Hicks urges Benitez to 'quit talking'

Liverpool co-chairman Tom Hicks has put manager Rafael Benitez in his place by telling the Spaniard to “coach the players we have” rather than complain about not being able to make new signings.

The American has spoken out further after originally issuing a statement with joint owner George Gillett which said they wanted all the focus to be on the forthcoming matches and not off-the-pitch issues.
