Liverpool co-owners George Gillett Jr and Tom Hicks are still waging their war with each other; this time it was George Gillett's turn to hit out at his fellow American owner. Gillett was disappointed that Hicks raised these issues days before the Champions League semi final.

"Here we are, a few days away from a vital Champions League semi final match and Tom has once again created turmoil with his public comments," Gillett said. "Tom should stop. He knows that Rick Parry has my support and that airing his comments in this way will not change my position. His failure to discuss this with the board or the management committee is significant.

"I am saddened at this latest outburst from Tom Hicks. If Tom wanted a serious discussion on the issues to help the club move forward, he should bring his views to the board."
