LIVERPOOL FC PRESS STATEMENT

[Redzion]

Liverpool Football Club announce that Mr Noel White has resigned from the Board of the Club with immediate effect. The move follows Mr White's confirmation that he was the Director quoted in an article which appeared in a national newspaper last week.

The Club's Chairman Mr David Moores said: "This is very sad for both the Club and Mr White who has been a valuable member of the Board for 21 years.

 

“However, the Board considers that the statements made do not reflect its own views and that this is not the Liverpool way of doing business. The proper place for debate is around the boardroom table.

 

“It is vital that we pull together at all times whether on the field or off it.

 

"It has to be said that at the first available opportunity on the day the article appeared Mr White was completely honest in telling me that he was responsible for it. He recognised that this made his position on the Board quite untenable and he did the honourable thing by resigning.”

 

Mr White said: "It is with great regret that I have tendered my resignation as a Director of the Club.

 

“For the 21 years I have had the privilege of being a Director of this great institution my guiding principle has been to act in the best interests of the Club.

 

“In view of the controversy caused by comments in a national newspaper, attributed to an anonymous director, and the effect this has had on the Chairman, my fellow Directors, the Manager and many supporters, I feel the honourable course is to resign. Indeed, my guiding principle dictates that this is the only course.

 

"It was never my intention to cause such controversy, nor did I envisage that my remarks would receive such widespread coverage. I recognise, however, that I must take responsibility for my actions even though the outcome was not what I intended.

 

“I have always received a great deal of support and friendship from the Chairman, the Board, the Club and staff and I hope and believe I have reciprocated. I continue to wish them, the Manager, the Players and all associated with Liverpool Football Club every possible success.”

 

Both the Club and Mr White now regard the matter as closed and will be making no further comment.

well in davey

Seconded well in Dave for outing this shitehawk.

[Kenny D]

Great, really love "the liverpool way" quote.

[Juniper]

He did the decent thing in the end. Shame he couldn't stop from shouting his mouth off in the first place.

[23CARRAGOLD]

There's a nice little space on the board for a possible investor now. Old Davey Moores can offer a better package (no pun intended) to an investor in the club. :party:

[dave u]

Seconded well in Dave for outing this shitehawk.

 

 

I think he was referring to Moores, but thanks anyway!

[kop]

I think he was referring to Moores, but thanks anyway!

Didn't they both? :whistle:

[Jurgens Red Army]

Good riddance.

[Guest Raddy]

quite sad really that it's had to come to this. he should have known better though, that's the bottom line. you can't have board members at big clubs airing their views in public, even if it is only their opinion.

[dave u]

It's not sad at all. Fuck him.

[Sangria]

Good bye and thanks for the service. Sad it had to end this way but it did, with his experience he should have known a lot better. He has paid the price and deservedly so.

[Redzion]

Will this leave the door open for morgan?

[Sangria]

Will this leave the door open for morgan?

 

My guess is it would leave a space on the board but wether that would be Morgan, is anyones guess.

[kop]

It's gonna be Dave. Usher for President! Wohooo!!

[Barrington Womble]

Will this leave the door open for morgan?

 

no, it's irrelevant. Moores decides who the directors are - he will just get someone else he trusts or perhaps not even replace white. for many years we only had 6 directors anyway.

[bossy]

Had to be done.

[WaltonRed]

Good Riddance,my best mates dad has always had a strong dislike for Mr.White something to do with his involvement in Kenny's resignation.

 

Thanks for the 21years,good bye dont let the door hit your arse on the way out.

 

As for Moores well done for doing the right thing,you get a lot of people putting you down but you handled this with the grace and honour befitting of our great club.Lets get on with business on the pitch now and forget this ever happened.

 

As for Morgan taking his place,wouldnt it be lovely if he just accepted he can never be chairman but he can have his place on the board and more input and everyone gets on with working towards number 19.wishful thinking eh?

[Nunavut Patrick]

DT owns a share, put him on the board.

 

He'd make damn sure there's an all Scouse Kop at the new Sheihk Kraft Gillet Field.

[spider-neil]

DT owns a share, put him on the board.

 

 

wouldn't djimi struggle with board duties and playing for charlton

[chrisbonnie]

that Noel white ejit certainly didnt act in the Liverpool Way with his mouthing off the a fucking tabloid, but good oul Moores certainly acted the way we expect ANYBODY associated with our club to act,

 

he didnt go spouting shite when the backstabbing was printed, he didnt say "ill sniff this little rat out" ,nope, instead he did in the correct fashion, bringing dignity back to the club, fantastic work by the board here!!!

 

that`ll give Rafa a massive boost, and rightly so :thumbup:

[7dalglish]

very pleased, just the way things should be done.

[Cardie]

He did the decent thing in the end. Shame he couldn't stop from shouting his mouth off in the first place.

 

I'd imagine he was given an option

 

A) Be allowed to save face and jump

B) Be removed

 

I doubt he just decided it was the right thing to do.

[Anny Road]

A line has been drawn.

New stadium?

New traditions. NO.

[kopitegaz]

Goodbye Reg Holdsworth, you will (not) be missed.
