We have plenty of time in this season, I still have four years of my contract left and I still I have to talk to the new chairman," said the Spaniard.

"It (the meeting) is to talk about the future. Everyone is asking about my future but the future of the club is more important.

"Still I do not know what is going on in the club. I don't know if we will have any investors so there are a lot of questions - not just, for me, one question.

"For me the club has to answer a lot of questions.

"It is very clear: we have to wait and see what is going on. The future is maybe tomorrow or maybe one week; at this moment it is something we don't know."

Benitez refused to clarify his future at the club after Sunday's 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea which ended their hopes of securing Champions League football for next season.

But he expressed his frustration at the campaign which appears to be going on around him concerning his future.

He is unhappy about the way Juventus have publicly targeted him but also hinted there were maybe factors at work within Liverpool to try to force his hand.

"If I have a conversation with him (Broughton) we will try to keep it private," said Benitez in his now-familiar cryptic style.

"At this point we have to concentrate on next Sunday's game at Hull.

"There are too many rumours in the press and I know some people are just trying to create a mess.

"To be fair we were trying to our best last week, signing (Charlton teenager) Jonjo Shelvey because still we have the same mentality - to improve the club and do the best for the club.

"I try to do my best every day."

I'd rather have a new owner and the same manager than get a new owner and a new manager.

we need a fresh start. that means new owners and a new manager.

agreed

I think we need a new manager too and I hope any new owners will bring in a new manager, because I honestly cannot see Mr. Benitez leading us to the EPL title.

He has done all he can for the club and for that I say thank you and I think he sees in Juventus greener pastures and more money to spend.

...im with u fellas!

I think if we get new owners a new manager is inevitable. Its human nature to want your own choice. The only exception would be if Benitez were doing a brilliant job which he is not.

I think Benitez is very savvy poltics wise and he has sussed this out. I think he will go of his own accord.

The key is new owners its critical without them the club will be mid table for decades ahead or worse.

I would like a fresh start with new manager and owners but I think the most important thing is the ownership. If we get new owners quickly and Rafa wants to stay then maybe it wouldn't be so bad especially if he can get who he wants.

you very seldom will get who you want if you aint play champ league footie next season.

if he says he wants 5 players, then it depends who he buys, and who wants to come.

Ill be honst, i dont know much of the players currently being linked with us, like arda turan. So i cant comment.

Whoever he buys should be a A grade player, players in same bracket as torres, Gerrard, Reina etc.

if we going by forlan and other has beens, i wouldnt spend the money. More like Villa, Silva, Auguero is what im looking for the club to buy.

i don't think we need big big names like villa or silva. i wouldn't say no to them of course but imo arda is just as good as silva if not better and he would probably cost us half the price silva would.

what we need is players who actually can play some footie. players with good movement and pace and who can create chances on their own. we have far to many players in our squad who doesn't even look like footballers...
