Tom Hicks has promised Liverpool fans transfer activity next week and vowed the club will improve their Premiership record to make a serious title challenge next season.
The Reds co-owner was speaking in the wake of the new contracts signed by captain Steven Gerrard and his deputy Jamie Carragher.
But despite being confident there will be new signings and more current players penning new deals in the near future, he has demanded boss Rafael Benitez produce a "consistent" side next term.
Hicks, speaking on Sky Sports News, made it clear results must improve to compete with Chelsea and Manchester United.
He said: "Our goal is to play good football all season next time out. In the Premiership, you have to be so consistent.
"We lost far too many games on the road, particularly to lesser teams.
"That's the goal going into next season, to try to win those games that we have not been winning in the league.
"Only then will we be able to give Manchester United a good run for their money."
Hicks is also confident that revised plans for the club's new stadium will be revealed soon.
He said: "The design is now final, it's spectacular and I can't wait for everybody to see it.
"I think our fans will love it - it's very creative architecture, very contemporary but also unique to Liverpool.
Benitez returns from holiday at the end of the week keen to conclude new contract discussions with Jose Reina, Xabi Alonso and Steve Finnan.
And Hicks, added: "I would say to fans 'just be patient', because we're talking to Rafa often. We are going to sign some good players, some good young players.
"The academy is now under Rafa's control and that will also help us produce our own young players.
