Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has vowed to continue in his job, despite being asked to resign by co-owner Tom Hicks.

Hicks has written a letter to Parry calling for him to step down from his position as the boardroom battle at Anfield took another twist on Thursday.

Hicks is understood to be unhappy at the commercial performance of the club under Parry's stewardship and the American tycoon also claims that Rafa Benitez believes a lack of communication from Parry has allowed big-name signings to slip through the net.

Parry, who has been at Liverpool for ten years, is unhappy at how the news has come into the public light and he insists he will carry on with his job.

"Well I have not seen the letter. You guys seem to know a lot more about the letter than I do, which says something," Parry told Sky Sports News.

"My family saw it on Sky Sports, so they were delighted.

Dirty linen

"This week I shouldn't be the story, the story should be the team. It is offensive to the manager, players and fans in a week when we had another great European triumph there is more dirty linen being washed.

"No individual, certainly not me, is bigger than the club. The club will be fine but once again it shows there is a little bit of a lack of unity at the top.

"I am just getting on with the job, there is work to do."
