How can you sell them the club without doing due diligence and having no knowledge or business information on tom hicks no wonder we had all those dark days
It's the buyers that do due diligence not the sellers, it's to assess risk for their investment. The sellers do the best they can to make sure the people are up front and they seem to have tried to do this with Gillett. But there is no obligation for them to do this, or even for Hicks and Gillett to be honest with them. It's very limited what you can do as the sellers
While the first commentor is correct, you gotta also remember that a lot of club owners are often in debt and perhaps in a state of panic when by the time they have to sell.
Negotiation fatigue. They were working with DIC (Dubai international Capital) for 18 months until DIC missed deadlines for the steel order for the new stadium and the January transfer window and they got cold feet about them, Parry went to Moores house to let the boss of DIC to let them know that the board are thinking of going in an alternative direction and that's when Sameer Al Ansari the boss gave him an ultimatum to commit to DIC by 5pm or they're walking away and Moores thought he was tryna blackmail them which pushed them towards H&G and was accepted in six days of negotiating compared to 18 months with DIC. They just took their word on everything. But it was all lies.
The amount of disfuntional situations Benitez had to deal with under Hicks and Gilette, it's amazing Liverpool were even in a title race. Publicly offering the managers job to Klinnsmann for a start. Managers get plenty of excuses nowadays and yet Rafa wasn't even given the benefit of the doubt with those two cowboys. Parry is deluded to say the least.
There's a reason Parry is called Coco the Clown by LFC fans. Sold us down the river with Moores and totally inept. Sold all the houses behind the Dalglish stand (which means we now can't expand anymore), Took us back about 20 years with our 'commercial' deals, sold us to Hicks and Gillett....cheers mate
It’s astonishing to me that he only realised that Hicks and Gillet was going to be a disaster the day before the takeover was announced. How utterly naive from a man who at the time was considered to be one of the best football administrators in the business. I just don’t get it. And I didn’t get it then.
Like all people in football and corporate life, its ego. He won't admit that he was wrong or plain incompetent hence why he will slate everyone else. I'm beyond tedium at seeing and hearing this b.s which is the staple of corporate culture that has ruined life for the many. They f**k up, they just get another well paid job. No consequences. Just rewards. Working people don't fuck up but their existence gets ruined by the incompetence & largesse of "business people aka CEO's".
@@Vegan_Photographs Made many mistakes in my time fella, but not one that nearly destroyed one of the most successful football clubs in the World through sheer naive lack of due-diligence.

They did not have money to compete with the Premier league so they did their best to sell the club .gillett and hicks was bad luck for Liverpool fc in histroy YNWA
@@pauldalli7009he had no ambition, no interest in making the club a force, he actually said, if we finish in the top 4 every year I’ll be happy with that
@@liveanadventure429Is it any different under FSG? That con artist, Henry and his gang, seem content to qualify for the UCL. Winning trophies is a bonus and byproduct (when City and Madrid are not competing for them). Don't act like FSG build winning teams. Look at these clowns FSG Liverpool have in attack. All of them are cheap downgrades.
I really cannot stomach this man! Him and Moores did more damage to LFC than anyone in its modern history. The fact was not mentioned that Doug Ellis, showed Hicks and Gillett the door when their attempts to buy Villa was with borrowed money, a few months earlier than their grubby deal! Of course you liked Moores he gave you the job, this interview is embarrassing and shameful!
these times were my school days, parry and moores, always loved the club there is no question about that. This thing about fergie "got ya" on rafa's rant that only becomes highlighted by the brits. Klopp and Pep do this all the time, they don't go and collapse. Fergie could try any of this garbage on Klopp and pep nothing will happen, they would smash fergie's team after a rant!
Rick parry, ( if we finish in the top 4 every year I’ll be happy with that) awful chief exec, no ambition at all, the night we won the champions league in 2005 was asked about what that could mean in terms of the kind of players we could now attract and what that meant for us moving forward ( for us nothing changes, our priorities remain the same) after winning the champions league we signed pennant, kromkamp, crouch, zendan, Also said 7m for dani selves was ( too much )😂😂😂😂😂
"Got you,"... yet right after that so-called 'rant', Rafas Liverpool thrashed Fergies United 4-1 away at Old Trafford in a tactical master-class from Rafa.
Him and Moores are to blame, The UAE was there willing to buy and they chose to go with Yanks, look at City and know that would have been Liverpool if they were not so negligent
Of course he did , they all got there share how else could they not know this was a leverage buy out . These two American cowboys were known as the leverage kings . Absolutely no due diligence done by anyone
Fsg arnt much better. Look at the state of that cheap nasty ugly mishmash stadium! Nothing lined up. Nothing match’s. And made from cladding bought of Facebook for £12.50 a sheet. Looks like a child draw tbe new stands after looking at 70’s stadiums. Awful roof lines. UGLY UGLY UGLY Meanwhile look at Barca and Madrid etc. Embarrassing! Klopp has hidden their cheap bottom dollar ownership.
Yes. FSG have duped a lot of the fan base. But, people like us see through all those publicity stunts. Refusing to sign a centre-back during the defensive crisis (until Matip got injured) and not signing a midfielder during the midfield crisis cost FSG Liverpool dearly. Even, after the spending last summer, it's not enough. Endo is good, but he's not a game-changer like Bellingham, Rice or Rodri.
