George Gillett revealed in an interview this week that his relationship with Tom Hicks has long broken down.

With Dubai International Capital reportedly keen to launch a full takeover of the club, Hicks has so far refused to do business unless he can retain a controlling share, while Gillett appears more amenable, claiming DIC would be 'responsible' owners.

But Parry believes the row is damaging the club.

'I think it brings it to a head - clearly for the good of the club from where I sit,' Parry told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme.

'The hope will be that it's resolved quickly now, it's dragged on for long enough and the ideal would be to move to as speedy a resolution as possible.' Parry added: 'All things are possible at the moment - somebody's got to sell, that's clear. If they're not able to co-exist then there needs to be a solution where one buys and one sells, or both sell.

'There aren't too many other possibilities but it's pretty clear that to carry on with the status quo is going to be extremely difficult.' -- AFP
