Liverpool's chief executive Rick Parry insists that the fighting within Anfield is now over. Rows between Parry and Rafa Benitez over who would and wouldn't be signing for the Reds, along with the fallout between owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, threatened to see chaos decent. However Parry says that stability has been restored and everyone is now pulling in the right direction, as he explained to Sky Sports:
'Everyone is working together.
'Everything was relatively calm during the close season compared to the publicity at other clubs and now we just want to focus on winning games.
'There is a dialogue between the two owners on a regular basis. And they have been supportive throughout the last six months, especially in the transfer market.
'People forget that we have bought Robbie Keane and paid a huge fee for Javier Mascherano. So the commitment has still been there. They have been supportive through this transfer window and, at the moment, it is stable.'
Whatever happens we do not want any problems brought out into the open anymore, as far too much has been broadcast in public to see this famous club come something of a laughing stock all to often. Problems in the Anfield boardroom should, as much as is humanly possible, remain there from now on as most doesn't, and shouldn't be made public.
Parry also denied speculation that he could replace Brian Barwick as chief executive of the Football Association, he added:
'I'm still here but it's not about me. The story should always be the players.
In other Reds news out of favour winger Jermaine Pennant is being linked with a move to Stoke before the transfer window closes. A fee of £4m is being spoken of, and despite his desire to remain his future with the Reds looks very bleak, so there is a good chance he could go before midnight on Monday.
