History

Historical Context

After John Hall floated Newcastle United in 1997, businessman Mike Ashley acquired a 41.6% stake for £55 million in May 2007 and soon owned over 90%, reshaping the club’s finances. The 2021 takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, taking an 80% share, marked a shift toward new capital. Today manager Matthias Jaissle inherits a squad rebuilt under that recent ownership change.
