Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez has thanked the club’s fans for their support after a planned boycott was called off amid hope of a takeover deal being struck. “This group of players, they deserve support because they work so hard until the last minute in every game that I think it’s fair for them. Asked about Eales’ comments, Benitez said: “We don’t talk about players. If we make an offer, they will know, we will know and not necessarily the press will know. At the moment, there is no news and we carry on with the players that we have trying to do our best for the next game.”- Press Association
