The biggest difference between Benitez and Parish is that the former wants to push on and get the club into Europe whilst all Parish wants is survival. The Newcastle manager felt that £50m wasn't enough to buy the quality of player needed to progress so decided to call it a day and look for a club with more ambition

As for Parish, he needs financial support as we all know. The sticking point ( I suspect ) is his insistence on continuing in his role of running the club.

Ashley supposedly wanted youth players with resell value and was reluctant to give big contracts to those over 28, whereas Benitez wanted just to buy the players he wanted to buy without this restriction. I can understand Ashley's viewpoint in this, but I imagine Benitez is more concerned with success than financial stability.

The reason Benitez is leaving Newcastle is that he can get a massive pay rise by going to China.

A fair bit of conjecture there. I don’t think you’re ever going to agree that selling a £55 million right back is the right call when he also wants to go and we have serious issues at the other end of the pitch. Just how many clubs in the bottom half or out of the top 3 even, keep £55 million players, and right backs at that? Please, we may have missed which clubs do this. That's why they are still at the bottom.

If they don't want the whole club they could at least buy Benteke so we could put in a decent offer for Batshuayi.

Your post is meaningless. This club needs to do what it can to grow. This kind of backward step will keep occurring until the club develops its revenue potential.
