    Rafa - I'm here to stay

    Rafa - I'm here to stay
    Liverpool boss ready to extend contract with Reds

    Rafa Benitez is confident he will remain as Liverpool manager for a 'long time' as reports suggest he is on the verge of being offered a new deal at Anfield.

    The Reds boss' future has been questioned this season as Liverpool sit in sixth position in the Premier League and 18 points behind leaders Arsenal.

    Benitez, who joined Liverpool in 2004, also suffered a much-publicised bust-up with the club's American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks earlier in the campaign following a disagreement over transfer policy.

    However, speculation is mounting that Benitez is set to be offered a new contract to extend his stay on Merseyside beyond the year-and-a-half the Spaniard has to run on his present deal.

    Long-term

    And Benitez, who takes his side to Bolton on Sunday, is sure his long-term future lies with the Reds.

    "I have confidence I will be here for a long time - not just for two years," Benitez told Liverpool's official website.

    "I have 18 months left on my contract but I have a lot of confidence that it will be easier next season and I am sure the situation will change in the future.

    "I have confidence that we are progressing in the right direction. At this moment the only thing I have in my mind is to progress with Liverpool and try to win titles.

    Title drought

    "I am not looking anywhere else. I am really pleased here now and I think we will improve the situation in the future and that's why I want to stay for longer.

    "People ask me why I want to stay here. It's because I know we can improve, I know it's a massive club, it's a top side and we can progress. So I want to do my best and I think we can improve things."

    Benitez accepts that his side's only real aim is to succeed in the UEFA Champions League this season, but he is positive Liverpool can soon put an end to their 18-year top-flight title drought.

    "This year we can only work to win the Champions League and be in the top four," Benitez said in the Sunday Mirror. "But I am confident we can win the Premier League in the future.

    "We are disappointed to be so far behind this season and maybe it will take more time to close the gap."

    Just believe and you never know what will happen.

    According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

        Great future for the club - Hicks as chairman owning perhaps 100% of the club and title challenge expert Benitez as manager until 2012 - great times ahead for......Utd etc.

          Hmmmm he is the pawn that Hicks is using to appease the fans.... and Rafa is loving it... Bascombe was right, Rafa is in bed with Hicks.

          Does anyone really think he deserves a new contract? OK I may want him andI am biased but who really thinks he has done enough to get more than another 2 years?

            Given proper finacial backing and time to develope the youth team then the answer is "Yes".

              It's Rafa that use Hicks, not the other way around.

                  I thought it was a key and positive part of this interview, no

                  Basically, Rafa is saying that curently all is good with him and his position, something that was cleary not relevant several weeks ago

                    I'm sure Gerrard and Carragher aren't happy about this...neither are some fans I bet.

                    Glad to see Rafa backing Hicks and looking after the club he loves so much

                      Your a WUM.I really don't know what kind of thrill you get from people slating you off all the time.

                      Nothing you ever say materialises.You just try to manipulate everything else you read on the web and then claim insider info. You get slated all the time.Why do you bother?

                        Because it's a forum. Don't matter if people get slated, they can still give their opinion

                        He ain't a WUM mate. It's just that he's got an opinion that the majority don't agree with

                          I hate that arrogant viewpoint. "You disagree with ME - the almighty ME. Therefore you simply MUST be a WUM"

                          What arrogance

                          As for Rafa...well, most mancs & bitters seem to want him to stay. "Give him a ten year contract" they say. Tells the story better than i can...

                            With regards to opinions,he tries to convince peolple that he has inside info,just like the tick,tock bollox.He says it as it's fact and not just a formed opinion.

                            Anyway,piss off,i'm sure he can talk for himself.
