Rick Parry thread....

[bazza76]

I'm not sure that Parry has great faith in Rafa at all.

Why do you say that mate?

[SNFT]

i haven't laughed this much in years, there are probably about 15/20 different individuals responding to this thread, and i wonder how many actually have a clue at what being a chief executive involves? or for that matter, know what parry does?

lets jump on a bandwagon, use the phrase IMO, and spread wild accusations.

Parry's role nowadays doesn't seem very clear.

I defo think between this episode of Rafa losing it a bit, and also the one after Athens, that Rafa doesn't\can't\won't work with him, and sees him as not needed.

I think the problems are that Rafa and him barely work together at all, which can only make matters worse when trying to deal with new owners who are rarely in the country, and who seem to look favourably on Parry as their go-between.

I think eventually something will give, and as someone else suggested elsewhere, either Parry or Rafa will leave the club.

Rafa doesn't seem to have any faith in him being able to negotiate for what he wants in terms of players in\out, and I reckon he's tried to take on this himself, the G and H have let him know that Parrys still the man for transfer stuff and this has caused the latest problems.

So, while at the moment the problem is being portrayed by media as Hicks v RAfa, I think it really starts and is caused by the breakdown between Rafa and Parry.

Before takeover and Rafas outburst after Athens, both rafa and parry seemed quick to big each other up in public statements.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but these type of complimentary comments from each about the other are non-existant now.

Just suggests things have become completely unworkable between them.

But wasn't this exactly what appointing Foster Hicks /Gillett* supposed to avoid. Their man on the spot with easy access to the money men back in the 'States?

Even he's forked off, apparently

*Delete as applicable, I can be arsed to google it and will inevitably wrong if I try to guess.

I heard *rumours* of Mr.Parry badmouthing Rafa in the US.
I have no idea if this is true or not, and that's why I said I'm not sure if he does have great faith in Rafa.

If you were going to have a go at AFII just use his name, the clues are a bit obvious anyway.

[AFII]

First some people moan when I don't use IMO and then they moan when I use it.

Sometimes life is very confusing.

[MrMichael]

It's not about him being the fall guy, not for me anyway.

I just know he's earning a tidy crust and i dont know what he's doing to earn it.

Possibly why i was ASKING what he does, as opposed to making accusations, wild or otherwise.

But then, isn't your question really "What does the CEO of any football club do?".

Just because Peter Kenyon has a high media profile, all lfc fans seem to expect Parry to have one too. How many ceo's, not chairmen, football ceo's, can anyone here name (without cheating), let alone say what their jobs entail?

I wonder why Parry is so silent.

If he is a part of this, since Rafa has stepped onto his turf.

I mean, what on earth could be a strong enough motivation for Parry to out Rafa and set the club back for years!?

I think Parry wants him out as well.

In fact IMO I think Parry is the main man behind this.

But at what price!?!

I mean, what could be possibly worth setting us back a couple of years when it is starting to click?

First time in 20 years we are on the verge of something great.

Parry is an employee, so he would look out for his job, with his fat salary. It's justifiable, but Liverpool FC is no ordinary business.
