Rafa free to spendLiverpool manager Rafael Benitez has been given the all clear to pursue his transfer targets after speaking with club owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
The Spanish tactician said: “We all agreed what’s important is for everyone to work together to do the right things for the club.
“That means changing the structure of the club and spending money on players — both young players and players who will go straight into the team.
“We have not talked about budgets, but I know the owners are backing me. That’s what is important and now is a time to be positive.
“It’s not just about buying players who might be more expensive but getting players for the right price.”
