A week after Newcastle got taken over by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, and officially became three times richer than all the Premier League clubs combined, the impressions are still strong. Clearly, English and European football should prepare for an arrival of a ‘beast’, which will need time to get on its feet, but which could eventually use its inconceivable wealth and impose itself the same way Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain did and become a serious factor in football.Zidane rejects Newcastle, just like they rejected him in 1996In an interview for German Sky Sports, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp spoke about the change of ownership in the club from St. James’ Park, and immediately used the opportunity to compare the Magpies with the competition whose project stirred the world of football in April this year.”The European Super League project justifiably upset the whole world. Newcastle are practically a Super League in one club. It has a guaranteed dominant role in European football for the next 20, 30 years.” Klopp said.”There are quality people in football and Newcastle will find them sooner or later. But today, that’s the way things are. We just live with those facts.”##NAJAVA_MECA_5898741##The Magpies will most probably use this season to try and survive in the Premier League, and only then start building a dream team starting next year. It is clear from the examples of Man City and PSG that Newcastle will need years and years to achieve their desired goals, although after the change of ownership, many funny animations and clips on social media appeared which show Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe, Haaland, De Bruyne, Neymar, Kane, Kante and other superstars together in Newcastle shirts.“If we only talk about football, then in the long term, of course, we have to say that they are going to be a superpower. This is the third club in world football that I know of that belongs to a country and that obviously belongs to the wealthiest family on the planet.” – some would say that this statement was partially directed towards Manchester City and PSG.Wenger about his departure from Arsenal: ‘It was like a funeral’The charismatic German was obviously bothered by the political and social situation in Saudi Arabia.“I don’t want to make it my business because it’s not my business. There are no two opinions about the obvious human rights concerns in Saudi Arabia.“There’s no question about it. But how it could then happen that this was nevertheless allowed despite many concerns, I cannot assess.”, Klopp wondered.The wealth of the new boss of Newcastle is estimated at 370 billion USD and the club from the far north of England was bought from the former owner Mike Ashley for a bit over 400 million USD.##NAJAVA_MECA_5898747##
