Remember Wayne Harrison? Or Richie Partridge? What about John Welsh? The likelihood is that some, if not all, of those names will sound familiar but certainly not as much as had been expected.

"At the moment I can't talk about the future long-term," he said. "I decided to stay last year because of the fans and for one year I have been working very hard, trying to do my best and we will see what happens in the future, because Sunday's game against Chelsea is the future now." Benitez admitted he had previously turned down 'massive offers' in order to remain at Anfield. "The fans are the main thing, the best thing that the club has. I gave my word because of them," he said. "I have had massive offers over the last year and I decided to stay because of them. "It's been a very disappointing season because we couldn't achieve what we were expected to, and still I'm here and I will do my best until the end."
