"Trouble on Tyne: Benítez and Ashley reach boiling point again at Newcastle."

Surely it cannot be true the manager and owner rarely speak, let alone meet?

"Bizarrely it is. Benítez and Ashley have met once this year, in May, and do not talk on the telephone. Instead Lee Charnley, Newcastle’s managing director, serves as a conduit, passing messages between the two. When Ashley made a rare trip to Tyneside to watch Newcastle lose to Tottenham on the opening day of the season, he departed without speaking to Benítez. Matters are complicated by the involvement of Justin Barnes, an abrasive lawyer and long-standing Ashley confidant, in club business.
Introduced in January, apparently to ready Newcastle for a possible sale, Barnes’s input is understood to affect transfers."

Benitez will be sitting in the dugoot today scribbling nasty words on his little notebook ..... "I hate that horrible Mike Ashley, I'm going to get him at playtime!!! "

Makes me laugh this comment. How about he stops filling the squad with shite and he can sign who he wants.

Manquillo, Joselu, Murphy are all on par or equal to what hes already got. thats 25m, theyd have benefitted more from a big 18m signing then any of those. Hes going for quantity over quality like weve seen time and time again, it never works out.

It really is like some kind of weird collective insanity isn't it.

Everyone up there who they like, no matter if it's a player or manager, is anointed with the 'honorary Geordie' oil :confused:

No matter which part of the country they're from, or even a different country, they only have to say '52,000' or 'Toon Army' and they're granted immediate admittance to the Geordie Nation.

'Wor Pav' man, it's f***ing hysterical :lol:

That's the exact point I keep making to the deluded fucktards. We can see the signs yet they blissfully bury their heads in the sand and mumble "Rafaaa" then witter on about how Ashley is "killing the club" by allowing Benitez to have wasted millions on absolute shite.
 
One of the sharpest businessmen I ever worked with was always hiring & firing so constantly interviewing ..... the interviews took a few minutes.

He once told me that, in a list people would give him for wanting the job, it was always the very last thing that was the truth.

"“When I said I would stay it was because of the city, the fans, the stature of the club, being in the Premier League and living close to my family,” said Benítez.
