      What Does Rick Parry Actually Do?
      Jan 23, 2009 06:22:00 pm
      This is my first thread that I have started so go easy on me!

      The reason I have to ask this is because I haven't got a clue what his role is in the club.

      And also it might actually be interesting

      I believe his official role is, to give it it's full title: official F***ing pr**k

      But really he is meant to deal with sponsorships and investments and all that I think. He just sicks his nose were it doesn't belong too much

      Rumour has it, Parry was THE reason that the Yanks took over and not DIC. So will that mean he'll have to have a say-so in the new Kuwait based takeover? I don't want his personal greed ruin this one too.

      He is sent to McDonalds every lunch time to get everone food, he probably makes the tea and then he changes the picture of Rafas head on the dartboard so that all the backstabbing bas**rds can entertain themselves instead of concentrating on the image of the club and the way it is being run...........

      He appears again in the evening wearing his mothers panties and stockings. Then he bends over and lets the yanks F**k him because they have been f***in everyone since they signed the decleration of independance.

      Oh I don't know if he shaves his legs though.

      I don't even think this is his responsibility now.  Ian Ayre was appointed Commercial director and should be in charge of stuff like that.

      I think Rick Parry was in charge of finding a suitable investor for the club for David Moores.  Well done Rick you useless c**t.

      And I think he is also responsible for ticketing.  Well done Rick, another blinder.

      I try to be balanced when I think about Rick Parry but for the life of me I can't think of a single thing he has done well for the club.  From failing to plan peoples contract talks so they're not left in limbo, to picking morons to take over the club, to shafting fans over tickets, and for preferring daytrippers over proper supporters?

      I can't stand Tom Hicks - but he was spot on when he said Rick Parry was terrible at his job.

      I'm not Parry's biggest fan and don't exactly know off hand what his job description entails, but I'll go on what I've read just to try and put a different look on it all. After all there's two sides to every arguement and Rick needs a defense as much as the next man, so without claiming "Parry is God" I'll just try and give him some backing.

      If Parry had a say in who David Moores should or should not sell to, surely he helped Moores in select the manager as well. In other words he had a say so in Rafa Benitez becoming our manager which 99% of fans are more than happy with.

      If Parry is solely to blame for us missing out on the likes of Simao/Heinze/Neill and god knows who else, surely he's worked on other transfers i.e. Torres/Reina/Skrtel and so on.

      If Parry has helped prolong contract talks for the likes of Kuyt/Agger (most recent cases) then he's also been involved in those contracts that have been signed without the hassle. I'm sure Reina has signed a new contract since the one he signed on day one, similar I'd think Xabi has signed an extentsion.

      If Parry is in charge of the sponsorship deals then I'm sure he's had a say in Carlsberg being our sponsor for the last 20 years almost. I don't know how long Parry has been at the club but it's certainly getting on a bit so he must of had some talks at some point about a new sponsor or renewing the contract with Carlsberg.

      So again I'm not saying Parry is worthy of a place in Liverpool's Legendary Boardmembers Club or that he is even good at his job, but people are too quick to say Parry is useless and done F**k all but pick up a pay cheque for his new car and all that. If memory serves me right, it was Parry who convinced Carlsberg not to run a deal with a certain newspaper, but most Liverpool fans overlooked Parry's involvement in that incident as it'd of meant them swallowing a bit of pride and actually giving him a pat on the back rather than a knife.

      Just to clear up, I don't really think Parry does his job as well as he could. All I'm trying to do is cut the fella some slack and show there are two sides to every arguement and both need to be expressed.

      seems to be a genuine question, so...parry is chief executive officer which makes him, effectively, the general manager of the business side of the club just as any ceo in any business

      now, whether he does it well is a whole other question..

      He doesnt do anything besides try and destroy the club. He is the inside man the double agent the traitor the one who sits behind a facade when he is pulling the strings and slowly trying to destroy us. We nearly lost Stevie G because of this man, we have incurred more debt because of this man, we have had to suffer ridicule and tirades of media abuse because of this man, and he has sold us to two of the most incompetant businessmen in the world. He is a selfish self centred little ogre with pubes for a hairstyle and the charisma of a cold wet fish. He cant even add up corretly even with all his maths and accountancy degrees. Numbers like 30,000,000 in debt is not as bad as numbers like 350,000,000 in debt in which he has lumbered us with because of his utter incompetance. This man should be executed shot at dawn or electricuted, lethal injection is too soft an option if you ask me. PARRY GET OUT OF OUR CLUB

      And he's also a ditherer.

      Heard a wonderful story yesterday, regarding Rick, Rafa and a list of potential signings. Robbie Keane was the third of fourth name on that list. Apparently above Keane was Barry and Rafa's top target David Villa.

      Now the story starts before the European Championships, with Rafa telling Rick that Villa is his top target, Rick goes and talks to Valencia, they offer Villa to us for £25 million, Rick for whatever F***ing reason, dithers, doesn't snap their hands off, when he contacts them again after the European Championships, Valencia this time say Villa will cost us £40 million plus.

      Maybe thats why Rafa is pissed with Rick, or maybe it's just gossip bullshit!

      Rafa always hints at these things - This has to be one of the funniest threads though.   Someone should start a Rick parry photo thread.... I'd love to see his ugly mug and laugh at it   over and over and over........

      It wouldn't hurt the guy to have one tiny shred of personality either.....  I'd enter him in the Most boring man in the world competition any day.

      Does he actually class himself a legend of the club..

      If only there were lynch mobs now Rick and his Yankee Wanky friends would be top of my list

      I think I mentioned that the other week.  He's actually pretty decent in goal. 

      We might concede a few more goals but I think our club would dramatically improve if him and Reina did a job-swop.

      How much truth is there in that Parry had more say in bringing and spending 20mill on keane than Rafa did. Surely Rafa has the final say on who plays here and who don't. The reason I have asked this is because if true Rafa is being totally undermined and used by a guy who for my liking should be spending more time on the phone to sponsors and less time getting in the managers face.

      Wont matter for much longer. The Septics can't hold out for much longer. The Arabs will soon be in charge.

      I don't know why everyone is slating Rick Parry, what has he done wrong? He does what he has to do...to keep his owners happy. This bi*ch does everything but do what is best for the club, not for himself nor the yanks.

      Mr R Parry has been given a unique title, from now on he will be known as Rick 'The pr**k' Parry

      He's an accountant (sorry accountants) but they are usesless at running businesses. He is probably the worst CEO in the league in the country in the fcking world. Cant we get him out.
