Newcastle United have been bought, and now have the richest owners in world football. Money talks in modern football, and Newcastle supposedly have a £200m transfer budget, so how long until the Magpies find success?
To discuss Newcastle’s Saudi takeover, we have host and Chelsea fan @Rory Jennings , Man City fan, Steven McInerney, @Esteemed Kompany – A Man City Fan Channel , Man Utd fan, Flex, of @United View and Newcastle supporter, Alex Hurst.
Manchester City and Chelsea both came under a lot of scrutiny when their clubs were bought by rich, foreign billionaires, and it was suggested that buying success is unethical. Both have since proven, if done correctly, that this can be a pathway to success, as both faced off in the Champions League final last season.
Newcastle currently lie in the relegation zone, and are winless after 11 games. With a new manager and plenty of money to spend, their first priority is avoiding relegation. Alex feels shoring up the centre of the midfield and the centre of defence will do the trick.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have underperformed for the past few seasons, is this the perfect time for a club like Newcastle to have heavy investment, and aim to break into the top 4? Rory thinks the short-term goal needs to be silverware, and the rest of the panel feel it could take as long as five years to build a strong enough team to do this.
Do you expect Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United to compete for the top 4 next season? What players should Newcastle look to sign in January? How long until Newcastle can win the league? Let us know in the COMMENTS and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE for weekly content!
