David Edgar believes Alan Shearer would've kept Newcastle United in the Premier League during the 2008-09 season had he been given more time to do so.
The Newcastle legend took the reins from Chris Hughton in April 2009 with eight league games remaining, and collected just one win during that run.
Damien Duff's 38th minute own goal ultimately confirmed Newcastle's relegation to the Championship, as Edgar's red card in second half stoppage time compounded their misery in a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa.
