I think the target of reaching the last 16 of the champions league feels very realistic for Newcastle, especially since they haven't been in Europe's highest competition for so long. I think Eddie Howie knows very well what they need in order to survive until that round and go through every match that is there with a win. Maybe it will be his first achievement as a Newcastle coach if he can reach that stage and if he fails to take Newcastle to that stage, he will still be able to try again at another time if he still has the same squad as now. Now Newcastle's focus remains the same, namely maintaining the top 4 in the domestic league and of course bringing this team much better in the champions league, it requires extraordinary energy and mind.

At least for almost 20 years, Newcastle did not have the opportunity to compete in the Champions League and last season managed to qualify for the top 4 in the Premier League which made them have a Champions League ticket so that this golden opportunity was impossible to waste Eddie Howie must have prepared carefully for the Champions League because you can see that last season Newcastle got the top 4 of the Premier League so it is still very likely that Newcastle will also qualify for the top 16 of the 2023/24 Champions League season.
We'll just have to wait and see if Newcastle can really live up to expectations or get knocked out before entering the last 16.

In fact, with the new Arab owners, Newcastle became the richest football club in the world.
The new owners clearly have a very good strategy and long-term plan for Newcastle and they are in no rush. Already in the first real season, they won participation in the Champions League without investing too much money for new players.
I think Newcastle will continue to grow every season and could soon replace Manchester City at the top of English and European football.
It won't happen overnight, but in 4-5 years, I believe that Newcastle could reach and even overtake Manchester City, with such a patient and smart plan for the gradual growth of the club by the new owners.
This season, it is still too early to expect big things from them.

You would be exaggerating if you say that with Newcastle's new owners being Arabs making it the richest football club in the world.
There are many English or European football clubs that are owned by Arab billionaires and in fact the most important factor in the success of a football club is not only the owner but also the players and management who take care of the football club itself.
It's not easy to replace Manchester City as the leader at the top like last season.
For Newcastle to be able to get better with improved performance I believe it can happen but to be able to beat Manchester City I'm not sure of that.
If Manchester City doesn't develop better, it's possible that Newcastle will precede it, but Manchester City is a big club that always prepares well and gets better every season, so don't be in a rush to reach the top in just the next 4 or 5 years.

The coach of Manchester City team is an experienced person who is able to prepare his team by studying other teams every season. Besides, the kind of players that are in the team are trying to take themselves to a unique and extraordinary level every day.
