Gillett gives backing to Benitez
 Benitez signed a new Liverpool deal in March, which goes up to 2014
|
Liverpool co-owner George Gillett saysRafael Benitez's position as manager of the club is safe, despite the2-1 home defeat by Lyon in the Champions League.
Benitez wasjeered by supporters during Tuesday's loss but Gillett believes theformer Valencia boss is "absolutely as good as there is in thebusiness".
Gillett added: "Our family is extraordinarily pleased with him.
"The run of results disappoints the fans and it disappoints Rafa but we are in this together."
Gillettalso reminded supporters that Benitez signed an improved deal with theclub in March, which ties the Spaniard to Liverpool until 2014.
Benitez faced the wrath of the Anfield crowd when he substituted goalscorer Yossi Benayoun in the 84th minute against Lyon.
Liverpoolhave lost their last four fixtures in all competitions and defeat athome to Manchester United on Sunday would open up a 10-point gapbetween the two after only 10 matches.
"We've come back before and we can do it again," Benitez told reporters after the defeat by Lyon.
"We now must be ready for the next game. I have confidence we have the quality to overcome these problems."
Gillett, who owns the club with fellow American businessman TomHicks, has recently attempted to court new investment in Liverpool.
Earlierthis month, Gillett travelled to Saudi Arabia to meet Prince Faisal binFahd bin Abdullah al-Saud, who may acquire "anything from nought to100%" of the club, according to his aides.
Gillett and Hickseach own 50% of Liverpool at the moment but neither can sell shareswithout the other's approval and the relationship between the two hasbeen strained for some time.
Moves to introduce new investmenthave come in a bid to reduce Liverpool's ￡245m debt, with ￡60m havingbeen paid off over the summer.
Newspaper reports in early October suggested Prince Faisal may be willing to pay more than ￡200m for a stake in the club.
