Anichebe turns down deal worth up to 30,000 a week Summer departure expected as Everton insist offer is finalVictor Anichebe is on course to leave Everton after rejecting the clubs offer of a three-year contract worth up to 30,000 a week.The Nigeria striker, who grew up in Liverpool, has made only 12 appearances since February 2009 due to injury but has been offered improved terms to his contract, which expires at the end of this season. The 22-year-old has declined the deal, however, and, with Everton officials adamant their offer is final, is expected to leave the club next summer.Everton lost Dan Gosling on a free transfer to Newcastle United after the midfielder exploited their failure to put a contract offer in writing, and face losing Steven Pienaar when his deal expires at the end of the campaign. Anichebes anticipated exit would affect squad strength rather than David Moyess first-team plans, although Everton would be entitled to compensation for his development.Moyes has yet to decide whether to reward Jermaine Beckford for his late equaliser at Chelsea last weekend with a starting role against Wigan Athletic this afternoon, as he admitted the former Leeds United striker is still to adapt to Premier League level.Beckford has not started a league game for Everton since the home defeat by Newcastle in September and had been poor in front of goal prior to his 86th-minute header past Petr Cech at Stamford Bridge. Moyes, however, said: "His movement inside the box is as good as anyone Ive seen, and its the best of any of our strikers. That goal will be important for Jermaine because it was against the champions. It wasnt just any goal."But there was one later on where he could have played Jack Rodwell in for the winner and he shot over. Hes developing and ballooning it over the bar when we can go through for the winner isnt good enough for this level. We need to help him do that final bit, but hes improving all the time. I hope he sees that himself, and his link-up play has to become better."EvertonAndy Hunter guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Former chief executive denies rejecting offer from DIC The problem was that they didnt get on with each otherThe former Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has defended the decision to sell the club to George Gillett and Tom Hicks in 2007.It has been widely-reported that Hicks and Gillett assumed control of the club despite a rival offer from Dubai International Capital (DIC) but Parry, who along with then chairman and owner David Moores made the decision to sell to the American duo, insists that DIC were not in the running."It wasnt a case of us rejecting Dubai," Parry told Londons Evening Standard. "They were the preferred bidder but they walked away."The reign of Hicks and Gillett, which ended when Fenway Sports Group bought the club last year after a bitter court battle, was punctuated by public arguments between the two owners, between Hicks and Parry and disagreements between then-manager Rafael Benitez and the owners.The much-heralded new stadium in Stanley Park failed to materialise and the club struggled under the weight of the large amount of debt which was placed on the club by Hicks and Gillett. Parry believes much of the difficulty stemmed from the fractious nature of the relationship between the owners."I think one of the fundamental [problems] was that they actually didnt get on terribly well with each other," Parry explains.Parry left the club in 2009 and, despite the often haphazard nature of the Hicks and Gillet era, he feels that for a period of time at least things were going well."Dont forget and certainly until I left - which was 2009 - we were second in the league. The business plan was a net spend of 20m on players. And theyd over delivered on that. They took us pretty close to winning the Premier League in 2008-2009, within four points of Manchester United with a huge points total."So it wasnt all doom and gloom. Then, in 2009, for whatever reason, there didnt appear to be any net spend at all on the players. By which time they clearly realised that they probably needed to sell completely."Parry also stressed that despite what seemed to be a hostile relationship, he remains on good terms with Benitez."You dont get into the business if you want people who are easy," he said. "You want people who are winners. Hes very demanding and hes a perfectionist. But Im still friendly with Rafael."LiverpoolTom HicksEvan Fanning guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Romanov defends decision to remove Jim Jefferies Angered by pre-planned squeals from the media monkeysThe Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov has attacked the "fools and idiots" who criticised his decision to remove Jim Jefferies as manager.Jefferies left Hearts on Tuesday after rejecting Romanovs offer to become director of football, with Paulo Sergio appointed as his successor.Hearts finished third in the Premier League last season, but the club are without a win in 11 games, a run which was unacceptable to Romanov.The Lithuanian businessman told the clubs website: "Judging by the pre-planned squeals the media monkeys are making, Hearts has hit the point with the move. I believe that with only one competitive win in 15 games, only fools and idiots would not raise questions and suspicions."I now understand why Scotland is in 61st place in Fifa rankings behind such poor football countries like Lithuania, Albania and Gabon."In June Romanov, who has a history of eccentric rants since he first bought a stake in Hearts in 2004, said he was fighting an external campaign to undermine the club, lead by "maniacs" and "the mafia".Hearts guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]
