Newcastle United: A Resilient Football Club with a Rich History and a Bright Future

Newcastle United is considered the richest club in world football today, thanks to the club's ownership group, which has the capacity to outspend other teams. The club is owned by a consortium consisting of PCP Capital Partners, RB Sports & Media (Reuben brothers), and the Saudi Arabian state-run Public Investment Fund (PIF), which became the majority shareholder and de facto owner of the club, with 80 percent of the shares. The PIF's public face is Yasir Al-Rumayyan, who is the Governor of PIF, and Chairman of Newcastle United. PCP Capital Partners received 10 percent of the shares, and the Reuben brothers got the final 10 percent. The consortium paid a reported $415 million for the club, which compares to the $270 million paid for Everton in 2016 and the $136 million paid for an 80 percent controlling interest in Southampton.

The takeover by the consortium did not come without controversy, with the deal taking over a year to complete and involving a geopolitical dispute, problematic human rights issues, and the British Prime Minister being dragged into the conversation. The Premier League eventually greenlit the transaction despite opposition from human rights organizations, which claimed that the Newcastle takeover was the latest high-profile case of sport-swashing. The final hurdle involved Saudi Arabia agreeing to clamp down on piracy that was undermining Premier League rightsholder and broadcast partner beIN Sports of Qatar.

Under former owner Mike Ashley, resources had not been quite as plentiful in recent seasons, but the narrative quickly flipped in October 2021 when the consortium took over with the promise of changing the fortunes of the club and making it one of the big players in English and European football. The new owners have claimed that they have a vision for the club and will make significant investments in it. That is something that fans had been complaining about during Ashley's tenure.

The new owners of Newcastle United have made significant investments in the club already. In the January 2022 transfer window, Newcastle spent more than any other team in Europe, signing Bruno Guimaraes from Lyon for $43.4 million, Chris Wood from Burnley for $32.6 million, Dan Burn from Brighton for $17 million, and Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid for $15.6 million. The club appointed Dan Ashworth as Technical Director of Football in February 2022. Newcastle continued to splash the cash in the summer of 2022, spending £33m on center-back Sven Botman from Lille, £15.75m on Aston Villa's Matt Targett, and £10.35m on goalkeeper Nick Pope from Burnley.

In the January 2023 winter window, Newcastle signed Anthony Gordon in a £45m switch from Everton, Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners for £300,000, and Harrison Ashby from West Ham for £3m. Newcastle is currently sitting fifth in the Premier League and reached the Carabao Cup final, where they were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United at Wembley Stadium. The club is on course to be challenging for Champions League football, and there is also discussion of a new training complex, which could include a second, reduced-capacity stadium for the women's team.
