Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan has told Eddie Howe and his players not to rest on the success of the past year as he outlined his vision for the future after inviting club staff to his home in Riyadh.
Howe and co-owners Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi were among a group of 100 employees who visited Al-Rumayyan’s residency in the Saudi capital this week.
The Magpies are third in the Premier League and being talked about as Champions League contenders this season, just 14 months on from the takeover led by Saudi’s Public Investment Fund.
