Simon Jordan makes Newcastle United top six claim of 'real intrigue' that supporters disagree with

Simon Jordan claims it'll take two or three years until Newcastle United start to deliver their true potential after last year's takeover. The Saudi led takeover made the Magpies the richest club in world football but Financial Fair Play limits what Eddie Howe's side can do this summer.

So far this summer they've brought in Matt Targett, Nick Pope and Sven Botman with focus now turning to attacking options further up the pitch. Since the January transfer window the Magpies have completely revamped their back line and it paid dividends as the made an impressive surge up the table in 2022.

Howe's side displayed form that would have seen them qualify for Europe if they had sustained that all season. However, despite some impressive results, Newcastle fans know their squad needs further additions and time on the training pitch until they're competing with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City for honours.
