RAFAEL BENITEZ: "NISMO TRAŽILI LUDE STVARI"
RAFAEL BENITEZ 12. avgust 2017:
“We were not demanding crazy things.
“We were demanding to do
things in the right way…like we did with Liverpool, with Chelsea and all
the other clubs (I have managed).
“With a professional staff all working together.
“This
summer I was expecting other things, but okay we don’t have those
things, so now we have to move forward and I will do my best.
“Am I happy with what was going on in the summer? No, I think that we can improve and we can compete and do the right things.’
“What we have at Newcastle, which is different to other Premier League clubs, is the city.
“We have a city behind us – 52,000 every game, a good stadium and everybody is there.
“But what we could do, to save some money, we didn’t do it and now we are in a worse position.
“But
still, I have confidence that we can compete. One thing we have and
which I said last year and in the end I was right: we will compete until
the end.’
“I had two or three players, who came here because of me, they wanted to come here because of me and I couldn’t let them down.
“As you know, my family is in England and I decided to come to a massive club, with potential.”

MIKE ASHLEY: NEWCASTLE CAN'T COMPETE FOR TRANSFER
MIKE ASHLEY ZA SKY SPORTS:
“Every penny the club generates, he can have, but it won’t generate enough," said Ashley.
"It’s Newcastle United. It doesn’t have a £40million-a-year stadium naming rights deal, it doesn’t.
"So I don’t want the fans to watch this interview and think ‘that’s great, Rafa’s getting £150million in the morning’. He’s not.
"With
(United managing director) Lee Charnley’s help – and Lee Charnley
answers to Rafa, not the other way around, so we’re crystal clear – Rafa
makes all the final decisions on the players out and the players in,
but he has to do it with the money the club has.
“If you say to
me ‘I’m wealthy’. Well, OK. In theory I’m a whatever, a billionaire,
maybe even a multi-billionaire, but in reality my wealth is in Sports
Direct shares, which, as I said the other week, are like wallpaper.
"I don’t have that cash in the bank, so I don’t have that ability to right a cheque for £200million.
"I don’t have it. It’s very simple, it’s not there. I’d have to sell Sports Direct shares to fund that.
"So
people outside of football looking in and the way sometimes it’s
portrayed, is that those sort of wealth terms are in the bank – they’re
not.
"I’ve got to make it crystal clear that I am nowhere near
wealthy enough in football now to compete with the likes of Manchester
City etc and not just Man City.
"Basically, it’s a wealthy individual taking on what is the equivalent of countries. I cannot and I will not."

RAFAEL BENITEZ: I AM NOT HAPPY...
RAFAEL BENITEZ:
"The story is as I said before we missed some targets at the
beginning (of pre-season) and now we are trying to do our best with
what’s available.
"I can read our fans saying ‘Listen, now will
sign a £25million striker’. We cannot. Sometimes they are not available,
but if they are available the price is not £20million, the wages are
not the same, and the commission of the agents is huge. I think we will
try to do our best in the conditions that we are (in).
"I am not happy. I am not happy with it but at the same time for me, it’s a challenge and I will try to do my best.
"If
I decide to stay, it’s for the city, the fans, the stature of the club,
to stay in England and in the Premier League. So I want to do my best
but obviously every manager wants to improve.
"I’m happy with the players I have. The team spirit is quite good and hopefully we replicate that this season.
Asked to clarify the "if I decide to stay" comment:
"I
decided to stay.....because for me it’s a challenge......I’m not
totally happy with what we did but I will try to do my best, working
very hard with people at the club to try and improve what we have at the
moment.
"It’s very difficult (for me to leave). My Chinese is
not good enough. No I try to do my best now. It has to be something
you cannot control. At the moment I am fully committed to do the best
that I can do now.
"Our idea has to be one game at a time. To avoid relegation is a priority and after that to go as high as we can."
