Newcastle United’s plans to disrupt the top six will be a welcome addition to the Premier League - even if such lofty hopes leave questions over Eddie Howe’s long-term future.
The multi-million-pound takeover of the club has drawn inevitable comparisons with Manchester City who since being bought by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008 have gone on to win countless major honours. Their dominance on the top of the table, alongside Liverpool, is exactly why Newcastle’s hopes of crashing the party - alongside the likes of West Ham - should be applauded, according to legendary broadcaster Jon Champion.
Champion, who has covered the Premier League for more than two decades, spoke to Chronicle Live for a special long read on the greatest commentary moments of Newcastle United's recent history. He also shared his view on modern-day Newcastle.
