Mehrdad Ghodoussi has told Newcastle United supporters last night's win over Crystal Palace took the Magpies to the magic 40 points, usually needed for Premier League survival. It's a remarkable achievement from a side that endured their worst start to a campaign in their Premier League history, rock bottom at the time of Eddie Howe's arrival.
A nine game unbeaten run propelled the Magpies towards safety, combined with an impressive January transfer window, and now Newcastle supporters can look to the future. The PIF takeover at St. James' Park made the Toon the richest club in world football.
With grand promises of competing for the Premier League title and a return to European football, Newcastle supporters can once again dream big. Ghodoussi has been a regular on Twitter, interacting with Magpies supporters since arriving on Tyneside.

His tweet in the aftermath of the win over Crystal Palace may be the best yet. He tweeted: "What can I say……40 f****** pts….so proud of this team, of this club, of this city!! We are one and we are nothing without each other!! Let’s keep this going, our journey is just beginning."
With Premier League safety almost certainly guaranteed, albeit not yet mathematically impossible, the Magpies now have a platform to build on next season. Their run of form since the turn of the year is only bettered by Liverpool and they're on course for a top-half finish if they can carry it on.
