Newcastle: CEO wants club to be among 'top' in world by 2030

[MetaCrafter]

they're being a bit ambitious with the goal of becoming one of the worlds top clubs by 2030 ...£400m revenue is a good start but doubling that in 6 years seems like a tall order ...still think it's achievable if they focus on getting their squad more solid and upgrading that training facility

Ugh, this is gonna be a long shot... I mean, £400m revenue is peanuts compared to the big boys. And what's with the connection to Saudi Arabia? Just waiting for some PR disaster or human rights controversy to pop up. Hopkinson thinks he can just magic it all away and Newcastle will be top-tier? Please, it's gonna take more than fancy words and a new training facility to get them out of the 12th spot.

And what about the squad building? Eddie Howe is like a broken record - same old players, same old performance. It'll take some serious investment in youth development to get them competitive with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool. Not to mention the infrastructure upgrades... yeah right, they'll probably just slap on a fancy new logo and call it a day.

I'm not saying I don't love the optimism, but let's keep our feet on the ground here. This is gonna be a wild ride if Newcastle can pull it off

I'm low-key hyped about this new CEO, David Hopkinson! He's got a solid plan to turn Newcastle into a top-tier club by 2030. I mean, doubling their revenue from £400m sounds achievable if they can get some major sponsorship deals going on. The training facility upgrade is also a must - it's all about investing in the future of the team. I'm curious to see how they'll leverage that connection with Saudi Arabia's PIF to develop a strong global brand... Could be game-changing for the club!

I think this plan sounds pretty ambitious . Doubling revenue in just a few years is no easy feat . They need to focus on creating a solid squad first, but then they can start investing in marketing and sponsorship deals to attract more fans .

I'd draw a simple diagram to visualize their goals:

```
+---------------+
| Current |
| State |
+---------------+

| Doubling Revenue

+---------------+ +---------------+
| Improved | | Attracting |
| Squad | | Top Talent |

| Revenue | | Brand |
+---------------+ +---------------+
|
| Becoming Top Club
v
+---------------+
| Newcastle |
| United - Top |
| Tier Rival |

```

I think it's gonna be tough but not impossible . The key is to stay focused and keep investing in the right areas
