Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)
Now reading "Epic Swindle", I'm only on page 39 but it's embarrassing how poorly our club was run under Moores and Parry, complete amateur job
The last section alone is bad enough. Saying that Moores decided to sack Houllier, the rest of the board agreed. The next thing on the agenda was meeting with Houllier to go over the season and discuss plans for next season. And they did. Despite just agreeing to sack him, they actually sat there and went over the season, then spent the next two hours discussing how he'd put things right at the club!
When asked why Moores hadn't sacked him yet, he said he couldn't do it that week because he'd invited Houllier's family to the Lake District, he didn't have the bottle to actually tell him and a week later, it was Parry who had to do it.
It also mentions that people wanted to buy things from the online store. But if stock ran out, it needed someone in the Liverpool shop to manually update the online store to say there was still stock. So even though the warehouse was full of shirts, if this one particular batch ran out at 6pm, nobody in the world could buy a shirt until someone noticed when they got to work the next day at the shop!
Unbelievable and really shows up how poorly we've been managed in the board and how our commercial side was pretty much non-existent. No surprise that we haven't won the league for so long really.
