REDS DEBATING TOKYO INVITE
By Paul Eaton

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has admitted the Reds are still
considering whether or not to take part in this season's World Club
Championship.

As European Champions, the Reds are automatically invited to take part
in December's showpiece event in Tokyo, when the winners from the
different FIFA confederations meet for a week long competition.

Liverpool have been drawn to play either Deportivo Saprissa or FC Sydney
in the semi-finals of the competition, but Parry says the Reds must
decide whether it would serve the club's best interests to take part.

"The World Club Championship draw has been made," he said. "This is
something we are debating very carefully at the moment. It is a world
tournament that is prestigious but we have to balance that with the
potential of losing another domestic fixture.

"We are already facing the disruption of two Premier League fixtures due
to the Champions League third round qualifier and the Super Cup.

"All of this is down to the price of success and as we've discovered in
the past, you tend not to get a lot of sympathy for being successful."
