He will stay...just have a feeling he will.

 

He will have certain demands and if the club meet them he will look at it as a season of rebuilding, challenge the cups and get the club pointing in the right direction.

 

If the board give him full control and give him the right amount of finance then he will stay.

 

Over to you Newcastle.

You'd think he was trolling if you hadn't listened to him before.

I absolutely know he's not trolling but it's still hard to understand someone being that thick.

Ando said that Charnley did not approach us but that Rafa's people did. 

 

So if true, it probably means that left to Charnley, he would never have been under consideration in the first place.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/12/newcastle-hopeful-of-keeping-manager-rafael-benitez-despite-rele/

 

Newcastle United have held a productive first round of talks with manager Rafael BenĂ­tez as hopes rise that the Spaniard will remain at the club despite their relegation to the Championship.

 

Managing Director Lee Charnley held a meeting with Benítez at the club’s training ground on Thursday afternoon and has made it clear he wants to do everything he can to keep him on as manager.

 

Benítez had initially said he would not stay if he failed to keep Newcastle in the Premier League, as he had no desire to manage in the second tier of English football, but he has shifted his position in the last few days and will now make a series of demands of Charnley and the club’s owner Mike Ashley.

 

If those demands are met – which include full control over recruitment, scouting and player development – the 56-year-old will ask for written guarantees directly from Ashley before committing to anything.

 

Sources close to the former Liverpool and Chelsea manager have stressed everything will have to feel and sound right before he gives his word about staying, but that Newcastle’s desire to keep him seems genuine.

 

Although Newcastle are acting with a greater sense of urgency after their second relegation in seven years was confirmed by Sunderland’s 3-0 win over Everton on Wednesday night, they have been urging Benítez to commit his long-term future to the club for weeks.

 

Charnley has come under intense fire following Newcastle’s relegation and there have been calls for him to resign.

 

The Newcastle Chronicle has urged the club’s former secretary to stand down on their front page on Thursday, although that is not going to happen. Ashley has also reassured his beleaguered managing director that he will not be fired.

 

Telegraph Sport understands there is a possibility someone will be appointed to help run the club alongside Charnley in the next few months, but Charnley’s loyalty to Ashley has protected him from the sack.

 

Ashley has never been pressurised into making any decisions by outside influences and while he accepts Charnley has made mistakes, he continues to trust him.

 

Club sources have told Telegraph Sport that Ashley will not be rushed into doing anything dramatic after relegation and the last thing he wants to do is leave the club without any day-to-day leadership at such a delicate moment.

 

As a result, he will give Charnley the lead in the attempts to keep BenĂ­tez and although that process will be a slow one, their meeting at the training ground went well and both have expressed a desire to come to a mutually beneficial agreement.

 

Further meetings will take place after Newcastle’s final game of the season against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, although there will then be a break in talks for both sides to ponder their next move. No confirmation on whether Benítez is staying or leaving is likely to take place until the start of June.

 

Newcastle supporters are likely to loudly express their desire for Benitez to remain in charge of the team against Spurs and it is the adulation he has received from fans that has been the biggest factor in tempting him to stay on Tyneside.
