Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has questioned the
need for loan deals in the Premier League.
Parry, who held a similar post at the Premier League before moving
to Anfield, believes the loan system could be abused and thinks
clubs are wealthy enough to make the practice unnecessary.
He said: "When I was at the Premier League we always took the view
that, given the money in the Premier League, you didn't need loans
- you should be able to stand on your own two feet.
"There is enough money around to make transfer deals
permanent.
"That stood over 10 years. It's only in the last two or three years
that we have had the loan system in the Premier League."
But Parry conceded that most of Liverpool's top-flight rivals did
not share his views.
"It worked fine without it. There is a sense that it can be open to
abuse. But clearly it was the will of the clubs to allow the
relaxation of it and clearly the majority are in favour," he
added.
