There is much excitement at Newcastle after it was confirmed on Thursday that a Saudi-based consortium had completed a deal to buy the club for £305m, bringing an end to Mike Ashley's 14-year reign at St James' Park.
Fans of the club will instantly look to the rise of Manchester City under their Abu Dhabi ownership as an example of what they could possibly achieve in the upcoming years.
But City have shown that having unlimited cash doesn't mean a club will always get their transfer business right, with some poor signings since their 2008 state-funded takeover.
