No sympathy given he sold us to the Americans...


Former Liverpool chairman David Moores has resigned from the club’s board, The Reds announced on Thursday afternoon.

Moores sold Liverpool to George Gillett and Tom Hicks in February 2007 as he felt no longer capable of taking the club forward with his own resources.

However, the feud that developed between the two American owners left Moores disillusioned and, in April 2008, he stated: "It's heartbreaking. I'm almost lost for words about the damage that's being done to the club at the present time.”

The former Anfield chief will retain his position as honorary life president with the Merseyside club following Thursday’s announcement.

“Liverpool FC confirmed today that David Moores has resigned from the club's board of directors,” read a club statement.

“Mr Moores will, however, retain his position as club honorary life president.”

Moores joins former chief executive Rick Parry in leaving the board after it was announced in February that the latter would be departing at the end of the season just finished.

personally don't care - his greed lumbered us with the americans when he had other offers that were clearly better for the club! him and his crocodile tears can go erm what's a polite way to put this??? hmmmm i think everyone can guess what i mean anyway!

Im with Simon777, the timing of his resignation is significant. You don't resign from the board in the middle of June unless something is going on. I can only hope he was bored & it's not cos masch & alonso are off to spain.

I got a very bad feeling this morning something was up and now Koptalk has pretty much confirmed it. We somehow need to get rid of these yanks... There so hard nosed I don't know what would work. But back to the football, we have one of our best seasons and then we are looking likely to sell our whole central midfield against our wishes. Whenever we get hope something bad always happens.

Well if both Xabi and Monster go we can certainly forget about next season, we'll be scrambling to finish in the top 4.

Not only that but both Rafa and Torres would certainly be considering their positions...

the timing of moores' resignation is significant. something big is about to happen.

and no matter what people say about him, he sold out. plain and simple.

Couldn't agree more Trep. He can go on all he wants about what has happened to the club but it's his fault.
