Found this article: Newcastle takeover: 'This is a chance to become a seriously big club again'

The author says that The Magpies should be top 6 contenders...Does anyone agree?

Facts: despite their awful record over the past decade (finishing in mid table and even in relegation zone a few times), Newcastle FC used to be a pretty strong team. In the early 2000's they had peak Alan Shearer and the team was qualifying to Champions Leagues and UEFA Cups again and again. In the 90's they won the league title and were runner-ups twice.
