TALKS FOR BENITEZ
13/05/16
Rafa Benitez met Newcastle United managing director Lee Charnley on Thursday for initial talks over the Spaniard's future, according to Sky sources.
We also understand Benitez is seeking assurances from the club hierarchy, including having full control of transfers.
It is thought the three-year contract Benitez signed in March included a release clause should he not manage to preserve the club's top-flight status - but Newcastle Fans' Forum, a supporters' group, plus the Newcastle Chronicle have called on the Spaniard to stay on.
