Time is not conducive to Hicks: According to his acquisition agreement with Gillette 14 months ago, Hicks does have priority to obtain Gillette shares on the condition that it will receive cash within 90 days of quotation of 200 million pounds (50% shares), while Dubai's offer is on February 27. That is to say, Hicks must raise funds before May 27 - only less than a month.

If Hicks cannot solve the funding problem by then, how can Liverpool fans who are already dissatisfied with him to tolerate losing Chen Yu's prospects because of his stubbornness? In addition, Hicks also needs to find another fund to complete the construction of Liverpool's new stadium. Liverpool's local MPs have asked the British Sports Minister of State to intervene as soon as possible to avoid affecting the development plan of the region.

In an unfavorable situation, in order to pursue the initiative and win the support of Benitez and fans, Hicks did not care about the team facing the test of the Champions League semi-finals. He revealed to Sky Sports that Rick Barry had two private meetings with Klinsmann, and he did not know about this beforehand.

"I didn't even know which god Klinsman was. Gillette knew him, and he called me and said we had a problem to solve it. Let's study Clinsman. I searched online who this person was. Gillette had already talked with him, and had angered with Rick Barry, and arranged an interview in New York, so I went to New York. But when I got there, Rick Barry had been talking to Clinsman for three or four hours. Gillette talked to me for another three or four hours, but later I talked to the reporter about the situation, and everyone thought I was the one who won over Clinsman, and this was not the case at all!"

Then Hicks attacked Rick Barry, hoping that he would resign as soon as possible.

"If you look at Liverpool under Parry, you will find that we are far behind other top clubs, which is a disaster. The new stadium should have been built 3 or 4 years ago... We now have only 2 to 3 main sponsors, and there should have been 12 to 15! We have not done anything in Asia, but Manchester United and Barcelona have gone."

"Under Parry's tenure, Liverpool never had a business department, which is why our revenue was significantly behind. We have a top brand in the world's football, but we have not commercialized it at all. Parry doesn't trust the business director Ian at all. Even so, Ian still organized a great team and restored good relationships with sponsors and fans."

"In my first meeting between Gillette and Benitez a year ago, Rafa told us that he missed many good players because he couldn't communicate with Rick Barry. Benitez was not in charge of the contract. He just handed over the negotiated players to the CEO, but after waiting for too long, nothing happened."

"Rick Barry has to resign. He has contributed his efforts to the team, but now is the time for change. A club must grow, and that's the key to your success. You should at least have the ability to work with the coach, right? I think Barry has proven that he can't. We need change and we have enough talent to choose from."

Hicks's disaster flow has reached its effect. Liverpool legend St. John said: "It is okay to manage the team by one person, and he is fully responsible. But if two people manage the team, what if there is a disagreement between the two sides? Parry should have been the bond between the bosses and Rafa, but he was discovered by Rafa and appeared in a private meeting... What will Rafa think? 'Wait a minute, he also hides a secret.' To be honest, I was shocked. When you hear that Parry also attended the meeting, Rafa will definitely feel isolated and helpless. Now, who can he get support from?"

Some Liverpool fans also joined the anti-Parry ranks. One fan left a message to the Sun saying: "Parry is not a popular person at Anfield, and most fans can't stand him. We hope the American boss gets out, but Parry is the person who is responsible for bringing Americans into the club. He is also responsible for almost losing Gerrard. I hope Parry gets out of Anfield with the Americans." Some fans said: "If Parry still has some love for the club and if he still wants to retain his dignity, he should resign immediately to avoid being kicked on the butt."

Under Hicks' aggressive offensive, Parry had to hold on. The day before the Champions League, he issued a statement saying: "Only the board of directors can make me resign. Hicks can't be alone. I'm responsible for the board, and the board hasn't discussed this with me. At present, I will focus on the club well because there will be a Champions League soon. If I can sit down and talk to Rafa, I would be happy. My resume in England and Liverpool is beyond reproach. It is inappropriate to let me comment on these allegations because it should be the area of ​​discussions by the board. In fact, continuing to publish this information in the media obviously does not help work at a critical stage of the season. Liverpool's way of doing this is not like this, Hicks obviously takes the Dallas Cowboys."

Benitez has been involved. He wants to study tactics quietly. It is impossible to lead the team to train. Benitez had to hold a press conference to respond.

To appease the fans, Benitez first said that he would not leave Liverpool at the moment. "I have two years of contract with the team. I am very happy here. I hope to stay. The matter of the board of directors has not affected me. We are all professionals. We know what to focus on and do well. After winning Fulham, the overall situation of the league has been decided. We are now all our energy on the Champions League against Chelsea."

Benitez then expressed anger at the contact between Rick Barry and Klinsmann, "This is not the first time I have heard of Klinsmann in private, but I have learned about some participants. I was surprised that some people appeared at the meeting, and I felt that I was being plotted behind my back. This is why I hope to talk to the board as soon as possible, and I hope to get clarification from the board or the relevant person. I won't talk to the boss at the press conference, but I will talk to them, if possible at the same time. I want to know more and I will ask some questions."

In the end, Benitez hopes that the fans and players will turn their attention to the field. Liverpool's opponents in the Champions League semi-finals are very strong. They need to concentrate and support from fans.

The most worrying thing about whether Chen Yu will be sold is the most. At the press conference, Chen Yu, who was in a bad mood by the club's messy things, also expressed his opinion. He said that he would not consider those off-court things. If the club is not ready to sell him, he would not leave Liverpool. He would lead Liverpool to create a great era with Gerrard.
