Raconteur Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 A further round of discussions between club MD Lee Charnley and manager Rafa Benitez were scheduled to take place on Monday. Contact between both parties continued after last week's face to face talks, with written agreements regarding budgets and roles now drafted. In addition to pre-season plans, Benitez has also been consulted over the future of various players, with confirmation of those to be released, retained or extended, expected in the near future. Loving the bit in bold - Benitez had Aarons score for him and virtually froze Saylor out of the team. Hoping that means Rolando stays and Taylor goes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Rafa Benitez and Newcastle United have been in talks for more than a week-and-a-half now - and they have progressed to an extremely advanced stage. A comprehensive and complex contract is being drawn up and, though the lack of movement is frustrating, I understand there is no reason to be unduly concerned at this stage. My understanding is that Newcastle intend to hold a Press conference once the deal is finalised - which they hope will be later on this week. Benitez did set a two-week timeframe and, as seemingly with anything Newcastle do, the pace of developments have been agonisingly slow.

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Pako Ayesteran confirmed as Valencia manager, can only be a good thing as this was potentially one of the jobs that could have tempted him away Now it's up to Ashley/Charnley to not mess it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 A complex contract will have a lot of potential for breaches I'd have thought. It's ok though cos Mike and Lee are extremely competent and trustworthy and I'm sure they won't breach any of the conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueview Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 If they get a contract past the lawyers within two weeks I´m rather impressed.. In my experience they always contact you "next week" even if its a trivial change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we business folk love seeing how attorneys can turn 1 simple business concept into 4 pages of over worded text.
