Insolvency in Football is not rare or unique. It happens a ton. So having the backing of all of Saudi Arabia would probably be pretty nice for some hard-done-by Geordies.
I dont know that they're going to be the next Man City or PSG, that might be a lot to hope for, but they'll still likely be better off than they are now.
For the fans at least.

The thing is, this is probably bad for football overall. Not only are they going to have to overpay for players because that’s what the first step is for these clubs. But it’s Newcastle. It’s one thing when it’s Chelsea or City, because at least you’re in a city that people would choose, but Newcastle is going to be paying crazy amounts for players who aren’t that great in the grand scheme.
