Newcastle United supremo Yasir Al-Rumayyan says he wants the club to be 'number one' as the Magpies continue to build - but he insists that they must adhere to the framework of FFP.
United are about to make a marquee signing in the shape of AC Milan star Sandro Tonali and can offer him Champions League football but the PIF chief stated that the board now 'expects' to play at Europe's top table. The Newcastle chairman - in his first in-depth interview - said building an entire squad of stars is on the agenda at St James' Park.
Al-Rumayyan, in an interview with NUFC TV, reflected on the season as a whole: "It's a great achievement to start with. So, did we expect to do that? Yes. I mean, we have the ingredients for success. You have a club that's the only one in a city.
