Rafa Benitez has been in a power struggle at Newcastle almost ever since he pitched up in the North East and according to the Daily Mail, that fact shows no signs of stopping.

Their report states that the Spanish manager may be forced to walk away from the club if he is not given more control over transfer dealings, a £50m war chest and the removal of the need for Lee Charnley - Mike Ashley's right hand man - to sign off every signing.

That would be a body blow to a club that Benitez has dragged out of the mire and towards comfortable Premier League survival with a squad of players that many would claim are Championship standard.

So we're asking you: are Benitez's demands too much or are they fair enough for a man who has been the figurehead for a change in the mood at such a troubled club?
