PARRY HONOURED WITH DEGREE
Liverpoolfc.tv 28 June 2008

Rick Parry will be rewarded for his services to football on Monday morning when he will receive an honorary degree from the University of Liverpool.
The Reds Chief Executive will take his place alongside the likes of Elvis Costello, and Jose Manuel Barroso - the President of the European Commission - as well as over 4000 students at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall where an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws will be conferred upon him.
 
Parry, who has been at the helm of the club he supported as a boy for over 10 years, is delighted to be receiving recognition from a University that is so close to his heart.
 
He said: "I am very proud to have received such a prestigious honour and am extremely grateful to the University of Liverpool for awarding me the honorary degree,"
 
"Having graduated at Liverpool University in 1976, and in a city that means so much to me, this will be a very special occasion."

Even that won't keep your job you clown.

Can I have one? I think I've done more for the club!

I buy shirts regularly, I go the match regularly! I even bought a gnome from the club shop!

Congratulations, Rick.

Thanks for all the trophies won under your time as chief executive.  And thanks for head-hunting Rafa Benitez from Valencia.  Great work, sir.

PS - just a pity about the Hicks/Gillett episode 

What next? :

Will this be a leaving gift?

What did he do? WTF

Often thought that Rick could do with going back to school.

Congratulations, Rick.

Thanks for all the trophies won under your time as chief executive.  And thanks for head-hunting Rafa Benitez from Valencia.  Great work, sir.

PS - just a pity about the Hicks/Gillett episode 

Yeah also thanks Rick for making us lose top priorty players over the years.  Do I dare to name?  Essien, Anelka, Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Daniel Alves and probably tons more that was done under the radar.

Thanks for employing these clowns, David Moores also deserves a special mention, I bet he's bathing in that 'dirty' profit that he made right now.  Thanks for winning nothing and making 0% contribution to any achievement this club has had during your 'reign'.

And famously from the mouth of the great Tom Hicks that you have made us fall behind with commercial revenue, sponsorship deals and the lot. 

You're that much of a toss pot that even Tom Hicks said you aren't and never have done your job!!!

I bet that Degree would look nice framed on your wall along with all the other circus awards you have.   

What makes me calm though is that the education system has improved since 1976.

This has to be a joke... simply got to be a joke.

I deserve one more than him!!!!!

is this someone's idea of a joke?had me in fits of laughter!!!!

  Cheers Crrouchinho i left school in 76 and I'm not that bloody stupid, well i hope not anyway.

Was only a joke mate.

Will wonders never cease what a frekin joke honestly, this is a sure fire sign of trying to make Parry look more of a tw*t than he already is.

 Its a pity they do not give degrees and honours for stupidity and greed then Parry and Moores would of graduated with honours for selling our club to Tom and George.

Can I have one? I think I've done more for the club!

I buy shirts regularly, I go the match regularly! I even bought a gnome from the club shop!

Didn't he get paid enough money for serving football in so uch as it was his job??? Why does he need to be rewarded for it as well. I would have done his job just for the money, he will be wanting a blue Peter badge as well now. It takes the piss.

PARRY'S PRIDE AT HONORARY DEGREE
Jimmy Rice 01 July 2008 from lfc.tv
   
Rick Parry has spoken of his pride at receiving an honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Liverpool.
The Reds chief executive donned a cap and gown to pick up his honour from the Philharmonic Hall on Monday.
 
Parry, a Liverpool maths graduate in 1976, said: "I have very fond memories of Liverpool University and I've seen it from both sides. Seeing all the new graduates outside, I can recognise what they've been through.
 
"It's a day for them, not for me. But it's a great honour being given the degree from the university I attended in the best city in the world.
 
"It's really very special and was such a shock and surprise when they told me. I studied hard for three years for my degree, but I haven't had to do any work at all for this one.
 
"When people ask me about my career, I've never thought about it; I'm always looking forward, football never stops to pause and think.
 
"There have always been a lot of other people involved in everything I've done and it's been a privilege to have 10 years at the best club in the world.
 
"Being involved in the formation of the Premier League was exciting and great fun. It was a challenge. Times have moved on and it's fiercely competitive. The fact there were three English teams in the Champions League semi-finals shows the strength of the English formation."
 
Meanwhile, Parry has again outlined that the Premier League remains a top priority for everyone at Liverpool Football Club going into 2008-09.
 
"Our standards are very high, as is the standard our fans demand. Winning the league, that's the prize we're all striving for," he said.

Why they give it to him? WTF

it would be really good if we could get behind our club.

of course we all dislike the yanks at the top.  But Rafa, Rick, the coaching staff and our players deserve a lot more support than some are giving them.

I can see where Liverpool University is coming from.

His service to football is as a perfect example of how not to run a football club.

it would be really good if we could get behind our club.

What exactly has Parry done to deserve any support?

What exactly has Parry done to deserve any support?

he was instrumental in bringing in Rafa from Valencia.

despite not winning the title, we have consistently won other major trophies across his tenure (FA Cups, league cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup, etc)

he has kept our wage bill well down (unlike many other clubs).

some *fans* need to get some perspective.  Yeah sure, I am not Rick's biggest fan either, but I do know that he doesn't deserve most of the hatred and abuse spewed at him.

Parry an honour  what is the world coming to?

the only honour he deserves is the honour of leaving the club and having liverpool on his C.V
