Benitez sees Liverpool sale as positive step

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has welcomed Friday's announcement that the club is up for sale. The Reds' current owners, Americans George Gillett and Tom Hicks, have appointed Martin Broughton as chairman of the club, with responsibility to oversee the sale to new investors.

"We have a new chairman and he is in charge of these issues," Benitez said.

"At this moment, for me as a manager, I have to concentrate on the West Ham game [on Monday].

"I think the club is moving forward and that is positive. It is important for the club to move forward. It could be good news."
