Proper football man??? FFS!

 

Wouldn't trust him with a Subbuteo team!

[Red Kent]

Just as long as he gets his two week goalkeeping course in Barbados as part of his contract.

 

Unbelievable.

that bbc piece doesn't do justice to the full interview which is available on the radio 5 website. football genius and man of the people dave whelan (£250k donation to the conservative party election fund) said that the only reason rick parry obviously left liverpool was because he obviously didn't get on with the two (johnny foreigner) owners.

[Epic Swindle]

To be fair, Parry is a football fan and intelligent person with a decent reputation within the game, he's just not a very good CEO of a major football club. We also enjoyed a lot of success under him, even though his hands were tied a lot of the time by Moores' complete lack of vision and leadership and a boardroom stuck in a timewarp, although he deserves every bit of criticism for selling the club to the Americans.

Strange I thought he was a c***, with no vision, no leadership and no clue.

I agree totally, he is an intelligent person who was just not very good at the job that he held for 11 f***ing years! Intelligent because he conned everyone.

True summary, he is an able administrator but definitely not suited to a leadership role ala CEO

As for Moores.... rabbit caught in the spotlights comes to mind, completely out of his depth. History will and is showing him to have been the main destructive reason for the clubs current situation. Yanks are only a cause of his disastrous control of the club. Without Moores there would never have been the Yanks. Cause and effect.

The two owners which Parry was instrumental in bringing to the club so he'd get to keep his job? All his other buffoonery aside, that is the one legacy he is left us with for which I detest him. It was clearly in his self interest to sell our 'family silver' to Hicks and Gillett or he'd have done some background checks.

 

I mean, surely a professional businessman and CEO of a massive worldwide business and institution wouldn't sell the company they headed to two people they had no idea about would they? That would make him the most incompetent businessman in the history of the world.

 

I don't think he's that stupid, I think he covered his eyes and pretended not to look at what he was doing to us in his own self interests. He should never show his stupid f*cking curly head around Anfield again - he's absolute scum. Liverpool fan? He's obviously a Rick Parry fan above all else.

 

I wouldn't p*ss on him if he was on fire. And I hope to see the day I get to make that choice. Him and Moores should be strung up over the Shankly gates if they ever show their faces at Anfield again.

Get off the fence Leo.

what if you saw him on fire, but you didn't need a piss so couldn't be meaningfully said to have made a choice?

 

frustrating.

[KIDORIGINAL]

I can feel sympathy for Moores in some respects but I have nothing but resentment for Parry. He was a total f***wit and valued his own cashflow above 'his' clubs wellbeing. If Hicks has gotten anything right, it was telling the t*** to f*** off.

No sympathy for either. It was obvious what a couple of t***ts they were

 

Leo No 8 is spot on and well said. and anyone that thought Parry was okay while he was at the club deserves ridicule by default. You know who you are

Moores is a better red than plenty of people who sit on here gobbing about Lucas Leiva anyway. At the time, he could have sold to DIC (who had that document leaked and would have us in s*** now) or the two Americans. Too many fans were gobbing at him for the man not to sell.

Parry wasn't instrumental in bringing G&H to the club Leo. The takeover was handled by Colin Gillespie of Price Waterhouse Coopers. (I have in my hand their July 07 newsletter, "Dream Team Times", which has a self congratulatory piece about the great job they did managing the take over of LFC). All this stuff that gets peddled here about no background checks or why didn't Moores google Hicks is just silly. The Board paid PwC to do a job, they f***ed that job up royally yet continue to get away scot free.

Eh ?

[KIDORIGINAL]

Eh ?

 

He made the wrong decision, yes. Selling to Hicks and Gillett was the worst thing that has ever happened to the club but it was lose-lose situation for the man.

was it?

 

he could have kept the club rather than sell to these w*****s

 

and wasn't that document leaked by Parry in order discredit the DIC bid and make G&H more appealing (he probably wouldn't have got £4m pay off from DIC)

[Sion]

He clearly did no research into their past dealings. A brief look could have told you everything you needed to know.

And for that reason, he's rightly being vilified.

He could have kept the club but as I already mentioned, so many people were destroying him for holding on too long. If he hadn't sold to Hicks and Gillett, we'd no doubt talk about their offer in the same vain of the failed DIC shot.

This concept is beyond bizarre, a guy who is criticised for having no business nous - which he hadn't - is meant to override the recommendations of the Internationally renowned business advisors he hired to make recommendations to him based on googling some stuff.

Of course

[Kring]

Funny, I remember a couple of years ago when I wrote on here, I thought he was an idiot not able to run a football club, I was slaughtered for not being loyal, by a lot of the regulars.... Same s*** with David Moores. Just funny me thinks....

Is it as bizarre as selling your 'family silverware' based on the ramblings of greedy capitalist advisors with an obvious vested interest? without even researching for yourself or at least getting another impartial advisor to investigate? (who no doubt would have come up with the Corinthians stuff)

Selling to Hicks and Gillett was the worst thing that has ever happened to the club

 

96 people going to a match and never returning was worse.
