KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rick Parry OUT!!!

Its Christmas early for us...

Hope new news will be Raffa to sign a new contract...

the best thing the club can have done is get rid of that useless tit

Its on The Times...

Rick Parry will part company with Liverpool today.

The chief executive, who has been embroiled in a power struggle with Rafael Benitez, will depart from Anfield, which will represent a massive victory for the manager.

Parry has been negotiating a pay-off for the past few weeks.

This development comes at the end of a fraught week for the club when rumours circulated that the manager had been dismissed. Benitez has emerged stronger after the victory against Real Madrid but the painful politics of Liverpool mean that even today's development does not make the manager's situation palpably clearer.

Parry was known to be an ally of Gillett, but the pair are believed to have fallen out over the stories that surfaced on Wednesday suggesting that Benitez was about to leave the club.

Gillett has found no buyer for his 50 per cent stake but this latest development opens the door to a change of ownership at Anfield because the co-owner has lost his last ally at the club.

Agreed. He is a useless crap and dod nothing during the 10 yrs or so he was with us...

And when you think of the number of transfer target we lost because of him...

Now hope the two Yanks will follow...

Its official...

RICK PARRY TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL FC
Paul Eaton 27 February 2009

Liverpool FC Chief Executive Rick Parry will leave Anfield at the end of the current season, the Club has confirmed today.
Mr Parry, 54, will stay at Liverpool until the end of this campaign in order for a smooth transition to take place.

An accountant by profession, Mr Parry joined the Reds from The FA Premier League in 1997. His tenure reached a high point in 2005 when LFC secured their fifth European Cup trophy.

Liverpool Co-Chairman Tom Hicks said today: "Rick's commitment to Liverpool Football Club is epitomised by his desire to ensure that this transitional period is managed efficiently and we are grateful to him for his help. He will always remain a friend of the football club."

Fellow Co-Chairman George Gillett added: "I would like to thank Rick for his significant service to the Club and the assistance he has given us since we joined Liverpool. He has been integral to the club's success over the past decade and leaves with our best wishes for the future."

Rick Parry said; "I have had 12 very exciting years at Liverpool and am extremely proud of what has been achieved by the Club over that period. The victory in Madrid was a wonderful reminder of the many high points we have experienced and adds to the moments that make Liverpool and its magnificent fans so special.

"It has been a privilege to serve the Club and as a lifelong supporter I wish the owners, Rafa, the players and the wonderful staff all the very best for the future. I will be leaving at the end of the season knowing that the Club remains strong and with a set of supporters who deserve success in all that Liverpool does."

The Board will initiate a search for a new Chief Executive and will update supporters and other stakeholders when appropriate.

I'll play the numbers game, 1 down 2 to go.

Whispers that Barwick is the one coming in, but also heard David Dein mentioned which would be fantastic.

as long as they do what rafa wants i don't care who come in to replace parry to be honest

great news! here's hoping for a domino effect - yanks out!

they should let rafa choose the new guy then he can have no complaints or arguments about him

this is brilliant news for the club,and us, now..........if rafa signs a the new deal and he has complete control over transfers...........Christmas will indeed have come early!!
