Ahead of the last game of the season, we’ve taken a look back over Newcastle’s campaign, which sees them dangerously close to the relegation zone with only a game left to play.
Should results not go their way on Sunday, Newcastle could find themselves plying their trade in the Championship, a division they escaped in 2010, next season.
In part, this is a result of the policies of the owner, Mike Ashley.
A poor summer of recruitment caused a bad start to the campaign.
However, manager Alan Pardew turned it around in staggering fashion, climbing to seventh in the league.
Having not been given assurances over transfers in the January window, however, he moved on to Crystal Palace, who he saved from relegation with plenty of time to spare.
John Carver was then put in charge, and coming into the last weekend of the season, he has lost nine of the last ten games, putting Newcastle only two points above the relegation zone.
They could still go down.
