Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez has been told the club shares his frustration as they await a significant breakthrough in the transfer market, PA Sport reports.
A report over the weekend suggested Benitez could walk away having become disillusioned over a stalling recruitment drive which to date amounts only to the permanent capture of loan signing Christian Atsu.
However, Benitez has been assured that owner Mike Ashley's promise of "every last penny" the club generates from promotion and player sales to invest in the squad remains intact.
Having seen his hand strengthened by the departure of chief scout Graham Carr last week, Benitez is now hoping for decisive action with several of his targets having already fallen by the wayside.
