Lee Ryder offers an update on Newcastle’s biggest concern

|

The prospect of losing Rafael Benitez is a serious worry for Newcastle. The Spaniard is one of the best managers in Europe, and in truth, he’s the reason why the Magpies have been able to stay afloat under Mike Ashley.

However, it appears as though soon, it could all be over.

Indeed, Newcastle expert Lee Ryder has recently been discussing Benitez’s future, and it doesn’t make for pleasant reading for Newcastle fans.

Speaking on the Chronicle Live’s ‘Everything is Black and White Podcast’ (via the Chronicle Live, 10:31), Ryder has revealed that at present, Benitez isn’t close to signing a new deal. 

He said: ‘With what’s on the table at the moment I think he would find it hard because the requests he’s asked for haven’t been given. It’s up to NUFC to renegotiate what they’ve offered him’.

It’s clear that the Spaniard is still some way to agreeing fresh terms, and that’s a worry.

Newcastle seemed to be going in the right direction in January, given the players that arrived, but if Benitez departs that will all be for nothing.

In truth, though, you can’t exactly blame the boss. The conditions with which he’s had to work have been tough, and if they aren’t going to improve, why would he stay? He’ll have no shortage of offers.

Unfortunately, Newcastle only have a few months to make this right before his contract expires.
