Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks will seek to replace chief executive Rick Parry if he wins the power struggle at Anfield — but manager Rafa Benitez will be safe.
Hicks was unimpressed by an interview Parry gave last weekend which he regarded as a crude attempt to force through a quick sale of the club to Dubai International Capital.
The Texan has given himself until the end of the season to find investors who would buy George Gillett's shares and leave him in sole control of Liverpool. But he hopes to have some positive news for fans once the club's Champions League tie against Arsenal is completed on Tuesday.
Parry has been chief executive at Anfield for 10 years and went along with the decision of previous owner David Moores to sell the club to Hicks and Gillett rather than DIC.
He now wants the warring Americans to settle their differences and said: 'If they're not able to co-exist then there needs to be a solution where one buys and one sells, or both sell. The ideal would be to move to as speedy a resolution as possible.'
Parry is closer to Gillett, who wants to sell to DIC, than Hicks. He and Moores watched the Champions League 1-1 midweek draw against Arsenal with Gillett's son Foster rather than Hicks, who enjoys Benitez's support.
Rogan Taylor is to ask DIC if his Share Liverpool FC group can buy a minority stakeholding.
