Unpopular Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett will let the Anfield board decide on the future of Rafa Benitez, according to the News of the World.
There has been constant speculation over the future of Benitez, with Inter Milan the latest side linked with the Spaniard. Benitez himself recently said that he wants to stay at Anfield.
He commented last week, “I am very happy here in Liverpool.
“I have always been happy and I want to stay here for a long time – if it is possible.”
However, it appears that managing director Christian Purslow has been unable to give Benitez the financial guarantees that he wants over both transfer budget and the retention of star players.
According to the News of the World, the Liverpool board is questioning Benitez's performance in the last four transfer windows.
It is the board itself that will decide Benitez's future, as Hicks and Gillett have reportedly decided not to take matters into their own hands, given that they have put the club up for sale.
The American pair are joined by Purslow, finance director Phil Nash and commercial director Ian Ayre on the board.
