Ayoze Perez eased the Magpies’ relegation fears on Friday night as the Magpies ended their away win drought at Leicester . The striker's eighth goal of the season earned the Magpies a 1-0 victory and their first win on the road since December. And though Neville understands why the club’s fans have aspirations to fight further up the table, he has highlighted their struggles to recruit fresh faces. Neville told Sky Sports : "I don't dispute the size of the club, it's huge and the fanbase is incredible.
