Liverpool vice-captain Jamie Carragher has called for a stop to the constant public bickering between members of the club's boardroom staff in order to focus on the football.
The Reds have endured a season peppered with embarrassing moments and underachievement on the field, though after a dreadful near-elimination in the Champions League, they won back the fans with a run to the semi-finals in the competition.
However, what has constantly hounded the club and tarnished its reputation and integrity is the backroom drama. Co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett had a falling out after only being at the club for a year, with chief executive Rick Parry, manager Rafa Benitez and others dragged into the dispute.
Listing the various incidents over the past few months would be an exercise in futility. Suffices to say, the club has had enough, and Carragher is the latest to re-voice his opinion on the situation.
The hard-working stopper insists that to be a top club they need to keep behind the scenes matters where they belong: behind the scenes.
"The best clubs are the ones where you don't hear about things going on behind the scenes," explained Carragher. "That was always how Liverpool were run and that's what we want to get back to."
A spokesman for co-owner Tom Hicks has denied there were many problems with Hicks Sports Group which would force him to sell his stake, as had been suggested in recent reports.
