Rafa's resolution reply
Liverpool, 12:35, January 17, 2009 ,
Rafael Benitez has refused to commit his long-term future to Liverpool but says he has no problem with the club's American co-owners.
Benitez has turned down a new deal after Tom Hicks and George Gillett could not meet his demands for complete control of transfers.
Hicks has promised to work through the problem with Benitez and believes he will extend his Anfield stay beyond the 18 months remaining on his current contract.
But Benitez was non-committal when he was given the chance to address the fans on his situation at Saturday morning's press conference.
"I can say that I already have an agreement with one club and it is with Liverpool Football Club for one and a half years," he said.
"I was in contact with the owners with what was my idea and I explained why. I don't have any problems with the owners."
Asked whether he was hopeful there could be a resolution, he replied: "Hopefully. But the first time they told me they wanted to talk about an extension I told them I wanted to do it in one week.
"To do it for two months was not my idea and I don't want to do this so now I will finish and we will concentrate on football."
