da wazamba: According to a report in the Chronicle, Newcastle will give Rafael Benitez the license to spend this summer as part of a new deal.
da pixbet: With the exception of maybe Alan Shearer, you’d be hard pushed to find a more beloved man on Tyneside than Rafael Benitez.
In the same way he did at Liverpool, Benitez has endeared himself to the Toon Army with his class and composure, and fans want nothing more than to see him take the club to the next level.
Of course, most fans aren’t all that confident about the future even with Benitez, due to the ownership of Mike Ashley.

Ashley’s penny-pinching tactics have angered fans time and time again, but the Chronicle report claims Rafa’s new deal will come with a green light to improve the squad this summer.
The Spanish magician has worked wonders with the current Newcastle squad, and will probably want to sign a top class striker, along with making the loan deals for Kenedy and Martin Dubravka permanent.
Benitez has just one year left on his current contract, but Ashley is said to be relaxed about extending the deal, and is hoping the sales of players like Aleksandar Mitrovic, Henri Saviet and Chancel Mbemba can raise even more funds to invest.
Fans have been here before, and they’re pretty much all saying the same thing about the report. Find some of the best Twitter reactions below…
