Rafa defiant despite rumours
Rafa Benitez is remaining defiant despite rumours that the American owners of Liverpool are ready to sack him. The 1-1 draw with Luton in the FA Cup came as somewhat of a shock as Liverpool were absolutely dismal for 90 minutes; the result sparked rumours of Benitez's departure.
But the Spaniard said: "I love the club and the fans and want to stay.
"I have two years left on my contract and if I could stay for two years more, I would be very happy."
Asked if the club's American owners wanted him to stay, he replied: "The people who own the club? I think so. But every day do I need to ask them that question?
"I love the club, fans. I want to stay. We are working together trying to improve the squad now and for the future.
"All I think is that we scored a goal today and should have controlled the game, I don't need to answer questions about anything else."
