Rafael Benitez has admitted he is not implementing a long-term project at Newcastle as he attempts to prove to owner Mike Ashley that football has to be the priority.
The 57-year-old Spaniard has been dismayed at the club's relative lack of transfer activity this summer and is still hoping for significant movement both in and out as he attempts to re-shape his squad for life in the Premier League.
However, despite having re-affirmed his commitment to the club despite a testing few weeks, he admits he can think no further ahead than the current season at the moment.
