Liverpool Chief Executive Rick Parry
Just days after sealing a semi-final berth in the Champions League, news have emerged from Anfield that Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has written to the club's chief executive Rick Parry calling for him to resign.
The American is thought to feel that Parry is siding with co-owner George Gillett in the club's ongoing power struggle while the club's prospective buyer Dubai International Capital (DIC) said it will wait for the saga to be resolved before pursuing its interest in the club again.
Rick Parry may not be the most dynamic chief executive in the Premier League - he did, after all, sell the club to these buffoons - and there have been times where fans have been frustrated with his slow movings in the transfer market.
However, this just isn't the time to be airing dirty laundry with two vital games against Chelsea coming up in the Champions League and to qualify for next season's competition by securing at least a fourth place finish in the league.
According to the reports, the ownership of the club is split 50-50 between the two Americans thus Hicks would need approval from Gillett to force Parry out of his positionanyway. Unless he is forced, it appears unlikely Parry would want to leave the club he has supported his entire life on his own accord.
Reds fans across the world will be praying that this latest twist won't affect the team's preparation for the remainder of the season.
