The stunning ‘net worth’ of Newcastle United’s owners compared to Man City & co - three years after takeover

Ending Mike Ashley’s decade-and-a-half tenure as owner of Newcastle United, the takeover, led by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, sparked jubilant scenes outside of St James’ Park as the news of the takeover was confirmed. In three years, the Magpies have been transformed from relegation candidates to a club that has competed in the Champions League and hold genuine aspirations of repeating that feat on a regular basis.

PIF, along with RB Sports and Media, have invested heavily in the club over those three years, but the club have had to weather a recent shakeup following the departures of Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi this summer. The ownership group at Newcastle United remain committed to the club as they look to improve both on and off the pitch.

The Premier League’s clampdown on their Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have meant that they have not been able to spend as freely as they may have liked, however. Newcastle United still have the richest owners in the league, but PSR has stifled their spending and mean the club now need to focus on raising their revenues rather than relying solely on owner funding.
