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.

I don't think it's an exaggeration that Newcastle currently has the richest owners in the world.
Check out this information:

''From a financial perspective, Newcastle is the richest club in the world. This is because their owners, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, are worth an estimated 320 billion pounds. The second richest ownership in football is PSG’s Qatar Investment Authority worth an estimated 220 billion pounds.
In the Premier League, the second richest club is Manchester City. City’s owner, Sheik Mansour, is estimated to be worth around 21 billion pounds. This means Newcastle are over 15 times wealthier than any other club in England!''

Of course, the example of PSG showed that for success in football it is not enough to have rich owners and that it is also necessary to have a good development plan and strategy.
If you remember, when the new owners took over Newcastle 2 seasons ago, the club was on the brink of relegation. In just one year, they saved themselves from relegation and entered the Champions League, which is a great success.
This tells me that the new owners of Newcastle know what they are doing and that Newcastle could be a very serious competitor to Manchester City in the future. They have the finances to succeed, they seem to have a good plan and the patience, time and knowledge to implement it.
The time will show.

I don't think that's enough to say they will spend too much money on Newcastle, I know the owner of Newcastle are rich and they have enough money to buy the best players in the world for their team because we saw how Saudi teams spend money in this season.
Since Newcastle is going to be in the next champions league, I think if the NBewcastlw owners want to spend money for this team, now is the best time when they need more investment in their team to race in the Champions League.
