The tweet - no it doesn't. He didn't tweet it, he wrote in an article for the Torygraph on the 23rd March that Newcastle weren't going to be signing any superstars in the summer and the budget was going to be less than the £90m they spent in January.
If i recall correctly he said it was £60m plus sales (they is re-reported as his words in many many places online) but the actual story is locked behind a paywall. Feel free to have a look yourself but there's no way on earth I'm paying a penny towards that one-eyed abortion of a rag claiming to be a newspaper.

I knew he never said 60 million and I knew about this article because I anticipated they'd be struggling to find something that doesn't exist. I thought they'll stumble across it and I took the screenshot yesterday the 12th.

I voted 90 to 100 based on all the best evidence that was available.. They chose to ignore the evidence and go on a crusade that they will as always lose.
The figures were always approximates..
Saying 60 to 100 isn't unrealistic either because newcastle may fail to land one of their big targets and choose to wait and they may yet sell a player or two. It's all possible so the range is not outlandish imo.
