What's next for Newcastle United and Rafa Benitez after securing Premier League safety

Hello and welcome to The Everything is Black and White Podcast.

In the week that Newcastle United secured Premier League safety, the celebrations have been put on ice as Rafa Benitez's contract issue goes on.

The Spaniard's deal runs out on June 30th and he claims that things are no further forward than they were a month ago.

United's hierarchy have made it clear they want Benitez to stay but within certain perimeters - including the age of the players he brings to the squad.

In this week's episode, host Andrew Musgrove is joined by Lee Ryder, Mark Douglas and The Telegraph's Luke Edwards - up for discussion is

  • Rafa Benitez's future - will he sign a new deal?
  • Is Luke still confident a deal will be done?
  • Why Benitez is arguing the same things as he did in 2005
  • How important is Salomon Rondon to any deal?
  • What does the future hold for Jonjo Shelvey?
  • Can United worsen Brighton's cause?
