Ben Dawson feels his job with Newcastle this week is simply about getting players ready for the arrival of the next manager. “The main aim is to prepare the players for the new manager coming in,” said Dawson at a press conference in China, where the club are playing in the Premier League Asia Trophy. We have good staff and good players. We are preparing the players as we would for any fixture.”With takeover rumours continuing and players – as well as Benitez – leaving, it has been a turbulent summer for the club. Ben and Neil’s sessions have been of high quality and good intensity, so we’re not missing anything in that respect.
