Rafa Benitez hopes Liverpool's owners will sort out his future and avoid a Valencia style crash.
Benitez's Reds have made a flying start in the Premier League despite the Spaniard's future still being in major doubt.
His contract expires in the summer of 2010 and even though he met co-owner George Gillett in London there have stil been no discussions about an extension.
Benitez has been here before and his old club Valencia suffered bitterly from this kind uncertainty.
He had guided the unfancied side to a La Liga title in 2002. But there were no talks about his own future and having won another title and the Uefa Cup in 2004, a frustrated Benitez left for Anfield that summer.
Since then Valencia have had four permanent managers and have failed to build on success.
Benitez said of his current position: "After improving the squad for five years we know that we are very, very close to having a fantastic team and I want to be part of the future."
