The Guardian's Andy Hunter claims: "Liverpool insiders claim the constraints have not been imposed on BenÃtez by the club's owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett. Executives believe players bought in the January transfer window are habitually overpriced and the club would rather save the income from sales to build a war chest for the summer. But there will be immense disappointment at the latest financial balancing act for a manager who last month confirmed the need to reduce the Americans' debt on Liverpool had taken precedence over investing in a squad that finished runners-up in the Premier League last season."
As a result, Benitez may even hold on to the likes of Ryan Babel and Philipp Degen for squad depth in the second half of the campaign. Benitez is believed to be wary of selling Babel to a fellow Premier League team in case he fulfills his potential in Engand.

Nice one Binny.
I can see the logic, January players are overpriced. However they're overpriced for a reason, cos it's immensely important for some clubs to get players in January. We are one of those clubs. If we dont get fourth we're in shit.

Our owners must be the worst businessmen ever.
A little investment in the player material, could see us securing 4th spot which again would generate more income.
Instead we're about to lose out on CL, and lose out on big money income. Fucking grade A stupidity.

These guys will sell Gerrard and Torres and Reina and......... if necessary to reduce the debt. Dont have any doubt about that

I suppose there are no guarantees that we'll finish fourth even if we do spend 'big' in Jan. It'd be mad to not bolster the squad because the players do need a lift (and a kick up the ass in some cases) but there might be an element of that thinking involved.
"the club would rather save the income from sales to build a war chest"
If we'd done a bit more of that in the last few years, we might not be in such a state right now.

TBF they wouldn't have had a choice if the banks demanded a sizeable repayment in the summer. The only alternative then would have been to increase the debt at totally extortionate rates.

The yanks should use the money we make to sack and pay off the chief scout. Hes a joke.

He's now one of the longest serving members of the backroom staff I think. He joined in 2006 from Valencia. Benitez seems to think he's pretty good then

I think goading him into an act of gross misconduct would be the cheaper option. Certainly worth a try anyway.
