Rafa Benitez is ready to walk out on Newcastle United.

The Mirror says Benitez will walk away from ­Newcastle at the end of the season unless there is a dramatic change in spending policy.

He ­admitted on Friday it would be a “great achievement" simply to keep Toon in the ­Premier League this season.

Benitez's contract as manager ends in June, and there is no sign he will get the resources to build a top 10 team.

He and the players are under growing pressure after five defeats and a draw in their six games to date this season.
