RIERA: BOARD DIDN'T WANT ME

Albert Riera has criticised the Liverpool board over the way he has been treated at the club and the power manager Rafael Benitez has at Anfield.

The 28-year-old was suspended by Benitez after publicly criticising the Spanish manager and has not played for Liverpool since March.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, the winger defiantly declared: "I want to leave.

"English clubs are run differently to Spanish clubs. In England you have a manager at the club and the board of the club has done nothing for me. The club has not fought for me.

"I do not want to quarrel, but if a club doesn't fight for you, that means they don't want you. I do not want to be in a place where I am not wanted."
