Loads of Newcastle fans have been reacting to some comments from Lee Charnley, as the Magpies’ managing director proved once again that he simply does not care or understand why the Toon Army are so frustrated.

Newcastle fans were hit hard by some news about Rafael Benitez this week, as the boss seems to be edging ever closer to a summer exit.

Benitez’s contract is up once the season ends, and the Magpies are yet to show any clear signs of extending his deal, despite his overachievements with an underwhelming squad.

The gaffer has reportedly been promised a budget of around £50m if he stays, but he has long yearned for improvements to the club’s infrastructure as well, most notably the academy and training ground.

And Charnley has now added more fuel to the fire by shutting down the shouts to make internal upgrades: "You look at the training ground and think: Did it stop us from getting out of the Championship? No,” he said, as reported by The Evening Chronicle.

"Did it stop us finishing tenth? No. Is it OK? It is. Would we ideally like it to be better? Yes, in an ideal world.

"No player has turned around and said they will not sign because of the training ground.”

As is always the case with Mike Ashley, Charnley and their close allies, this is just blatantly missing the point.

Benitez and the fans alike purely just want to see some proper ambition from the club, and the Twitter reactions down below are understandably furious at Charnley’s latest act…
