Rafa Benitez is considering legal action after Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock publicly questioned the Liverpool manager's integrity.
The Eagles boss was unhappy at Benitez at the back end of last season after he fielded a weakened Reds team that lost 1-0 at Fulham.
The result helped the Cottagers stay up at the expense of Sheffield United, who Warnock was in charge of last season.
Benitez made a host of changes for Saturday's game at Craven Cottage, prompting the Eagles manager to claim he gets off-field benefits from Harrods for his team selections.
However, the comments failed to amuse the former Valencia boss, who is now planning on having a word with his lawyer.
"Somebody told me [about Warnock's comments]," he said.
"We knew he was bad as a manager and prehistoric, but we didn't know he was a person like this.
"I will speak to my lawyer. We don't need to waste time with him."
