Rick Parry has hit back at Tom Hicks

4 weeks ago 12th Apr 10:31

The Liverpool chief executive has hit out at the owners attempts to get him to resign.

Tom Hicks wrote a letter on Thursday calling for Rick Parry to stand down, just two days after the club reached the Champions League semi-finals.

On Tuesday, the Reds beat Arsenal to go through to the final four of the Champions League for the third time in four years.

But there was further disruption off the field in a season that has been disrupted by internal wrangling in the boardroom.

The letter is thought to have been prompted by a recent interview in which Parry urged Hicks and fellow co-owner George Gillett to end their dispute.

Gillett backed Parry and stressed the full board would have to approve any removal of the chief executive.

Hicks is presently thought to be trying to put together a financial package to attempt to buy out his American partner.
