There are strong rumours suggesting that the Liverpool boss will not receive the £100million transfer kitty has has asked for to rebuild the squad in the summer, but Gillett insists that all is well.
"I read that Rafa is throwing hand grenades at us and making demands," he said. "That there's a tension or disagreement between him and the Gillett and Hicks families - but nothing could be further from the truth.
"As far back as February, Rafa laid out a program for us and each one of our sports businesses has a core concept.
"You can't just flop around looking at opportunities here and there, go left, go right. It has to be part of an integrated plan.
"We have one at Liverpool, as we have with the Montreal Canadiens, one we understand 100%, believe in and support.
"The plan involves us spending money, but it will be part of a plan, not just spending like a drunken sailor.
"It's about partnership, teamwork and communication. It's not all about money."
