No deal

 

Rafael Benitez has rejected the contract offered to him by Liverpool. The club’s owner have refused to agreed with his demand that he will be given complete control of transfer matters.

 

 

"The owners feel that the manager's decisions need to be subject to the chief executive.

"But I know that I am subject to results and to our fans and they are the best judges I will ever have."

"I have a lot of experience in football at different clubs and if you do not have a technical director and you are the manager you have to have control of the football decisions. But always within the confines of a budget which is controlled by the owners and the club.

"In this scenario the manager knows the amount money he has available to him and can decide how much he should spend on each player according to the needs of the team.

"The only person who can decide the value of a player to his squad is the manager because he knows what elements are needed to improve the squad." – Rafa Benitez, Football365

 

Could be next year spells the end of the Rafalutions?
