Rafa Benitez seeks assurances to let him do the Newcastle job his way

Benitez, frustrated by the club’s efforts in the last three transfer windows, will only sign a new deal if he gets assurances over transfer funds from Ashley.

Schuh made us ‘moo’ with a bag on our head during job interview
JOB applicants turning up for an interview with footwear giant Schuh had to put bags on their heads and make farmyard noises. A-level student Dom Wright, 17, took part in the “degrading and humiliating” ice breaker in a bid to win a sales role. He said: “I got there and all 25 of us were given a bag and an animal we had to pretend to be. They said I had to be a cow. “We had to make the noises until we found the other person in the room who had been given the same animal. “Others were pretending to be horses and chickens. It was bizarre, really awkward. I didn’t see what it had to do with the job.” No individual questions were asked in the two-hour interview at Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre. Dom was later told he had not got the job.
