Newcastle sign a defender... Fernandez, for more or less the money left in the kitty from the sale of Mitrovic, so the fat Strauss invective has just pocketed the TV money (I forget how much that is, these days). I have no doubt that this will prove to be Rafa's last season in charge, just as I have no doubt that nobody else will buy the club (if, indeed, it was ever up for sale).
They did manage to hang on to Lascelles, though, but I imagine that he's only hanging around to see where Benitez goes next year, so that he can follow him there
The players are on a media strike over a bonus pay dispute with the rotund Strauss invective... refusing to do post match interviews and not turning up for the 'walk on' photo shoot that the TV bods use for the team sheet stuff
Not a happy camp. Thank goodness they have a nice easy start to the new campaign, and only have to stroll past the perennial underachieving mugs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City in the first 5 weeks, or the season could quickly spiral all the way down the plug hole
