When Newcastle United’s £300 million takeover was completed in October, no one could blame their fans for dreaming of the heights that the club could go on to reach, but securing their Premier League survival was the first priority following a dreadful start to the season.
Six months on, and that has practically been achieved after a remarkable turnaround in the second half of the campaign. Now, the Magpies can start planning ahead for next season, while their supporters can begin to get excited over who they might sign.
Consolidating a top half finish would be a realistic ideal for some in 2022/23, but according to Bruno Guimaraes’ agent, Newcastle ’s owners are already planning on a top four push next season.
