Simon Jordan can see a future in which a 'legacy club' swoops in to take Alexander Isak away from Newcastle United

Call them the 'Big Six' or 'Big Clubs' or 'Legacy Clubs' or whatever you want, but the days of these behemoth clubs getting away with doing anything they want need to come to an end.

Newcastle United, along with the likes of Aston Villa are gunning for the established order in the Premier League, taking up Champions League places previously occupied by the 'big six' while nobody else could get near them.

Now we have Tottenham and Manchester United in the bottom half of the table, Chelsea dropping like a stone and Newcastle and Villa climbing the table.

Despite all of this change, though, there's still a tacit understanding that the 'Big Six' in England and the rest of the European Super League clubs can pretty much do whatever they like.

Simon Jordan believes Newcastle are always at risk of 'Legacy Clubs' taking our big players

It's this feeling that leads to a lot of transfer stories involving Newcastle's top players leaving for 'bigger clubs' and Simon Jordan, while by no means a fan of the cartel, is all too aware of how much pull these clubs have.

Speaking on TalkSPORT this week, Jordan has spoken about Alexander Isak and the likelihood that Newcastle will eventually accept a bid from a 'Legacy Club', however, he does say that he doesn't believe it will happen this summer, so that's something, I suppose.

”As much as I don't want it to happen, as much as I don't like it and I don't wish it upon them, when a big legacy club comes along and writes out a cheque that's big enough and the player decides to do his little bit, which is that Isak gets off,” Jordan told talkSPORT. “I'm not so sure. Wait and see. I hope I'm very happy to be wrong.

“I also think that, given the momentum of Newcastle, they're going to get another year of him. But when it comes knocking and a legacy club comes along, Newcastle will fall foul to it in the same way that all clubs that are aspiring to get to a point do.

“If you can win the League Cup and all the hullabaloo that went with that, then compound the achievement by finishing second in the Premier League (and) qualifying for the Champions League, I think that's a great season.

Simon Jordan does have a point, whether we like it or not

While I agree with what Simon Jordan is saying, to a point, the point that so many pundits and journalists seem to miss is that Newcastle's project is to break into/break up this cartel so that they are in a position to change the 'established order'.

Whether we become another evil superpower or become the force that breaks it up, that remains to be seen as either are very possible, but whichever happens, selling players like Alexander Isak will only happen on our terms when we want them to.

It's just a case, really, of whether we can achieve this dream before having to cash in on one of our star players we're building our project around.
