He has dug his own grave - all he needs to do now is lie in it.
He needs some serious PR advice. I can't believe he was so quiet over the last 2 or 3 months? Well actually, I can believe why he was so quiet. He kept quiet as he most probably wanted to look after number 1 - himself.
Maybe he wanted to speak out but was too weak to do so. Maybe he wanted to say something but felt that he must keep the owners sweet, regardless of what happens to Rafa. That showed a lack of integrity and courage.
When Rafa stood up to H & G late last year,it looked like Parry sided with them. How do you think Rafa felt about that? There were rumours, lies and silly talk. Any other organization would of come forward and spoken out in the midst of the chaos, to clear the air and settle any doubts but oh no, not Liverpool with Parry at the helm. He was silent and let the Media have an absolute field day. In fact he only came forward (told to most probably) when he had to defend H&G.
How do you think that affected training sessions? The players all read the newspapers. If we get worried and anxious it must affect them too. There we were, exciting new season ahead of us. Great start in the premiership, then what? Talk of the manager getting the sack??
It's appalling the way the Clubs affairs have been handled and its all down to one person not have the strength of character to stand up to the owners. We are just left wondering what has happened to our club whilst suffering as its dragged through the mire for every journalist to jump on the 'lets have a swipe at Liverpool' bandwagon.
Admittedly he has allegedly fought alongside Moores to stop all the debt being off loaded onto the Club but that's too little too late.
Parry had a choice to make, back H&G and keep quiet and keep his job, hoping it will all blow over, or, stand up to H&G and possibly lose his job but walk out with the respect of the fans.
He had a choice. He chose to back H&G through all this. He's hoping for a change of fortune, that this will blow over but he can't expect the fans to respect him now.
There's no point saving your job if you're not wanted - best to move on.
