Rafael Benitez has today spoken of his desire to remain as Liverpool manager and insisted that "no-one" at the club wants to sell Fernando Torres or Steven Gerrard. The boss revealed he has held positive talks with Chairman Martin Broughton and will hold another meeting with the Reds chief...

Wilson has been linked with loads of big teams. And Shelvey who theyve also just signed has been linked with every big club in the league and rejected Chelsea last summer.

He was never ever going to leave before the end of Liverpool's season and it'd be wrong to have expected him to. Gazzetta today still seem pretty sure he's ours.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/may/06/rafael-benitez-liverpool-juventus-broughton Rafael Benitez will hold further talks with the Liverpool hierarchy to resolve his future after both parties exchanged "issues of concern" at a meeting in London yesterday. The Liverpool manager met the...

I think we'll get him. I think theres just media games by Liverpool and Benitez to make eachother look bad ahead of the departure. Liverpool arent going to want to be seen as willingly letting go a fan favourite. And Benitez isnt going to want to make it look like he's just walked out. This...

I love him, but its definitely time now. We need to move on. I wish him all the best, he was great for us and passionate.

BBC Radio 5 live have just reported that Benitez has had 2 meetings with Broughton scheduled recently but cancelled both. All his comments just smack of someone preparing the ground for his departure.

Theres going to be loads of "I want to stay" sort of stuff from Benitez this week, he plays the press very well, he'll make it look like he's been forced out.

Rafa's not said a lot, just refused to commit to Liverpool and said he hopes to meet the new chairman for the first time next week.

To advise Benitez on the squad or to manage Liverpool? Surely they wouldnt hire him!

The lap of the field looked pretty normal at the end of the game, didnt look emotional. Hasnt done an after match interview yet.

Yeah, Liverpool's season ends a week on sunday so I guess we'll see what happens then. Or maybe more tellingly what his reaction will be on Liverpool's lap of the pitch after their final home game of the season this sunday.

I doubt Balague would have slagged off Rafa, he thinks the sun shines out of his arse, they're close and he's even written a book on him. His Valencia team werent all out attack or anything but I think they played some sensational, controlled football with Baraja, Aimar, Vicente, Rufete and...

Agree with that. I'm not sure what people are expecting, we wont be getting Alex Ferguson, Wenger or Capello so what else is out there? Mourinho obviously manages our rivals and wouldnt be welcome here so what are we left with? Not much else but there is a man out there who has won the champions...

That is absolute rubbish, sorry but it is. Valencia played outstanding football. And while Liverpool have been poor this season they also played some incredible football last season and seasons before, they were battering everyone at the end of last season, Man Utd, Real Madrid, Villa, scored 4...
