Black and White Toon. Retrieved 14 August 2013. The club's Premier League form, however, began to suffer following Asprilla's departure from the club in January, and despite the return of Shearer to the starting line-up, he was unable to recapture the form he had found under Kevin Keegan.Shearer the Geordie gem http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/1390656.stm BBC News British Broadcasting Corporation 15 June 2001 The club reached the FA Cup final only to fall to a 2–0 defeat by Arsenal.http://www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk/1998.htm FA Cup Final 1998 www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk 13 January 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20070311074943/http://www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk/1998.htm 11 March 2007 dead Controversy surrounded the club in March 1998 when chairman Freddie Shepherd, and deputy chairman Douglas Hall (son of previous chairman Sir John Hall, who had retired during the summer), were filmed in a Spanish brothel making a series of remarks to an undercover tabloid journalist. They ridiculed Shearer, boasted of "ripping off" supporters with the club shirts they sold, and called the women of Newcastle "dogs". Both subsequently resigned, and Sir John Hall returned as acting chairman for the remainder of the season.Newcastle Utd directors resign http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/68984.stm BBC News British Broadcasting Corporation 24 March 1998A Sad Episode for Newcastle https://www.nytimes.com/1998/03/25/sports/25iht-soccer.t_18.html The New York Times 25 March 1998 Newcastle enjoyed a good run in the 1997–98 FA Cup and reached the final for the first time in 24 years. They never looked like winners, and the final whistle blew with a 2–0 scoreline giving the trophy to opponents Arsenal. But as Arsenal had completed the double, Newcastle entered the 1998–99 Cup Winners' Cup. Dalglish's cautious brand of football proved unpopular with supporters used to Newcastle's previous swashbuckling style; more importantly this cautious style was not producing results. Many players signed by Dalglish were not considered to match the quality of those who had left the club this season. The team's 13th-place finish gave particular cause for concern, as Newcastle had finished runners-up in the last two seasons and had never finished below sixth since returning to the top flight in 1993. To add insult to injury, only 35 league goals were scored by the club all season. Despite signing Dietmar Hamann, Nolberto Solano and Gary Speed, several unsuccessful transfer deals along with a poor start to the 1998–99 season led to Dalglish being sacked.Dalglish Sacked by Newcastle https://web.archive.org/web/20130721091341/http://www.onthisfootballday.com/football-history/august-27-dalglish-sacked-by-newcastle.php 21 July 2013 .
