Liverpool in no rush to offer boss Rodgers new deal

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre insists the club are in no hurry for manager Brendan Rodgers to sign a new contract with his current deal 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 News.

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

"He's just started on a road, as we all have, to rebuild this club and bring it back to greatness," added Ayre.

"Hopefully if we achieve our Euro dream, then we will need bigger depth. We are talking daily with Brendan about this and others who deal with player recruitment.

"The owners are pleased with our progress. They will be over this weekend for the game away to West Ham on Sunday.

"It's great testament to them. We've had some tough days but the owners continued to invest in the club. Great credit to them for achieving what we are achieving."
