Liverpool co-owner George Gillett was a surprise spectator for last night's 0-0 draw with West Ham.

It is thought Gillett was in Liverpool for discussions with manager Rafa Benitez over the Spaniard's proposed new contract.

Benitez said after the match: "George Gillett is here, but there is no news yet on the contract. We are waiting for further communication, we do not have that yet. We will finish our conversations soon and start thinking about football."
