Newcastle CEO David Hopkinson envisions the club becoming one of the biggest in world football within five years. Joining from Madison Square Garden Sports, Hopkinson described the club’s rise as a “rocket ship,” aiming for a “world-class level” by 2030, with a focus on conviction and unity to achieve silverware.
Financial growth is crucial, with Newcastle targeting over £500 million in turnover to rival clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona. Infrastructure plans include a potential stadium expansion or new build, alongside upgrading training facilities. These strategies are backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund to propel Newcastle into football’s elite.
