Nothing personel, but I hate posts like this.

Obviously if he turns out to be spot on, thank you for the early news.

Talks beginning according to the offal:

 

Rafa Benitez today spoke of his delight after hearing that talks on a new contract are set to begin.

Co-chairmen Tom Hicks and George Gillett contacted the manager this week to offer congratulations on the team's progress and discuss a new deal.

 

Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I received a phone call from Tom Hicks on behalf of George Gillett also. They are talking about a meeting with my advisors and a contract extension. This is very positive news.

 

"We decided to meet in the next week and now my advisors are in contact with them.

 

"We haven't spoken about the length of the contract but we talked and we all want to find a solution as soon as possible.

 

"For me it's easy. I want to stay here - I am where I want to be. It's very simple.

 

"My family and I know how good the fans have been with us. The club is going forward and we have the new stadium project. There are a lot of positive things.

 

"I want to stay here for a long time. Clearly I would like to be here when the new stadium opens. The other day I was joking that if they offered me a 20-year contract I'd be really pleased."

 

Benitez added: "The team is in a very good position, so if I do not have to talk about my contract from now on it will be perfect.

 

"The last two or three press conferences I have been asked and asked, so the stability is really important.

 

"The owners know we are doing well. The atmosphere is really good, we are at the top of the league and our Champions League group. The team is playing well."

 

Gillett and Hicks are known to be delighted with the team's form so far this term.

 

A statement on behalf of the pair said: "Rafa continues to do a great job, we are really pleased with the progress of the team and we look forward to talking to him and his advisors about extending his contract."

Tony Barrett's on it in the Echo

 

“This is a positive movement and they gave me their word that they will make contact with my advisers within the next week."

Lets not get carried away just yet.

Nicely timed to help head off the inevitable Marca iinspired frenzy that will surely come as Madrid face into what could well be a winter of discontent for them.

Perhaps the potential buyer has indicated that they want Rafa to remain in charge and don't want tro risk losing him as the process of purchasing the club is ongoing?
