Rafael Benitez twice cancels Liverpool showdown talks
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has cancelled two scheduled face-to-face meetings with the club's new chairman, Martin Broughton.
Benitez claimed on Monday that he was anxious to "meet with the chairman sooner rather than later".
But it is understood that he pulled out of talks with Broughton last week and another the week before.
A further meeting is scheduled for this week amid speculation about Benitez's future with the club.
Liverpool went out of the Europa League last week and have failed to qualify for next season's Champions League.
It is not clear why Benitez cancelled the meetings with Broughton, although the last two weeks have been affected by preparations for Liverpool's Europa League semi-final meetings with Atletico Madrid.
The first week in particular was heavily disrupted as Benitez's team were forced to make the long journey to the Spanish capital by road and rail after flights were grounded by ash from the Icelandic volcano.
