Newcastle United's new chief executive, David Hopkinson, is aiming for the Premier League outfit to be considered among the "top clubs in the world" by 2030.
Hopkinson, who previously worked with major sports organisations including the NBA, NHL, and Real Madrid, believes this ambitious target is achievable.
He stated that Newcastle can win the Premier League and must have the courage to ignore doubters to become perennial contenders.
