although surely investing in a hands-free kit for the inevitable stream of vital phone calls would probably be more cost effective to the club at a time when cash is so scarce there must be a growing temptation for You’ll Never Walk Alone to be replaced with Money’s Too Tight to Mention as Liverpool’s anthem.

A seat in the directors box at Anfield is another obvious attraction, apart from the fact that it affords you one of the best views in the house of Ryan Babel’s ongoing attempt to disprove the widely-held theory that Jimmy Carter was the worst Liverpool winger of all time.

Then there is the hospitality provided in the boardroom, which recently became a David Moores free zone at the behest of owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett who no longer want to breathe the same air as the man who sold them the club two and a half years ago. Although the fact that the closest the American duo have got to Merseyside in recent months is probably a cable TV re-run of the Beatles’ legendary appearance on the Ed Sullivan show defeats the object somewhat.

If they are the rather limited pros, then the cons are surely enough to make even the most highly qualified executive wish for an easier life, say as image consultant to Gordon Brown, accountant/therapist/make-up artist/husband/voice coach of Kerry Katona or just being George Burley. It can’t be too much fun, after all, to be the meat in not one, but two, sandwiches, knowing that pleasing one of your two warring bosses will not necessarily satisfy the other and that keeping both of them happy is likely to upset a first-team manager who has a past history littered with outbursts against his superiors.

If Purslow didn’t realise just how demanding Rafael Benitez is then his first few months in one of the most difficult roles in football must surely have filled in any such gaps in his knowledge. Somehow, and this may be down to contractual restrictions rather than an unlikely outbreak of peace and harmony at Anfield, the lid has been kept down on Benitez’s frustrations at the transfer budget he was afforded this summer. Fortunately for the Spaniard, there have been no shortage of fans and media commentators who have been willing to say what he either can’t or won’t and this is that is for the first time in several years, Liverpool’s net summer spend has got nowhere near the £20m mark.

In keeping with his apparent brief to keep costs down and keep trouble and controversy as far away from the Shankly Gates as possible, Purslow has handled what could have been an intensely difficult situation with no little adroitness. Firstly, by helping deliver his manager’s main transfer targets and thus avoiding the kind of Gareth Barry row which delivered the fatal blow to Benitez’s relationship with Rick Parry, and secondly by using the kind of sleight of hand characteristic of the most expert of bean counters in massaging the figures well enough to stop any outcry from becoming an outright rebellion.

Purslow insists that Liverpool have spent £20m net this summer and there is little question that he is spot on in this assessment. When transfer costs are grouped together with agents fees, signing on fees and other such overheads it is easy to see how the Merseyside club’s outlay has reached its traditional mark even after the incoming transfer fees received for the likes of Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa are taken into account. But what the co-founder of MidOcean Partners has neglected to mention is that in the past, up until this year in fact, Liverpool’s net summer spend on transfers has only ever included transfer fees themselves, with all other ancillary costs being absorbed into the general running costs of the club.

Without this subtle change to the way Liverpool keep their accounts then their net spend on transfers this summer would be virtually zero with Benitez having pretty much balanced the books when it comes to incomings and outgoings.

The thing is, no-one should have been expecting any different. Purslow has been appointed to act as a much needed rudder for a ship which remains in danger of sinking under the sheer weight of debt which has been accumulated since Hicks and Gillett took over in February 2007.

With £1m in interest payments needed every nine days just to service their debt there is unlikely to be too much spare change down the back of Anfield’s sofas even at a time when Liverpool have just received £50.1m as their share of TV revenues.

Purslow’s invidious choice was either to find a way of backing Benitez in the transfer market and running the risk of putting an increased and potentially intolerable strain on the club’s finances in the process or to put financial stability first and run the risk of failing to make the necessary improvements to the first-team squad.

There are minute gaps between rocks and hard places which are more fun to be in and Purslow should not be criticised for refusing to spend money which was not there, even if it does mean that Liverpool’s title hopes are unlikely to be realised this season as a result.

This, in essence, is why Purslow’s position as managing director is such a poisoned chalice. Fall short in the title race this year and featuring near the very top on the list of results provided by the inevitable annual inquest will be a failure to invest adequately in playing staff. Not too many fans will be handing out credit for keeping the ship afloat, though, as the very least they expect of a club of Liverpool’s size and potential wealth is that it will function adequately as a business.

Somehow, by the time the next transfer window opens in January, Purslow needs to have found some middle ground. It won’t be easy because Hicks and Gillett will probably still be as willing to sell the club as they have been for the last 12 months and as such will be equally keen to keep Liverpool’s cost base down to the kind of level which attracts investors and the noose of massive debt will still be tight around the necks of all at Anfield. As ever where Liverpool are involved though, inspiration can be taken from the time of Bill Shankly, although not from the great man himself.

At the end of his first season in the manager’s hot seat at Anfield, Shankly had identified the improvements that needed to be made to his squad if he was to be able to guide them from the old Division Two to Division One. The problem then, as now, was that enhancements cost money and the Liverpool board was not willing to cough up what was needed.

“Knowing what needed to be done was one thing,” recalled Shankly years later. “Convincing the directors was another. It is difficult to believe how hard I had to fight to make certain people realise the potential of the club. At other clubs where I was manager, I knew their limitations. I knew when it was no good, when it was pointless.

"But not at Liverpool. I could see what was possible and yet I had to convince people that they should not do things on the cheap.

“At the end of my first full season at Liverpool, we finished third in the Second Division and I was determined to sign players before the start of the following season. Ron Yeats and Ian St John were the players on my mind, but when we discussed possible transfer moves at board meetings, the tune was still ‘We can’t afford them’. That’s when Eric Sawyer stepped in and said ‘We cannot afford not to buy them’.

"‘Bill’, he said ‘if you can get the players, I will get the money’.”

Liverpool have spent much of the past couple of decades looking for the new Kenny Dalglish, the new Alan Hansen and the new Graeme Souness. But what they need right now more than anything else is the new Eric Sawyer, an administrator who can realise the huge potential of the team and its manager without jeopardising the future of the club. That is the challenge facing Christian Purslow, a man tasked with one of the most difficult and precarious balancing acts in football.
