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.

Exactly if you’re a fan of one of the already rich clubs then this sucks, but if you’re a Newcastle fan then this is amazing.
Going to have new owners investing money into the squad to try to get their club into the champions league.
What was more fun for Manchester City fans?
Cheering on Joey Barton and Georgios Samaras on the team that finished 14th in 2006.
Or the shock transfer of Robinho in 2008, signing guys like Tevez, Adebayor, Toure, Silva, Balotello, Dzeko, etc and then finishing 3rd and winning the FA cup only three years after the change of ownership in 2011.
Maybe not as honorable as cheering for the plucky underdog that has some good moments, but it’s probably still more fun to cheer for a team with a chance to win.
