Someone will go, but will they be from the boardroom or the dressing room?

The Liverpool boardroom soap opera continued today as George Gillett told his former buddy Tom Hicks to zip it, following his outburst at Rick Parry last week:

“I am saddened at this latest outburst from Tom. If he wanted a serious discussion on the issues to help the club move forwardhe should bring his views to the board and not to Sky Sports.”

While it seems that Hicks and Parry will not part with their 50 per cent stake in the club until the other is cold in the ground, something will clearly have to give soon. So who will be forced out first? Will it be a member of the board who gives in and packs up his desk, or will a member of the coaching staff or squad be forced out by the squabbling and politics? Votes and comments below, please.

In a shrewd move, Benitez chose to air some of his grievences after the weekend match - “I need to talk to the board as soon as possible and clarify the situation,” he said “I need to resolve questions and I want some answers.” The Liverpool boss probably knows that without the Champions League to play for, he’d already be toast. But this way, should it all go wrong against Chelsea, he can point to the problems seeping down from the top, but should his team repeat their 2005 success, he will look like the man who kept his head while all around lost theirs.

Once proud club currently being mugged like a pensioner

The Liverpool Echo is reporting today that George Gillett, half of the double act which has got supporters of Liverpool Football Club so steamed up, has turned down an offer for his share of the club that would have put a breath-taking £80 million in his pocket. According to mathematicians at the paper, “that comes to £203,045 for each of the 394 days … he has been co- owner of the club.”

Liverpool fans are generally of the opinion that 200 grand is more than adequate compensation for a day’s work, yet Mr Gillett clearly believes there is room in his pocket for more. The real mystery is what precisely Mr Gillett and his partner in greed Mr Hicks believe they have done over the last year to make Liverpool so much more valuable. Whatever it is, it can’t be related to the performance of the team, whose performance if anything has slipped backwards under their stewardship.

Perhaps it has something to do with the club having taken a step toward building a new stadium, which means they can start to fantasise about raking in the same kind of cash as Arsenal are currently banking. Without Champions League football, however - and Liverpool are currently flirting with a run at the UEFA Cup next season - that pot of gold may not be as full as they’d hoped, and Mr Gillett’s big lottery-winner’s cheque might not be there next time he looks. What the hell’s the matter with you, George? Don’t you like money?
