According to reports from the Daily Mirror, the Newcastle United board has ordered manager Rafael Benitez to stop moaning to the media.
Newcastle United grabbed a crucial 3-0 victory over West Ham United at St. James’ Park on Saturday but the win should not cover up the fact that the Magpies still need to strengthen their squad during the final days of the transfer window in order to stand a chance of avoiding relegation.
However, manager Rafael Benitez has found it very difficult to land his main targets due to the fact that the club have not sufficiently backed him in the transfer market and as a result, the Spaniard has not been afraid to make his displeasure known publicly.
It was expected that following such an admission to the media by Benitez, club owner Mike Ashley would back his manager but instead, the 57-year-old manager has been ordered to stop moaning and to get on with the job by the billionaire.
There is certainly a lot of tension between Ashley and Benitez and it would not be a surprise if the Spaniard were to walk out on the Magpies if the situation boils over.
The Mirror they are reliable NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The “board” is Lee Charnley, and he answers to Rafa. No evidence. No sources. No quotes. The only report mentioning anything similar was about Carragher, who said Rafa should stop moaning and get on with it. In fact, if you read what Rafa says, and has repeated several times, he has been backed to the extent that he agreed with Ashley. He thought he could do alot with that amount of money, turned out he couldn’t. He badly under-estimated the transfer fees and wages being expected to secure average Prem standard players. And he failed to secure Tammy Abraham on loan, meaning he would have to pay alot more money for striker(s). He said several times, “We made a mistake” early in the window, ie. Rafa and his team of assistants and scout, referring to the Abraham deal. There has not actually been one word of criticism of the “board”. He repeated over and over that he knew how much he was getting, it was very clear. Conclusion – False news.
