Can't remember old thread title but just read this from bascombe BENITEZ: KEEP ME AND WIN Benitez seeks assurance over his future Rafa Benitez STICK WITH ME: Rafa pledges good times By CHRIS BASCOMBE, 01/11/2008 RAFA BENITEZ has told Liverpool’s indecisive owners: Secure my future and we’ll go from strength to strength. But if Tom Hicks and George Gillett let Rafa walk, the Reds could suffer the same reversal of fortune as Valencia. The Yanks are stalling on his contract, which expires at the end of next season. And they should have a chat with Atletico Madrid’s sporting director Manuel Llorente at the Champions League clash on Tuesday. Llorente worked with Rafa at Valencia but failed to secure him a new deal in 2003 which led to him leaving for Anfield. In three years at Valencia, Benitez won a UEFA Cup and two La Liga titles. They have won one Spanish Cup since his exit. And he said: “I spoke to George Gillett but not about the contract. I’m really pleased to be here and in the future the squad will be better. “I’m waiting as I’d like to be here for a long time. We’re close to a fantastic team so I want to be part of the future. “I’ll do my job and if they talk to me I will be pleased. If not, I’ll continue to do my job. I left but Valencia could have won more as it was strong.” Rafa wants security to plan and the longer he is left hanging, the more restless he will become.
