Thanks Jonny! Totally agree - they're basically into a space they had no presence in a few years ago.
My understanding- from a good source - is Sporting Director soon. Training ground announcement in 3-6 months. Stadium next year sometime. But we know with PIF it can sometimes take longer!

Club football and National football are very different. Don't read anything into a performance that has no bearing on how said player will be used for their club #nufc

Newcastle United have completed their 4th signing of the summer, shelling out ~£40m for Jacob Ramsey from EPL rival Aston Villa.
Like Thiaw, the club have secured a player that’s been on their shortlist for a long time. Why does Howe like him so much? It’s time to take a closer look 🧵 #NUFC

Whenever clubs brief hard-line stances during transfer sagas - “He’s not for sale!” or “We’re not improving our offer!” - I’m reminded of this painting.
This is football. It’s all made up and the money doesn’t matter. Don’t take any of it too seriously.

Hearing Trafford hasn't travelled to Portugal. A quick glance at the official site doesn't show him in any picks. Don't shoot the messenger. He could have dysentery and not travelled 🤷🏻 #nufv

Anthony Elanga has joined #NUFC in a £52m deal from Nottingham Forest.
Following long term interest, the acquisition ends the club’s 3️⃣ year search for a new first team right winger.
Why did Howe & co. opt for the 🇸🇪 international? Let’s dig in 🧵

There’s a REALLY funny dichotomy at the heart of the #nufc fan base where there is endless negativity about the opportunity cost of trying to sign expensive sure-thing players, while ignoring the potential for players from Europe to flop in the same way as Diaby or Antony. Truth is in the middle.
"How about this for some world-class trolling: Newcastle United’s struggle to sign players this summer is (perversely) a story of success."

Newcastle, the challenge of attracting top players and why this summer is different
PSR rules have weakened the club's ability to bring in fresh talent but they have still managed to build a winning formula

Wondering if #nufc fans can help. (1/3)
Newcastle City Council are sharing (LinkedIn) stories of people who have moved to our city and been made welcome.
It's a lovely bit of pro-kindness that builds on Geordies uniting against race rioters last year.

Disappointing that another soft deadline comes and goes without any clarity but what can we do. Have to hope the wait is worthwhile 🤷🏻#nufc

Why do all these so called knowledgeable journos keep going on about #nufc PSR position? Yes it's been a tricky few years but we are in a healthy place now.
By my rough workings out we have potentially 75m of the 105m to play with over the next 3 year cycle.

Kev pulling out the goods. Summer is officially here 📈#nufc
The 24/25 season was historic for #NUFC. Howe turned a rough summer into our first major domestic 🏆 in 70 years—and UCL qualification.
But success brings expectation. With PSR easing & more games in 25/26, fans & Howe expect investment.
But who to buy? Welcome to my third annual Summer Transfer 🧵
