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.

Edited October 31, 2006 by anny road

[Mad_Fer_It]

maybe steve morgan paid him so that we would be a boardmember short!!!

 

no THERE'S a conspiracy!

[Billy Dane]

exactly, but it didn't seem to stop some people saying it was him.

[Paul_LFC]

Great news, Rafa has the last laugh.

[LFCNeil90]

I think its worked well to show the support that Rafa actually has - he had to go.

[Figaro]

Not good enough

 

he should have been tarred and feathered or at least treated like a dog

[Mad_Fer_It]

When you think about it, dogs get treated pretty good... makes you think doesn't it...

[Grimes]

 

?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.

 

 

Is this some kind of parting shot? "What I said needed to be said", maybe I am reading too much into it

[M4TTA]

but but but Forum lore said it was Steve Morgan?!

Many a post and many a site reported N.White as the culprit.

People initially thought morgan., but realised he wasn't a board member so it couldn't have been him.

 

Echo the posts about they way the club have handled this, and it must give Rafa a nice glow inside that the board are behind him and wont take any s*** from anyone not showing they back the manager.

 

Result tonight will top this off

[smithdown]

Good for Rafa and good on the board for reflecting the common view in the stands.

 

Imagine this happening in Spain?

[Stevie H]

F'ckin right, I expected nothing less from moores

 

Brilliantly handled to be honest and this must give rafa a huge boost

 

You don't f'ck with the man who gave us number 5 or you f'ck with us all noel yeh senile arl f'cker - shut the door on the way out

agree, splendidly handled by the club. keep your dirty laundry indoors.

 

good riddance to bad rubbish.

[Andythered]

Daft thing to do either off or on the record. Should have known better. Been on the board since 1985. Has probably given a lot, put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. A big shame. No need for the abuse that nomarks on here are dishing out.

Mr Moores is our leader.
