Summary
For most clubs in the Premier League, eight matches remain this season. And those at the bottom - this campaign more than ever - have made their final roll of the dice.
In the spring of 2009, Mike Ashley played what he thought was his trump card to keep Newcastle in the top-flight: Alan Shearer. He didn’t have any coaching badges. He had never managed any team. But he loved the club. Surely that would be enough?
Spoiler: it wasn’t. But it was a mad old ride! Join Marcus, Andy, Jim and Pete to look back on it all.
