Brendan Rodgers has said there is no rush on discussing a new contract with Liverpool.

At the end of the season Rodgers will have just one year left on his deal at Anfield but with his side firmly in the title race the Liverpool boss is happy to put contract thought aside for now.

"We have done a good job, the owners are happy with how it's gone," Rodgers told Sky Sports.

"We will sit and talk and take it from there, but I would never want the club to be distracted by worrying about me.

"It is something I don't think the club should look at until the end of the season.

"I'm not crying for anything. I'm really happy here. It's an incredible club and if the title goes down to the last day then that's where it's at.

"I love being the manager here. I was asked about the contract in the summer but my only focus was trying to get the best players here and to keep Luis Suarez.

"I don't have an agent out there pumping stories about me not being happy. Let's just get to the end of the season and take it from there.

"There is no point in having any distractions now and I don't want any distractions. They are happy with how it has progressed. There's another year and we will take it from there. It's gone really well and I don't want to disrupt it."

Rodgers has impressed in his time in charge of Liverpool, with an early misgivings about his ability to handle the pressure of the role dismissed with a side that appears to improve with each passing month and with his handling of the Luis Suarez controversy of last summer reaping huge benefits as the striker has been the most deadly in the Premier League this year.

That success has been built upon a solid relationship with the club owners and Rodgers spoke of the patience the board have shown him, thereby giving him the space to build his team.

"The first six months, they were apologising to me, which is unheard of,” he said.

"They could see it wasn't quite coming off and obviously the results weren't there.

"But they were really supportive of what I was doing. They could see what we were trying to implement and they backed me all the way.

"We are going to be able to compete, we just want to do it in a different way. We may not have the level of money that will allow us to bring in seven or eight players, but we are going to be able to compete financially."
