History wise they’re a big club sure but atm they’re championship level, Emery is a decent manager to start with who will build a foundation for the next manager to win with.
Sure you could go out and get someone like Mourinho 2004 level but it wouldn’t work the same as Jose inherited a squad which was finishing top four and challenging for the league.
If Chelsea were Newcastle’s level back then Mourinho would have been sacked after 2 seasons for not winning the league and getting CL, so yeah Newcastle could lure someone like Conte but he won’t be successful unless they’re willing to give him at least 3-5 years, better to start with an Emery level manager then go for the elites once you’re comfortably finishing 6th or higher
