Newcastle United owners' net worth compared to Leeds and Premier League rivals
We've ranked the Premier League's owners by net worth, including Newcastle United's Saudi Public Investment Fund.
From a long-awaited trophy to multiple Champions League qualifications, the fortunes of Newcastle United have been turned on their head since the arrival of the Saudi Public Investment Fund ownership group.
Even with PSR holding them back from the sort of free spending the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea enjoyed after their breakthrough takeovers, Newcastle have greatly strengthened their squad over the last few years. The result has been a side to break a long-running trophy drought and a fanbase that now expects their club to battle at the top of the Premier League table. But just how do Newcastle United’s owners compare to the rest of the Premier League in terms of net worth? The reality is quite staggering...

What has Eddie Howe said about January transfers?
Newcastle have won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since November and just the second time this season, but they still sit down in ninth place and have plenty of work left to do.
Despite a heavy summer spend, fans will be looking to the January transfer market for possible reinforcements to give the Magpies a boost in the second half of the season. But what has Eddie Howe said about the possibility of new faces arriving at St. James’ Park?
“Without evading the question, it's about where our squad is at in terms of injuries,” Howe responded when asked about transfers this month. “So if everyone's fit and available, I think we've got a really well-balanced squad and it would be difficult in January to improve that squad. If we don't and we lose players, especially defensively with the game schedule we have in January, then that leaves a totally different opinion. So I think it's based on that.”

When asked about a possible ‘marquee signing, Howe answered: “'Marquee signing', I don't know quite what that means. I suppose you're talking about a big financial outlay? “I don't think that's the desire in this month for various reasons, because I don't think it's a great month necessarily to make that kind of signing. “Any signing that we do make in this window will restrict our ability to do business in the summer, so I think we've got to be really careful that we make the right decisions for the here and now and for the future.
“We're still in that position where PSR will influence every decision that we make, so that's where we have to be really smart. “I don't think that's necessarily the wish in this month, but I think our injury situation, to a degree, will impact what we do and don't do.”
