Has Bassong Played His Last Game For Toon?

Sebastien Bassong: "In the case that Newcastle go down, then I would have to hold talks with the club after the last game of the season.

"Everybody knows that I am an ambitious boy, and playing Championship football never crossed my mind.

"You have to have a plan for your career, and playing in the second division would be a step backwards.

"I hope that Alan Shearer will stay, whatever happens on Sunday.

"He makes you forget his so-called lack of experience as a coach thanks to his experience on the pitch."
