Yasir Al-Rumayyan has explained his vision for the Magpies to be the "number one" club in the world.
The Magpies underwent an incredible transformation in the 2022/23 season, qualifying for the Champions League and reaching the Carabao Cup Final
Boss Eddie Howe received plaudits for leading to his side to the top four with the financial backing of the Saudi-led consortium.
This, of course, was to the detriment of Liverpool, who finished four points behind
Now, having already upset the Premier League apple cart, the North East club have made their ambitions clear
Al-Rumayyan said:
"It is a great achievement to start with. Did we expect to do that? Yes. We have the ingredients for success. We have the will. We want to achieve the best positions we can.
"(We) have the right people in management - the technical director [Dan Ashworth], the manager [Eddie Howe] - and we have the right players. To top it all, we have a great fanbase.
"If you have the right people and the will, and the right processes and funds, if you put all these together I think it is a great recipe for success and that is what we are achieving right now.
"Finishing in the top four, our revenue is increasing. Remember, you have to work within the financial fair play framework, so the more revenue we will have, the more players we will have ready.
"Then the Champions League will add more revenue for us. The sponsorship is improving and that's more funds and more revenue.
"If you put all these things together, I think we should have an ambition and aspiration to be number one."
He added: "We have one of the best fanbases in the EPL and potentially the world."
