Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has revealed that funds will
be made available to Rafa Benitez if the manager wishes to
strengthen his side in the January transfer window.
Money is always available if we need it he said.
We're not going to give our plans away, but if we need to do
something, we'll do it.
We spent more money this summer than ever before. The whole
business model for the Americans is based on success.
There is no point investing in a new stadium and having a team
that isn't successful clearly I'm not going to quote figures but
there hasn't been any change of budget he added.
Parry also moved to play down any talk of a rift between Benitez
and the clubs American owners.
Nobody is demanding we win the Premier League this year or any
other year he explained.
But I think the supporters have an expectation that at least we
are going to be in contention and there or thereabouts at the end
of the season.
We are still in contention without a doubt. If we can carry form
into the New Year there's absolutely no reason why we can't
compete.
That's the goal for all of us. It's the goal for Rafa, for the
supporters and it's a goal for the owners. It's absolutely a shared
vision he continued.
We appointed Rafa because we wanted a manager with experience of
winning a major championship. That's what we're aiming for.
The recent meeting was extremely good. It was cordial and it was
very, very positive.
It gave us the chance to make sure everybody understands where
everyone else is coming from. Now, we're just focused on the second
half of the season.
