Rafa Benitez believes that Liverpool are capable of winning the Premiership, but bemoaned the lack of financial support his board gave him after the club failed to sanction the £18 million signing of Gareth Barry.
âWe are here to win every trophy, but now we have United, Chelsea and City spending big, big money. Also this year, Aston Villa, and then youâve got the quality of Arsenal,â said Benitez.
âOur supporters need to know that we are always doing our best, but it cannot be a case of âoh youâve spent £20 million so you should win.
âWe spent £20 million on [Fernando] Torres last year and £20 million on Robbie Keane this year, and people are saying we have to win the title now.
âUnited has £20 million for Nani, £20 million for [Owen] Hargreaves, £18 million for [Michael] Carrick, £30 million for [Wayne] Rooney, £30 million for [Rio] Ferdinand, £20 million for Anderson, and some of these players can sit on the bench.
âPeople need to understand that it is not easy to win the title, so it is important to support the team and take the pressure away.â
