Newcastle United’s new owners say they want to transform the club into a superpower like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain after completing their £305million takeover.

Speaking after completing the takeover on Thursday, co-owner Amanda Staveley claimed that the plan was to transform Newcastle United in the same way as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

‘Of course we have the same ambitions as Manchester City and PSG in terms of trophies, absolutely, but that will take time,’ Staveley told Sportsmail.

‘Do we want to win the Premier League within five to 10 years? Yes.

‘This takeover is hugely transformative. We want to see trophies. But trophies need investment, time, patience and team work.’

In a separate interview with Sky Sports, Staveley pledged that Newcastle United’s squad will be bolstered with new signings.

‘We’ve got a great squad,’ she said.

‘I had a great chat with Jamaal [Lascelles] tonight as captain. We’re really excited about strengthening the squad, but we have to work within Financial Fair Play and make sure this is done over a longer term.

‘But you can know and be reassured that we want to invest at every level. We want to get the best squad we possibly can.

‘Everybody talks about it [big signings], but what you need is a team that works well together. That’s also just as important.’

These Staveley’s comment has prompt Plenty of Sky Blues to react on social media.
