We Are Newcastle United is a Prime Video documentary series that chronicles the show’s journey through the 2022-2023 campaign after the acquisition on behalf of the Saudi hedge fund SPI.
We see how the club went from the bottom charts of the Premier League to managing a classification to the UEFA Champions League after changing managers and having a new managerial approach.
The documentary goes on to tell us how things are handled at a newly-acquired club, with testimonies from the Saudis, as well as from the club’s minority shareholder, Amanda Staveley.
We see how Financial Fair Play affects players’ acquisitions, fan reactions, and how the players and the new coach face the season that put them on the map.
We Are Newcastle United Episode 3 Recap
In episode three of We Are Newcastle United, things shift a bit from management and acquisitions to the players themselves.
We take a look at Callum Wilson’s performance and a glance at how the club faced several important challenges like the Carabao Cup, a challenge they lost but that didn’t stop them from trying harder.
We see how Eddie Howe handles rotations, having 25-30 men in the squad and picking 11 to play. While the coach and players are on the team, we look at the expectations of the new owners: Securing a spot in the prestigious UEFA Champions League means that Newcastle United must finish in the top four of that league.
The episode also delves into the media scrutiny of the recent acquisition, a controversial one on behalf of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, a sovereign wealth fund owned by the Saudi Royal Family.
Accused of sport-washing the Kingdom’s image with big displays of public fanfare of grandiose public works as well as delving into sports, this aspect of the geopolitical game is seen from the Saudi perspective in the episode, as well as from the fans, who are more than happy to see their team succeed.
After that, we move back to Callum Wilson, who, after an injury and some time off, was also scrutinized by the press for not being on top of his form and how he feels about that scrutiny.
The episode moves on to build tension for the coach and team, as they must now face Ten Hag’s Manchester United after being defeated at the Carabao Cup.
The match against Manchester United eventually goes in Newcastle United’s favor, putting them in the top four of the Premier League, aligned with the owners’ expectations.
