Liverpool In No Hurry To Replace Rick Parry


Liverpool face "no time pressure" to appoint a permanent chief executive to replace Rick Parry almost six months after it was revealed he would stand down, sources close to the club have claimed.

Headhunters Odgers Berndtson were tasked with finding a replacement in June but, as yet, no appointment has been made.

While Christian Purslow, a Spanish-speaking Liverpool fan, was named as managing director – purely on a "short-term basis" – it is believed Tom Hicks and George Gillett, the club's owners, are not concerned by the lack of progress.

Sources have confirmed that, while a number of candidates have been identified, the Americans have placed no time limit on ending the search.
