Newcastle United are in danger of being dragged into a relegation battle which Rafael Benitez appears to feel has been inevitable, short of miracles.
The Spanish manager sounds tired of his situation at the club and the long wait for someone to purchase the business from Mike Ashley. Every step forward seems to be quickly followed by another backwards and there’s a general gloom around the place.
Therefore, Newcastle don’t seem like the obvious target for a club wanting to find investment.
Belgian newspaper HLN reports on Saturday that KV Oostende owner Peter Callan is looking for investors in the club and wants to sell shares.
Newcastle and those seeking the money have ‘held several conversations’, but there’s nothing ‘concrete’ at the moment, although it’s not seen as a dead end. Callan has also 
contacted Spanish club Valencia, and the situation is the same with them, whilst investments from Belgian business owners have been easier to find.
There’s no explanation of what Newcastle would get out of any potential partnership.
