Newcastle fans are becoming increasingly hopeful to reignite the good old days after reports of a potential buyer and budget filters through.
Newcastle have enjoyed the limelight of an awful lot of attention recently as the sale of this massive English club seems to be on the horizon. Having made an impressive start to the season as they find themselves in the top half of the season, they will be looking to improve from here on in as they aim for a successful season.
One man in particular who shared his thoughts was BBC Pundit Garth Crooks as he let his opinions be felt as he spoke to the BBC recently. Reporting that Benitez is capable of winning the title with Newcastle as he believes that the Spanish mastermind has the pedigree required to make this happen if he is provided with the correct resources.
With the recent news of a possible £500m budget being given to the club by Amanda Staveley over the next 2 seasons which would set up the foundations for Benitez to go out and buy who he wants to aim towards the ambitious targets set.
Leading financier Amanda Staveley was a conspicuous presence at St James' Park to cheer on her beloved Liverpool.
Staveley, whose PCP Capital Partners fund has £28billion under management, is looking to take over a Premier League club.
The 44-year-old came close to buying one earlier this season before the deal unravelled. And she is a rarity as a genuine buyer in a hurry to spend money in football.
A clear sign of her intent is that colleagues say Staveley is spending as much time on football business as she is on her £1.2bn lawsuit against Barclays Bank, whom it is claimed owe her massive fees for raising £7bn from Qatar and Abu Dhabi during the 2008 financial crisis.
Her preference is to buy a major club in the Premier League, or one such as Newcastle who have the strong potential to become one.
Newcastle are for sale for the right price, although no official talks with Staveley have taken place. However, she did spend time with Toon manager Rafa Benitez in his office post-match.
Staveley, a former girlfriend of Prince Andrew, orchestrated the sale of Manchester City to Sheik Mansour in 2008. And last season she made a failed bid for Liverpool in partnership with Chinese backers.
