Rafa Benitez has spoke out following Wednesday night’s 4-0 defeat to Braga, admitting he is now ‘really worried’ about our situation ‘off the pitch’ – also claiming he has ‘no idea’ how much money he has to spend or whether he is close to making any new signings.
If the 4-0 defeat to Braga wasn’t enough, these words really do show what a shambles our club is at the minute under Mike Ashley’s ownership.
Here are some of the comments that have emerged from his damning post-match interview:
“Things are not going well off the pitch… I’m really worried.”
“Fans are concerned – they have to be. We are concerned.”
“Our fans are very clever. They know what is going on.”
“We’re not doing things well on the pitch or off it.”
“This should be a wake up call for everyone.”
Here’s what he’s also had to say in response to questions from the Chronicle’s Lee Ryder and Sky’s Keith Downie after the game:
Rafa: “Things aren’t going well off the pitch.”
When asked what he said: “Everything.”
When asked about money to spend: “I have no idea.” #nufc— Lee Ryder (@lee_ryder) August 1, 2018
Rafa Benitez very low after tonight’s defeat, admitting he’s concerned with the new season just 10 days away. “We’re not doing things well on the pitch or off it. This should be a wake up call for everyone.”

My message to Rafa you have done wonders for our club, thankyou, just go through the motions , then leave with your head Held High, and that Arsehole ASHLEY loosing Millions as we sink into the championship.
To the fans sadly dont waste any more of your hard earned wages in any of Ashley’s shops , DON’T waste your money on season tickets, which will only fill that gready bastards pockets.
And to you Fat boy i hope you have a heart attack in front of our fans, so they can stand laugh and **** on you .

Need a demo similar to that of West Ham last season.
But more hard hitting

I wouldn’t be surprised if we played badly deliberately.
Only way to get the message across.
