Rafa: New stadium will give us more money to compete

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says he hopes he can lead the Reds into a new stadium, especially because of the financial benefits that will follow.

Rafa hopes a new 60,000-capacity stadium will go ahead so that he can have more funds to build an even stronger side.

He said: "It would be a dream to be manager when the move to the new stadium happens. It's still a while off but to lead this club into a new era excites me.

"If I stay for another three or four years then I would be happy to lead Liverpool into their new home. The atmosphere at Anfield is amazing but if we can create the same atmosphere in a bigger stadium it will be great because we need to make money to be able to compete with the top sides.

"If we can create investment without changing stadiums, fine - but we need more money to compete."
