Former Liverpool midfielder Steve McMahon, now commercial director of an investment company called Profitable Group, denies that he wants to buy Newcastle United. (AFP, 1648 BST)

BARRY TO PULL PLUG ON POOL MOVE?
Gareth Barry is reportedly ready to pull the plug on his propose move to Liverpool unless a deal is concluded in the next eight days.
With the new Premiership season looming, The Times claims that Barry is, understandably, worried that his long-anticipated transfer has still not been concluded. Liverpool's first bid for the midfielder was made in May and over a week has passed since Martin O'Neill reluctantly announced that Barry could leave so long as Liverpool met his £18m valuation. Yet, far from signalling the end of the saga, Liverpool's failure to contact Villa since then has raised fresh doubts about their ability to conclude the deal.
'Rafael Benítez, the Liverpool manager, has been waiting patiently for Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr to produce the cash promised to him last week, but that has yet to materialise amid rumours that the club's American owners have run into more financial difficulties, claims that were strenuously denied yesterday,' The Times declares.
The sale of Xabi Alonso would have financed the purchase of Barry but the Spaniard's exit cannot be sanctioned following an injury to Steven Gerrard. With Javier Mascherano on Olympics duty, Alonso will be required for next week's Champions League qualifier in Belgium. After also ruling out the sale of either Yossi Benanyoun or Dirk Kuyt, Benitez's hopes of raising the money required to recruit Barry will thus be dependent on selling Jermaine Pennant and Andriy Voronin.
The good news for Benitez is that Liverpool's transfer kitty currently contains around £10m. The bad is that he has yet to receive a single offer for either player and, according to The Times, an 'increasingly concerned Barry is not willing to wait much longer.'
raf999's delaying tactics working.
curry berry LL. not here not there and villa's team morale nosedived. hehehe

BENITEZ: I`M A VICTIM OF MY SUCCESS
Rafa Benitez has depicted himself as a victim of his Champions League success in 2005.
According to the Liverpool manager, the unexpected 'Miracle of Istanbul', coupled with a penalty shoot-out defeat of West Ham in the FA Cup final the following year, raised expectations to an unattainable level.
Reminiscing on the defeat of AC Milan, Benitez told The Times: "In some ways made things more difficult because the expectations became so high. Then we won the European Super Cup and FA Cup the following season and so suddenly everyone was saying, 'OK, the next step will be the Premier League title.' But then, when you don't win it, people say, 'Oh, you can't go to that next step,' when, maybe, we were operating at the next level up, but because the other teams around us were progressing as well, it didn't seem that way.
"In some respects, we were maybe our own worst enemies, but, of course, I'd prefer to have that problem, to be talking as a Champions League winner. People are talking now about us not having won the league for 18 years, but it was 21 years since this club had last won the European Cup."
Winning the league title has become Liverpool's Holy Grail and Benitez suggested that the time-honoured expectation that this 'will be Liverpool's year' was precisely one of the reasons why the club has failed to mount a sustained bid under his management.
"The key is not to say that we can win the title because it's clear that it's the most difficult league in the world to win. Look at the final of the Champions League last season, it was between Chelsea and United, who are at the top of the table in England," he explained.
"It's clear that we are going in the right direction and progressing. We have got good young players coming through who will be important, while those with experience are settling down now so it could be a very good season for us.
"Everybody can see that the team and squad is improving every year and that now we are much better, but will that be enough to win the title? That's the big question because it depends on the other teams as well."
