Liverpool in no hurry to replace Rick Parry

Headhunters Odgers Berndtson were tasked with finding a replacement in June but, as yet, no appointment has been made. While Christian Purslow, a Spanish-speaking Liverpool fan, was named as managing director – purely on a "short-term basis" – it is believed Tom Hicks and George Gillett, the club's owners, are not concerned by the lack of progress. Sources have confirmed that, while a number of candidates have been identified, the Americans have placed no time limit on ending the search. Meanwhile Hungarian striker Krisztian Nemeth has been sent out on loan to Greek side AEK Athens. Nemeth, 20, who has not yet made a first-team appearance for Rafael Benítez's side will play in the Greek capital until the end of the current season. He said: "I am coming to a big club in a great city. I hope we can win the championship." The Under-21 international joined Anfield along with compatriot in Andras Simon in May 2007 after Benítez watched them at the Uefa Under-17 championships.
