Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez has provided a worrying update for the fans in an explosive press conference earlier today.
The Spaniard explained that the club’s off-the-pitch problems have started to affect their on-pitch performances and it was evident during Wednesday night’s 4-0 friendly defeat at Braga in northern Portugal.
He said: “When things are not going well off the pitch you can see a reflection on the pitch”.
