If Rafael Benitez stays at Newcastle this summer he can turn the club back into a Premier League force, according to Sky Sports expert Jamie Carragher. The 56-year-old took over from Steve McClaren in March with 10 games remaining but was unable to stop the Magpies from dropping into the Championship.It was the end of a difficult five months for Benitez, who was sacked in January by Real Madrid, seven months into a three-year contract. Despite being in charge when Newcastle were relegated, he has done enough in his short time at the club to win over fans and players, with a 5-1 demolition of Tottenham on the final day of the season a notable highlight.The big question on Tyneside now is whether chairman Mike Ashley can convince him to stay and lead the Magpies quest to return to the Premier League.Jamie Carragher believes Benitez can be be swayed due to a lack of other options and says he has the ability to turn around the fortunes of the North East club. Georginio Wijnaldum of Newcastle United celebrates He has managed all around the world, top teams and it might be difficult for him to get a top job right now and I dont think there is many out there, Carragher told the Premier League 15/16 Season Review show.What happened at Real Madrid might put some of the top clubs off.Hes got a big decision now. Ideally he doesnt want to be managing in the Championship but I think Newcastle would have got into him a little bit in terms of reaction from the fans. They were singing his name even when they were struggling in games. Rafael Benitez confirmed that he is happy at Newcastle and wants to stay at the club, but needs assurances that they have the same ambitions as him to get Its a bit like Newcastle cant believe they have got a coach who is at that level, who has managed Real Madrid, whos been managing Cristiano Ronaldo and wants to manage Newcastle.You cant believe a manger of that stature would be managing in the Championship. He has got to be thinking about how far he can take Newcastle if he can get them out in 12 months, with the money and the revenue. Its unfortunate that they have gone down but if he can do 12 months and get them up he could really do something. Also See: Newcastle video Newcastle fixtures Newcastle stats Get a £10 free bet!

PHILADELPHIA -- Before President Barack Obama issues any final pardons as he leaves office, he has a basketball celebration to host.The reigning NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers will visit the White House on Thursday and be recognized for becoming the first team to bring a professional sports title to Cleveland in 52 years.Its just an honor for us to be able to be represented at the White House because of our accomplishment and what we were able to accomplish last year, LeBron James said before Cavs shootaround Saturday morning in preparation for their game against the Philadelphia 76ers.I know our guys are excited about it, especially the guys who have never been there before. They should take it in full and appreciate it. Were all going to appreciate the environment.The visit will occur just two days after the presidential election. Obama extended the invitation in June, after the Cavaliers won the NBA Finals by defeating the Golden State Warriors in seven games.In a congratulatory telephone call to Cavs coach Tyronn Lue, Obama invited the team to celebrate the championship with him at the White House before he leaves office.The date was largely determined by the Cavs schedule. They play two road games against the Washington Wizards this season, but the second one isnt until Feb. 6 -- a couple weeks after the 45th president of the United States will be sworn in.It will be James third trip to the White House to celebrate a championship and be honored by Obama after doing it twice before as a member of the Miami Heat. He says that the timing of this trip adds to the experience.Its going to be special for the simple fact that not only am I going to be there with my Cleveland teammates, but Im there when Barack is on his way out, James said. Like I said, hes been a great role model, especially to African-American kids. What he did was something that you never thought could be possible. Being a black president, for me to be there when hes on his way out and his last term is ending, I think thats pretty significant as well.Jamess, who endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton for president last month, said he has already cast his ballot ahead of the election Tuesday in the battleground state of Ohio.ddddddddddddSeveral days before the final vote, many polls show Republican candidate Donald Trump having the edge over Clinton in the Buckeye State. James will join Clinton on the campaign trail Sunday and speak at a rally at the Public Auditorium in downtown Cleveland to try to swing undecided voters toward the former Secretary of State.I know who Im endorsing, and I hope everybody has gotten their fair share of knowledge and understanding of what this is about, how important this is, James said. Like I said, I know who Im for, who Im endorsing and everyone has the right to do what they want to do.In his initial endorsement of Clinton, James said he believed that she would continue the legacy of Obama.Lue said that Obama is relatable to his team, which is predominantly African-American.Having our first black president was a big thing for me and for my family and I know for a lot of others, Lue said. I know having a chance for these guys to see a black president in office is a big thing. Its a big deal. So, thats one of the reasons why I wanted it to be while he was still in office because you never know if it will ever happen again.He added that Obama is also relatable as a basketball fan.I mean, he loves the game and being from Chicago, thats basketball heaven, Lue said. Hes a big basketball supporter. I thought Bill Clinton was also a great president as far as following basketball and being a big Arkansas fan, but I mean, its cool. Having a president that you can relate to, that knows the same things that you know about the game and growing up how you grew up and different things like that. So its cool for the guys to get a chance to see that.The visit will come a day before the teams Nov. 11 matchup with the Wizards. ' ' '
