Pat Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_3047200,00.html Arsene Wenger has increased the pressure on under-fire Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez by admitting a trip to Everton is now more of a challenge than playing at Anfield. Benitez has received heavy criticism this campaign as his Liverpool side have failed to live up to their early season billing of title challengers. And Benitez's future with the Reds has been thrown further in to doubt after club owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks revealed they held talks with Jurgen Klinsmann, who was recently appointed Bayern Munich boss, about replacing Benitez. Wenger has now fuelled the fires at Anfield by revealing playing Liverpool's Merseyside rivals Everton is a more daunting fixture. "Liverpool is the same kind of support but Everton is a bit more aggressive because Everton is up at the moment," said Wenger. "Over the last one or two years, especially, it has been one of the noisiest grounds and has a great atmosphere. "Liverpool is the same but now a little bit more genteel."

MikeO Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is understood to be considering whether to sue the club's co-owner Tom Hicks after he made the startling admission that he tried to line up Jurgen Klinsmann to replace him. Although Hicks claims the move for the former Germany manager was an "insurance policy" in case Benitez walked out on Anfield, the Spaniard is now weighing up whether he can take legal action against the Dallas billionaire for constructive dismissal. He is said to be furious at what he sees as another attempt to undermine his position, which comes just one month after Hicks and co-chairman George Gillett reassured Benitez that he had their full support. But following Hicks' comments, in an interview with the Liverpool Echo, the Spaniard's position now looks untenable. Oops . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
