Rick Parry thread....

[red g]

Got to agree with you there. Been trying to remember what he said over the summer about funds etc though. I know most insiders got it wrong, infact I can't remember anyone getting it right.

its because wallet and whitters are not on here

[kopdan]

Do you?

Its hard to say to be fair

I think the problem is, nobody really knows who is doing what at the moment with GG, TH, FG and RP in the mix.

He's been very quite though.

Is he being allowed to do his job? No idea.

It does look as if he isnt doing his job but maybe he is and getting nowhere with the American Crew.

My view is that when Parry is good (at his job) hes exceptionally good, when hes bad hes a fecking disaster

There doesnt appear to be any middle ground with him

[kopdan]

aye

sums it up nicely I guess

Actually ES is friends with alot of players and staff and ex pro's, probably through Stevie but in the past he has given info from other sources and been spot on.

Not at board level. No one on the internet has sources that high up, don't care if they claim otherwise.

Don't remember any of them telling us that DIC were messing us around and that the Yanks were still in the picture, the opposite in fact.

There's one guy on RAWK who seems to be popular regarding this stuff, despite all of his predictions and snippets of info being wrong.

ES certainly gets the heads up on any transfers and personal stuff.

Plus he's an idiot who thinks Mascherano is crap.

If in doubt, blame Parry.

I like to think he must be doing something right judging by the type of rabid fools who hate him (see RTK)

Can someone post a list of trophies we've won since Parry has been CEO?

No it's not if in doubt blame parry, just i feel he maybe could have prevented some of this happening

Don't really see what a list of trophies would achieve they are won by the manager and his players, not the board. However we can probably credit parry with bringing in rafa which was a good decision, if he did in fact contribute to making it

[dww]

Could be very true, so may be they need to redefine his role and responsibilities? He doesn't appear to be the best negotiator around given how we've consistently been anally raped in the transfer market over the years (although this situation seems to have improved under Rafa). We know his pondering cost us Vidic and nearly cost us Gerrard.

All true, but if we're going to accept he does have certain deficiencies then surely we ought to bemoan them and look to fill that void somehow? Also, there really is no denying he has a ****ing horrible mess of a poodle head.

I think that redefining his role would be a good idea, however it is always hard to get people in high level roles to accept a reduction in responsibilities. I would hope that G&H have a plan to make a more cohesive unit on the transfer front and preferably to have someone more on the ball with negotiating deals consistently. Obviously he does have a mess of a poodle head but that never stopped Einstein.

For some reason I think Elisha knows what he is talking about, at least when it comes down to the Stevie G deal.

How the **** can anyone decide to go on a holiday when the Captain and our most important player want to sign a new deal. How long time would it take to sort that out, three, four days probably, but no, the holiday is more important.

We almost lost Gerrard because of Parry's ****ing holiday. What a joke.

While I agree to an extent Gerrard had been offered a number of decent contracts and was holding off and considering a Chelsea deal. He was not wholly committed to the team and at the time Rafa looked in two minds about whether the best option was to keep him or take the £30m.

The whole situation could be a lot more complicated than you indicate. It would obviously be in Gerrards interest to paint someone else as the root cause of the problem rather than his greed or desire for trophies at Chelsea.

Anyone heard what they are saying on other forums?

It is being alleged that Parry made an appearance as guest speaker at the Athenium last week and took the opportunity to publicly belittle Rafa in front of city businessmen 24 hours after the protest march.

Shades of Noel White, anybody?

Surely if he belittled Rafa in public it would've been in the papers by now

Maybe.

But equally, if he hadn't, why would decent, upstanding reds be claiming he did?
