Pepe Reina turns up pressure on owners to quit LiverpoolTony Barrett
The pressure on Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, the Liverpool owners, has intensified after one of the club’s most senior players called on them to sell up.
Pepe Reina, the Liverpool goalkeeper, has revealed that his concern over the future of the Merseyside club has turned to a desire to see Hicks and Gillett bring their three-year tenure to a swift conclusion. His words represent the most outspoken verdict on the controversial Americans from inside the Anfield dressing room.
Reina wants the ownership saga to be brought to a head so that the club can move forward after a season in which failure on the pitch has been accompanied by mounting concern about Liverpool’s long-term ability to service the £351.4 million debt piled on to their books by Hicks and Gillett.
“Of course a quick sale is vital,” Reina said. “It would be simple as it would mean we could start planning for next season earlier. All that I ask is that if it is going to happen, then it happens as soon as possible to help the club.
“Of course, we worry. It is a bit of a concern and we need to sort out these kinds of things, like the sale of the club and the things with the owners. Once we settle all this, then we can begin to look forward and improve the squad.”
Liverpool remain up for sale but have yet to find a buyer and the ownership situation is just one of a number of uncertainties plaguing the club. Also still to be resolved is the future of Rafael Benítez, who has revealed his desire to remain as manager after being linked with Juventus for several months. He is now seeking reassurances from Martin Broughton, the chairman, that he will have the backing of the board to instigate an overhaul of his squad.
While prepared to concede that problems behind the scenes cannot be used as an excuse for a season in which Liverpool failed to finish in the top six of the Premier League for the first time in more than a decade, Reina insists that boardroom wrangling and financial concerns were a hindrance to their efforts. He wants to see significant changes at the top of the club to facilitate the kind of spending that he feels is necessary to make Liverpool competitive again.
“We cannot avoid our responsibilities,” Reina said. “We are the ones who play, so there are no excuses about that. Of course it did not help, all the issues with owners and the situations with the ups and downs with the money.
“It has been a really disappointing season. The only thing we can do is look forward and try to improve and build a competitive squad. We need to spend some on the squad so we can fight for a place in the top four.”Comment

Pepe Reina has thanked supporters who voted him as Liverpool's Player of the Season for 2009-10 – but then revealed why he hopes he doesn't retain the award next year.
Video: Reina on winning award>>
The goalkeeper enhanced his reputation as one of the world's best after a season in which he was an ever-present for the Reds in the Barclays Premier League, making 52 appearances overall, and claimed his fourth Golden Glove, jointly winning the accolade with Chelsea's Petr Cech.
Reina was your clear winner in our poll, collecting 75 per cent of the vote to see off competition from the likes of Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano.
However, the Spaniard admits it is with mixed emotions that he accepts the honour.
"I feel a bit mixed because when a goalkeeper wins this kind of award, it's never a good thing," he explained to Liverpoolfc.tv.
"Thanks to the fans, and of course I am really proud to win, but let's hope next season a striker or midfielder will get the award.
"People recognise my job and it's always good to hear that, but as I say we have to try to turn the attention on the outfield players and make my job a bit easier next season."
Reina admits he's satisfied with the high standard of his form over the course of the season.
However, the custodian accepts Liverpool underperformed at times in a campaign that was littered by injuries to key players.
"I am happy with the things I have done, but not one of us can be happy because of the season we've had," he said.
"No matter what you do, it's about the team. All of us are really disappointed.
"It's been a hell of a year with injuries. Fernando, Stevie, Glen, the centre-backs - we've been in a lot of trouble with injuries, so it's always difficult to prepare for a season like that.
"But it's no excuse - we should have done better and we didn't."
Video: Why Reina won it>>
Reina produced a number of memorable - and seemingly improbable - stops in 09-10, but it is an outstanding double save at Goodison Park in November he is most pleased with.
With the scoreline delicately poised at 1-0, the 27-year-old displayed remarkable agility to keep out a Tim Cahill header before getting back to his feet in the blink of an eye to thwart Marouane Fellaini's follow-up at point-blank range.
"Maybe it wasn't the best or the nicest, but it was an important moment and it is always nice to produce it in these kinds of games," he said.
Despite now being firmly established as one of the leading 'keepers in world football, Reina insists he is not prepared to rest on his laurels.
Asked which areas of his game he'd like to improve, the No.25 replied: "All. I have to try to be as complete as possible.
"That is why we work and try to improve every single day on the training ground. I am only 27 and there is still plenty of room to improve, so let's see if I can do it."

Reina shares the award, for most Premiership clean sheets, with Chelsea's Petr Cech, which is his fourth in five seasons with the Reds. The performances of the goalkeeper have been the only real highlight in a dismal season for Liverpool and it is a well deserved award for Reina.
here is with last years award
Outstanding achievement for a keeper in a mid table team

Seems like there will be no golden glove for Reina after all, they have decided to give it only to Cech because he has played fewer games

You're joking?Comment

That's crazy, if Pepe has played more games then it also means he's had more games where a side could have scored a goal.. that's my logic and i'm sticking to it..very unfair and bloody typical imo.Comment

Was reported on liverpool.no, they are reliable, also found the link above when I searched for it. Unbelievable
"The Czech Republic international conceded just 26 goals in the Barclays Premier League all season, providing a foundation for his team's attacking exploits.
Liverpool's Pepe Reina also managed 17 clean sheets, but Cech takes the Barclays Golden Glove due to having a better ratio of clean sheets to games played. "Comment
