Gillett to go to Marseille Game

[Alonso]

Gillett and Rafa Benitez to meet in France

By Ben Lyttleton

 

George Gillett is expected to fly in to witness Liverpool's night of European destiny in Marseille on Tuesday.

 

The Anfield club's co-owner has made a surprise decision to be at the Stade Velodrome to see for himself whether Liverpool can pull off the great escape and reach the last 16 of the Champions League.

 

Gillett and Tom Hicks were not expected on this side of the Atlantic until later in the week for their much-heralded meeting with manager Rafael Benitez, after the fall-out over the new American owners' transfer policy. The pair were due to be on Merseyside at the weekend for the Premier League clash with Manchester United, but Gillett will now have the chance for a low-key chat with Benitez in France first.

 

Gillett will hope to witness Liverpool's third successive group win, which will ensure a remarkable qualification for the knock-out stages few expected after the Reds' dreadful start to the campaign.

 

Wonder what the "low key chat" will be about and why is he coming on his own and not with Hicks?

Rick Parry to join via conference call from Barbados ?

good of him to come over and sack Rafa in person

[McBain]

Will this hinder Rafa in the coaching and training of his team?

Rick Wormtongue Parry with forms no doubt

I suspect Gillette sees through Parrys veil of competence and wants to talk openly to Rafa, on his own.

Gillett has kept quiet while Hicks has been shouting his mouth off. Interesting that he is meeting Rafa on his own and is taking time out to see the Marseilles game. You just wonder if it could be true that Hicks might consider selling while Gillett is more long term.

Has anyone told the Marseille stewards?

Parry's phone is off - he doesn't even know there is a game coming up.

don't be harsh, they do tell you to switch your phone off at the pictures.
