Inside war at Liverpool

Filed under: European soccer by: Football Highlights

It looks llike one of the Liverpool owners, Tom Hicks, demanded the executive Rick Parry to sign his resignation.The reason? The american billioner considers that Parry made a pact with the other owner of the club, Geroge Gillett, Hicks having different points of view of administrating the english club than Gillett.
This scandal couldn’t come in a “better” moment for Liverpool, knowing that a semi-final in the UCL against Chelsea is comming and the 4th place in the Premier League that they are on now doesn’t quite please their fans.
