Tom Hicks - Top class dickhead

I sat for a while thinking about the title and in the end decided it was best to go with how I felt. I'm sure I'm not alone.

While we continue to go from strength to strength on the pitch it is a real pity that one of our chairmen (although he might as well be the only one) continues to undermine Rafa, the chief executive, the players, the fans and everyone associated with the football club in the week when we are supposed to be remembering our 96 fellow Reds who we lost at Hillsborough.

He brings new meaning to the word despicable. There is lots to assess in this story since Hicks decided last week to let everyone know he had asked for Rick Parry's resignation and then went on to complete assassinate the character of the man through every medium possible.

Now a lot of Liverpool fans have little time for Parry but he does not deserve this public mauling. This is Liverpool Football Club, for christ sake this is a football club in the first place and these things need to be kept in house at any club.

But it appears the Texan can't help himself as he will continue to destroy the CEO in public and undermine the boss by giving an in depth interview to Sky on Wednesday. A day after the Hillsborough anniversary. Thoughtless doesn't even begin to describe this.

And where does this leave Rafa and his side? Well we showed no signs of being adversely affected by all this against Blackburn yesterday in an accomplished performance but it is clear that Benitez is very unhappy with this situation and is only now learning of Parry's involvement in THAT meeting with Jurgen Klinsmann.

Tom Hicks can back Rafa all he likes but if he continues to undermine him like this he will have no manager to back. Rafa will walk. He walked for far less at Valencia. He clearly loves this club and believes he is very close to something special and so do we.

But its like a in any relationship. You may love someone but if they hurt you it is inevitable that you will walk away. And that is what is so worrying about this whole sordid affair.
