Former Crystal Palace owner and talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan believes Newcastle United will spend big again this summer, despite speculation of a small budget at St. James' Park. The new Magpies owners have spent an estimated £250million on playing personnel since the takeover was approved back in 2021.
Alexander Isak, Sven Botman, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon are among the arrivals that have commanded a big transfer fee, but the club has repeatedly played down its spending power and need to comply with Financial Fair Play. Needless to say, the Toon qualifying for the Champions League this season will grant further freedom under the constraints of FFP and Jordan believes the Magpies are trying to play down their budget while also spending wisely.
Jordan told talkSPORT: "I think it's somewhere in between. They've got revenue that they didn't project to get this season, they're obviously about five or six spaces above in the league where they thought they might be.
