Roy Hodgson has dismissed the availability of Rafael Benítez as a threat to his position at Liverpool and does not believe the club would consider rehiring a manager they sacked with a £6m payoff only six months ago.

Benítez's departure from Internazionale last night, yet to be officially confirmed as the two parties discuss his latest severance package, presents another problem for Hodgson as he seeks to win over Liverpool supporters, many of whom remain ardent admirers of the Spaniard. Rumours of an Anfield return for Benítez have been fuelled by the fact he was at home on the Wirral when sacked by the European champions, although that is his family's only permanent place of residence and he made no secret of his intention to continue living on Merseyside when he left Liverpool in June.

Liverpool have new owners and the hierarchy that presided over Benítez's exit – Tom Hicks, George Gillett, Martin Broughton and Christian Purslow – are no longer employed by the club. New England Sports Ventures, the current owners, appointed Damien Comolli as director of football strategy largely in response to the expensive transfer mistakes of recent years and intend to give Hodgson time to correct the club's slide.

Asked if the spectre of Benítez complicated his position, the Liverpool manager said: "You would have to ask the owners about that but it's not extra pressure for me, not at all. It would be surprising [because] if he was the right man for the job then it would have been wiser not to let him go and then bring him back six months later.

"This job will always have lots of people linked with it. When you occupy one of the top jobs in the country, it would be very strange if other people were not linked with your job. I'm sure there are people who are very envious of my position and would very much like to take my place



No Roy ....if you were doing well then indeed I fully expect people to be envious ...... but your dying on your @rse fella ..its almost laughable listening to you first pleading for patience ,and now trying to quell the unease at having an  ex managers imposing shadow hovering so close ...................

Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down!
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

he actually speaks sense there, not that a g@bsh!te like you would accept it.
Lets sack Rafa, pay him millions, watch him destroy the best team in europe at the time...then bring him back

Hence Rafas huge grin while giving a SSN reporter a cup of tea, even in the face of embarrasingly losing his job as manager of a treble winning side. Second sacking in six months and hes laughing like a loon for the media? Knowing full well that Roy will be quizzed about his position and the possible return of El Maestro
Its a game and he loves playing it does naughty old Benitez...
