If Hicks fails with his bid to buy out Gillet then I think its just a matter of time before Hicks has to sell. Hopefully Gillet will stick to his word and not sell to Hicks....... or any future Hicks partners.

Gutted to be honest, but I don't think this is the end, just a brief intermission.

There just waiting in the wings , they want the club , we know they want the club, G+H know they want the club . The two yanks are gonna fall on there swords in the end . They can't run the club like this , Gillette wants to sell ,but not to Hicks , he's quoted as saying that on Canadian radio last week . It will end up in court imo , with us sitting in the wings watching our great club being thrown infront of the worlds media once again . It's sh!t i know ,but DIC will get us in the end imo ,but not without alot more turmoil ahead.

We as fans must still keep up the pressure on G+H to sell . I know it's hard with the champions league run we are on at the moment,but what everyones got to remember is the money we are making from this run is lineing the two tw@ts pockets. We cannot let them get away with rapeing our great club . KEEP UP THE PRESSURE AND THEY WILL SELL.

Forget about this sh.it til the end of the season. The last thing we need is for everyone to get distracted by this takeover business again - we have more important things to worry about on the pitch.

Parrys been asked to resiegn by Hicks on sky news now

by **inglis5** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 4:05 pm

OK, so Parry has been asked to resign and DIC have temporarily abandoned attempts to buy the club. Is this the 'big exciting news' Hicks promised us? Wow, what a guy!

by **kunilson** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 4:14 pm

Hicks is a great guy, he has vision. unbelievable we managed to get this guy to lead our club into the future.

Seriously though i don't think this is the last we've heard of this neverending story, and now Parry's gone....he wasn't the best at his job but who's gonna replace him for this crucial summer? another of Hick's men or what?

by **Ciggy** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 4:17 pm

Unbelieveable Tom Hicks has sent a letter to Parry in London calling for him to resign immediatley, so this was the good news then was it Tom?

Liverpool's season of boardroom turmoil took another astonishing twist on Thursday when co-owner Tom Hicks asked for the resignation of chief executive Rick Parry.

It is believed that a letter arrived at Anfield on Thursday - just 48 hours after Liverpool's successful passage into the UEFA Champions League semi-finals - demanding Parry's departure.

Parry is currently in London at a Premier League meeting but he has been made aware of the communication and is expected to refuse to quit by return of post.

This shock move from the Dallas-based co-owner is just another twist in the ongoing saga over control of the club, which reached a peak last month when talks between Hicks and Dubai International Capital broke down.

Hicks was in London last week and watched both the Liverpool matches against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

But on Tuesday, Hicks was back in Dallas watching his Texas Rangers baseball team while co-owner George Gillett was shown on TV sitting next to Parry in the Liverpool directors' box during the 4-2 win over Arsenal.

And this current development does nothing for the stability of the club ahead of Rafa Benitez's attempts to reach a third European Cup final in four years.

However, with the club ownership split 50-50 between the two Americans, Hicks would not have been able to sanction Parry's dismissal, hence the letter received at Anfield on Thursday.

Hicks was believed to have been enraged by an interview from Parry in which the chief executive pleaded with both co-owners to end the war or words between them and come to an agreement that would allow the club to move forward.

It was Parry who was largely involved in bringing Gillett to the club 18 months ago, with the American bringing in Hicks for added financial muscle to get the deal through.

At that point DIC believed they were on the brink of buying former chairman David Moores' majority holding, only for the deal to collapse at the last minute when Moores - now life vice-president and still a board member - changed his mind.

Since then DIC have patiently worked towards a deal to buy out both Americans. It is believed that Gillett has agreed to sell his stake, but refuses to sell those shares to Hicks.

The relationship between Gillett and Hicks has spectacularly broken down, with Parry at times finding himself in the middle trying to run the club effectively on a day-to-day basis.

Now Hicks' camp clearly believe that Parry is siding with Gillett as the uproar rumbles on, which has prompted the request for his resignation.

Didnt se that coming !!

And DIC are on Al Jazzera saying that although they still want us they will be staying away till the Yanky Doodles have finished messing about.

What does this mean to liverpool, will we be unable to negotiate transfers with out one.

Will Hicks have more control over team affairs with out parry to get in the way.

by **Ciggy** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 4:22 pm

He is blaming Parry that we are 80 million behind in merchandise sales last year :no

It probably mean Hicks is tightening his grip Parry refused to let him put all the debt on the club, if he is gone nothing stops Hicks from doing so.
