Hicks questions Benitez

29 December 2007 - 11:01

Tom Hicks and his fellow co-owner George Gillett seem to be continuing their war of words with Rafa Benitez over transfer policy at Liverpool today. Hicks is unhappy that Benitez is so keen to add more depth to his squad in the January transfer window.

Hicks has had a well publicised problem with Rafa Benitez and vice-versa, with the American owners unhappy with Benitez's transfer policy.



"We wanted to see what we could do with the players we had already bought," said Hicks. "We just wanted to see if the team was going to gel. Then he (Benitez) went to a press conference and kind of pouted and answered in the same way 20 times: 'I'm focusing on my team.'





"The media made up everything from that point forward. They made up that we were going to fire him, that I told him to shut up, that there was a battle between Benitez and the Americans. It's really funny to watch."
