Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has spoken of his desire to stay at Anfield despite the boardroom battle between co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
Benitez's position has been thrown into doubt over revelations the American duo and chief executive Rick Parry held talks with Jurgen Klinsmann last year.
But on Friday the 48-year-old Spaniard reiterated his determination to honour his contract, which runs until 2010.
"I'm really pleased and happy here and want to stay," he said.
It was originally thought only Hicks talked with the former Germany coach, who is due to take over at Bayern Munich at the end of this season.
However, reports claim Parry also attended the meeting in New York - but only after after being told to by his American bosses.
The chief executive is understood to have had serious misgivings about the meeting and its potential effect on the club if news of it leaked out.
The relationship between Hicks and Gillett broke down some time ago, leading to civil war breaking out at Anfield.
Hicks wants Gillett ally Parry to quit, labelling his tenure a "disaster".
But Parry has the support of Gillett and a majority in his favour among the club's six-man board.
