Ex-Liverpool CEO Rick Parry takes a SWIPE at Hicks & Gillet over their Liverpool success | Up Front
How can you sell them the club without doing due diligence and having no knowledge or business information on tom hicks no wonder we had all those dark days
It's the buyers that do due diligence not the sellers, it's to assess risk for their investment. The sellers do the best they can to make sure the people are up front and they seem to have tried to do this with Gillett. But there is no obligation for them to do this, or even for Hicks and Gillett to be honest with them. It's very limited what you can do as the sellers
While the first commentor is correct, you gotta also remember that a lot of club owners are often in debt and perhaps in a state of panic when by the time they have to sell.
The amount of disfuntional situations Benitez had to deal with under Hicks and Gilette, it's amazing Liverpool were even in a title race.
Publicly offering the managers job to Klinnsmann for a start.
Managers get plenty of excuses nowadays and yet Rafa wasn't even given the benefit of the doubt with those two cowboys. Parry is deluded to say the least.
There's a reason Parry is called Coco the Clown by LFC fans. Sold us down the river with Moores and totally inept. Sold all the houses behind the Dalglish stand (which means we now can't expand anymore), Took us back about 20 years with our 'commercial' deals, sold us to Hicks and Gillett....cheers mate
“In his lane” Rafa is a great man and a great manager. Show some respect.
It’s astonishing to me that he only realised that Hicks and Gillet was going to be a disaster the day before the takeover was announced. How utterly naive from a man who at the time was considered to be one of the best football administrators in the business. I just don’t get it. And I didn’t get it then.
Like all people in football and corporate life, its ego.
He won't admit that he was wrong or plain incompetent hence why he will slate everyone else.
I'm beyond tedium at seeing and hearing this b.s which is the staple of corporate culture that has ruined life for the many.
They f**k up, they just get another well paid job. No consequences. Just rewards.
Working people don't fuck up but their existence gets ruined by the incompetence & largesse of "business people aka CEO's".
Do you ever make mistakes and misjudgments? Things happen in life and hindsight happens
@@user-dm2nx4yu5o Made many mistakes in my time fella, but not one that nearly destroyed one of the most successful football clubs in the World through sheer naive lack of due-diligence.
Tbf he did say Hicks came in a week before. But that alone should have stalled any deal like.
I'll never forget the Liverpool Cowboy Boots on Hicks, you couldn't write it
Great interview were is the full show
Parry to talk like this about Rafa is outrageous. Parry was garbage at his job. No ambition and held our club back. Waste of skin the fella.
Yeah, but why didn't the fans chase him out?
Moores and Parry took charge of the most successful club, and ruined us.
They did not have money to compete with the Premier league so they did their best to sell the club .gillett and hicks was bad luck for Liverpool fc in histroy YNWA
@@pauldalli7009he had no ambition, no interest in making the club a force, he actually said, if we finish in the top 4 every year I’ll be happy with that
@@liveanadventure429Is it any different under FSG? That con artist, Henry and his gang, seem content to qualify for the UCL. Winning trophies is a bonus and byproduct (when City and Madrid are not competing for them). Don't act like FSG build winning teams. Look at these clowns FSG Liverpool have in attack. All of them are cheap downgrades.
Who did they take over from? Liverpool need to bring back the owners (or their children or grandchildren) who made them the best club in the world.
Oh, stop whingeing.
Selling to those two set the club back quite a bit imo. They sure made a fortune out of that purchase.
I'm not sure they actually did. I thought RBS sold the £300m debt that H&G had with them to FSG.
They made little to no money
How are fans not understanding that selling a club is nothing like running a club so why would they be good at it
Parry carried on his legacy in his role for the EFL. Nice and consistent.
Rick 'dodgy' parry.... He got that name for a reason..
Thought it was Rick Flair.
Biggest mistake in liverpool history selling to those cowboys
laurel and hardy i call them. cowboys is not good enough for them
these times were my school days, parry and moores, always loved the club there is no question about that. This thing about fergie "got ya" on rafa's rant that only becomes highlighted by the brits. Klopp and Pep do this all the time, they don't go and collapse. Fergie could try any of this garbage on Klopp and pep nothing will happen, they would smash fergie's team after a rant!
For those complaning about FSG be careful about what you wish for
David moores and Rick Perry were shite.
Liverpool have suffered poor owners directors executives etc for decades
Why didn't the fans do anything about it at the time?
I really cannot stomach this man! Him and Moores did more damage to LFC than anyone in its modern history. The fact was not mentioned that Doug Ellis, showed Hicks and Gillett the door when their attempts to buy Villa was with borrowed money, a few months earlier than their grubby deal! Of course you liked Moores he gave you the job, this interview is embarrassing and shameful!
"Got you,"... yet right after that so-called 'rant', Rafas Liverpool thrashed Fergies United 4-1 away at Old Trafford in a tactical master-class from Rafa.
Rick parry, ( if we finish in the top 4 every year I’ll be happy with that) awful chief exec, no ambition at all, the night we won the champions league in 2005 was asked about what that could mean in terms of the kind of players we could now attract and what that meant for us moving forward ( for us nothing changes, our priorities remain the same) after winning the champions league we signed pennant, kromkamp, crouch, zendan,
Also said 7m for dani selves was ( too much )😂😂😂😂😂
Him and Moores are to blame, The UAE was there willing to buy and they chose to go with Yanks, look at City and know that would have been Liverpool if they were not so negligent
Moores gave Jordan a pendant for being the owner of a small club? That is hilarious. Jordan is a good football man and he should run another club.
Rick Perry and David Moores an absolute disaster for Liverpool football club.
This horrific mistake nearly got us into administration and set us back at least 8 years and this idiot was culpable as anyone because of that
Another Tony Blair only different titles
Yeah, no substance, all bullshit
Dollars for donuts has a weird hate boner for Benitez. Strange fella in an invidious position
Success???
He sold the club to fools. He is shit when it comes to football
Stop messing about and get Roy Keane, Joey Barton and Stan Colleymore on.
How about taking a swipe at FSG for not building a team to win?
Rick Parry was absolutely useless anyway
Fruad......Parry got his cut.
Of course he did , they all got there share how else could they not know this was a leverage buy out . These two American cowboys were known as the leverage kings . Absolutely no due diligence done by anyone
Fsg arnt much better.
Look at the state of that cheap nasty ugly mishmash stadium!
Nothing lined up.
Nothing match’s.
And made from cladding bought of Facebook for £12.50 a sheet.
Looks like a child draw tbe new stands after looking at 70’s stadiums.
Awful roof lines.
UGLY UGLY UGLY
Meanwhile look at Barca and Madrid etc.
Embarrassing!
Klopp has hidden their cheap bottom dollar ownership.
100%👌👌👌👌👌
Wow, so you rather go back to 2010? Who do you think should own Liverpool?
Yes. FSG have duped a lot of the fan base. But, people like us see through all those publicity stunts. Refusing to sign a centre-back during the defensive crisis (until Matip got injured) and not signing a midfielder during the midfield crisis cost FSG Liverpool dearly. Even, after the spending last summer, it's not enough. Endo is good, but he's not a game-changer like Bellingham, Rice or Rodri.
@@deidredrakeBESTMofos who have ambitions to get Liverpool back to the very top and keep them there. The PL and UCL defences were underwhelming.
