Benitez anger at pay rise claims
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has hit on claims that he demanded a huge salary increase in his contract negotiations.
Benitez is the agent to speak with Reds owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett on a new agreement to replace its current, who is 18 months.
"I was surprised to read that I am demanding more money. This is not true," said the Spaniard.
"I told my agent when he visited the talks not to talk about money. The last question was about the money."
There are suggestions the owners were only willing to offer Benitez a two-year extension with Benitez clearly wanting more.
He explained: "The question is about the length of the contract, and after that it was my role.
"We talk more (years) now, and we are pleased with the talks.
"So when you see things said (money), it is people are not telling the truth or that people have very bad information or they want to create disorder.
"I was very disappointed with that. I repeat, this is not true. I am not asking for anything, just tell my advisers to go to the meeting and hear what they (the owners) want. The owners have been talking about an extension.
"I said, people have very bad information. I hope it will be resolved as soon as possible, but I do not know when."
