Newcastle have been warned that they cannot 'just buy success', and their supporters are accused of living in 'dreamland' if they believe they can now sign the world's top players by former defender Jonathan Woodgate.
The club's Saudi Arabia-backed takeover was approved last week, bringing an end to the tumultuous ownership of Mike Ashley, and the mega £305million deal has sparked hopes they will soon be a new footballing superpower.
Indeed, the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Philippe Coutinho and Timo Werner have been linked with moves to St James' Park, but Woodgate has looked to bring the club crashing back down to earth with his latest comments.
