Liverpool chief Ayre confident over Rodgers contract

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre is confident Brendan Rodgers will not be tempted away from Anfield.

The manager himself has stated he is comfortable waiting until the end of the season before agreeing a new deal and Ayre is similarly unfazed at the prospect of delaying negotiations, with Rodgers' current contract running until June 2015.

"It's never been an issue. We will have our own dialogue at the appropriate time, we will have that discussion. Right now isn't the time," Ayre told Sky Sports.

"We don't want a distraction. That's a private matter. I know Brendan, myself and the owners are all very comfortable with that."
