'Always about money' - Newcastle and Tottenham fans fume as 'lucrative' post-season South Korea friendly is confirmed

Premier League

Newcastle

Ipswich

Liverpool

Tottenham

The two Premier League clubs met for a bizarre friendly in Melbourne just days after the 2023-24 season ended last summer and<a href="https://www.tottenhamhotspurnews.com/exclusives/tottenham-set-for-huge-financial-rewards-after-newcastle-development/" target="_blank"> reports say the two powerhouses will meet again</a> in the summer, this time in South Korea.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Fans will undoubtedly flock to Seoul to get a glimpse of Spurs captain Heung-Min Son and a bumper 60,000 crowd is expected to fill the World Cup Stadium if the game does go ahead. The match also provides a huge financial opportunity for both clubs, with merchandise and other events sure to bring in cash for the Magpies as well.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After the drama Down Under in 2024, fans have had a mixed reaction to the news that the two teams could meet again. @Jlsmithyido pointed to a potential money-grabbing scheme, saying: "Always about the money."@cfcnewton added: "Injuries players knackered don’t count when it comes to money."@blower_keith added: "Greed ,concentrate on getting a team that can challenge and a manager that can motivate."Newcastle fan @Bob_Helpful saw the funny side of the meeting, poking fun at Spurs, saying: "Shouldn’t we be trying to play elite opposition?"And @DickShort14 questioned why the Magpies could not play a Saudi Pro League side, posting: "We should play a top Saudi team with a prize of a billion pounds for the winner."

WHAT THE FANS SAID

Newcastle have only lost to Tottenham once in their last six meetings, winning both Premier League meetings this season as Eddie Howe's side chase Champions League football.

DID YOU KNOW?

The finer details of the meeting in South Korea still need ironing out but Tottenham have confirmed that they will face arch-rivals Arsenal outside of the United Kingdom for the first time during their tour of Asia. With Newcastle also potentially on their schedule, it will give both sides a good opportunity to sound out some of their opponents ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
