Liverpool won Premier League (2009)
In 2007 new American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett provided funds to purchase players like Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano for Liverpool, but the tensions between Benitez and the American owners became public knowledge. Getting different arguments about various players, including Gareth Barry and Robbie Keane, created complex questions about who really managed the team.
The 2008–09 became the Liverpool's finest season since the 1980s and the team finished the 2nd behind Manchester United with 86 points, just 4 points below the champions.Liverpool also reach the quarter finals of the Champions League losing to Chelsea 7–5 over the two legs in that season. However, Liverpool had defeated Real Madrid 5–0 in the previous round. After the arrival of Robbie Keane in the summer, he returned to Tottenham 6 months later. At the end of the season Xabi Alonso was sold to Real Madrid for a club record transfer fee, Alvaro Arbeloa also left for the Spanish side and Jermaine Pennant and Sami Hyypia were both released.Chris Mavinga from Paris Saint-Germain, Glen Johnson from Portsmouth and Alberto Aquilani from Roma also joined the Liverpool in summer.
2009–10 season became an upset for the Reds, who under-performed their lowest finish since 1999 for much of the season and finished seventh in the Premier League, though fortunately they got victory in eleventh successive European campaign through the UEFA Europa League due to the fact that runners-up Manchester United were League Cup winners and champions Chelsea were in the FA Cup final (with their opponents Portsmouth unable to play in Europe due to financial problems). Rafael Benitez's job as manager had reportedly been under serious threat, with former manager Kenny Dalglish being touted as a possible successor , along with Fulham manager Roy Hodgson. Rafael left Liverpool by mutual consent on 3 June 2010.
