They finished 13th and reached the FA Cup final , losing to Arsenal. During the summer, David Ginola and Les Ferdinand were sold to Tottenham Hotspur , while in a pre-season friendly match, Alan Shearer sustained a horrific ankle injury which would keep him out for half the season. The highlight of the —98 season was to be the club's run in the UEFA Champions League , seeing them defeat Barcelona 3—2 after a hat-trick from striker Faustino Asprilla. Controversy surrounded the club in March 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's season was an almost carbon copy of the one before. They finished 13th in the Premiership and lost in the FA Cup final to enter Europe because the winning side had already qualified for the Champions League. Just after the season started, Kenny Dalglish paid for Newcastle's sub-standard league performances with his job. The task was given to Ruud Gullit to turn things round, but he could not improve on the club's previous league finish of 13th. A dismal league position put them below local rivals Middlesbrough as well as other unfancied sides including Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday.
