Newcastle are on the verge of completing a £300million takeover led by a consortium backed by money from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.
Should the deal go through, current owner Mike Ashley would be handing the keys over to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is estimated to have a personal wealth of £7billion.
With the backing of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, worth a colossal £260bn, the Magpies could be a club transformed and challenging for titles in future.
Newcastle have always been regarded as one of England's 'sleeping giants', given their dedicated fanbase, large stadium and a fondly remembered recent history that saw them pipped to the Premier League title in the late 90s.
