I have wondered this myself is he actually any good? At least we have a proper no.10 for a change.

So Newcastle increased their offer from £16 million to £23 million? Is Ashley dying or something?

Charnley currently tampering with the fax machine.

It probably increases the chances of Benitez staying or at least him talking about a new contract if this deal happens. He really wants Almiron.

He said yesterday it had fallen through.

Apparently Almiron has called The Magpie Group to call off the protests while negotiations are ongoing.

From Luke Edwards. I think Newcastle fans feel the same way as Joselu, but for different reasons.

Going to be a busy couple of days for him.

I don't think he will resign, but he should and leave the club in the shit. At the very least I hope he doesn't enter any new contract talks with Ashley because he has met Ashley multiple times only to be back stabbed over and over again. Ever since that January transfer window during the promotion season he has done everything in his power to plan properly and offer the club a vision and all they done is spat on his face and insist their old, failed ways are the road to success. Benitez has made mistakes, but the absolute arrogance to recommend their own signings to Benitez and more or less say his are shite is astounding considering the failure of their transfer policy.

From the Northern Echo.

I'm so tempted to take the day off Thursday and watch Sky Sports News all day.

Says on some websites he can play as a winger, I think I have seen some clips of him creating goals from out wide.

Should be played on the left wing instead of Kenedy.

Conte to Inter Milan next season.

I read today 71% of our revenue is from Premier League tv money. A few years in the Championship would really drive Ashley away.

Quotes like that won't exactly help him get the Man United or Real Madrid job if he's interested.

Salah must look back on that as a near death experience.

Their logic is so flawed. Get a good manager in Benitez, but fund him with bargain bucket signings or when Benitez is gone hire another McClaren,let him spend the money they won't allow Benitez to spend, but such a manager will decrease value of new signings.

If the club appointed another foreign manager in the summer with a half decent reputation like Gracia at Watford instead of another PFM, would that keep you interested for next season?

I heard that as well. That's why I think we need to be relegated and stay down before s change will take place. I remember during the Championship season the club said not getting promoted at the first time of asking would have bene a disaster for the club so it could push Ashley over the edge.

From The Chronicle.

Simon Jordan said a few days ago that clubs are usually only bought when in distress. I would actually be interested what Ashley would do if we got relegated and didn't make promotion the following season.

He would be dumb as bricks.

Well he had a good go at it with his team selection tbf It was pretty much the exact same team we played against Watford.
