Wearing a mock Arab headdress, Chris Greenslade, between swigs from a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale, was proudly embracing his club's new status as one of the richest in world sports.
"We're Saudis," the 41-year-old Newcastle fan said. "We can afford anything."
The gloating and celebrations from fans were only before Sunday's match against Tottenham at St. James' Park, as the new era under Saudi ownership was heralded, before reality set in.
