Benitez happy with new owners

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez believes the club’s new American owners have “a clear idea” of how to make the Reds bigger and better.

The Spaniard met with George Gillett and Tom Hicks yesterday and, following their £470 million (€711.6m) buy-out of the club, he has backed them to help Liverpool challenge Manchester United and Chelsea for the Premiership title.

“We spoke a lot about the future of the club, and by the end I was very happy with what the people said. I was convinced they want the best for the club,” Benitez said.
