Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has revealed that funds will be made available to Rafa Benitez if the manager wishes to strengthen his side in the January transfer window.
“Money is always available if we need it” he said.
“We're not going to give our plans away, but if we need to do something, we'll do it.
“We spent more money this summer than ever before. The whole business model for the Americans is based on success.
“There is no point investing in a new stadium and having a team that isn't successful – clearly I'm not going to quote figures but there hasn't been any change of budget” he added.
Parry also moved to play down any talk of a rift between Benitez and the clubÂ’s American owners.
“Nobody is demanding we win the Premier League this year or any other year” he explained.
“But I think the supporters have an expectation that at least we are going to be in contention and there or thereabouts at the end of the season.
“We are still in contention without a doubt. If we can carry form into the New Year there's absolutely no reason why we can't compete.
“That's the goal for all of us. It's the goal for Rafa, for the supporters and it's a goal for the owners. It's absolutely a shared vision” he continued.
“We appointed Rafa because we wanted a manager with experience of winning a major championship. That's what we're aiming for.
“The recent meeting was extremely good. It was cordial and it was very, very positive.
“It gave us the chance to make sure everybody understands where everyone else is coming from. Now, we're just focused on the second half of the season.”
