<P> Harvey bought striker Malcolm Macdonald in the summer of 1971, for a club record transfer fee of £ 180,000 (worth ₤ 2334880 in 2016). He was an impressive goal scorer, who led United's attack to Wembley in their 1974 FA Cup Final defeat at the hands of Liverpool . The club also had back to back triumphs in the Texaco Cup in 1974 and 1975 . Harvey left the club in 1975, with Gordon Lee brought in to replace him . Lee took the team to the 1976 Football League Cup Final against Manchester City, but failed to bring the trophy back to Tyneside . However, he sold Macdonald to Arsenal at the end of the season, a decision of which Macdonald later said "I loved Newcastle, until Gordon Lee took over". Lee left for Everton in 1977, and was replaced by Richard Dinnis . </P> <P> United dropped once again to the Second Division at the end of the 1977--78 season . Dinnis was replaced by Bill McGarry, and then he was replaced by Arthur Cox . Cox steered Newcastle back to the First Division at the end of the 1983--84 season, with players such as Peter Beardsley, Chris Waddle and ex-England captain Kevin Keegan the fulcrum of the team . However, with a lack of funds, Cox left for Derby County and Keegan retired . With managers such as Jack Charlton and then Willie McFaul, Newcastle remained in the top - flight, until key players such as Waddle, Beardsley and Paul Gascoigne were sold, and the team was relegated once more in 1989 . McFaul left the managerial post, and was replaced by Jim Smith . Smith left at the start of the 1991--92 season and the board appointed Osvaldo Ardiles his replacement . </P> <P> Sir John Hall became the club's chairman in 1992, and replaced Ardiles with Keegan, who managed to save the team from relegation to the Third Division . Keegan was given more money for players, and he brought in Rob Lee, Paul Bracewell and Barry Venison and the club won the then First Division Championship at the end of the 1992--93 season, earning promotion to the then new Premier League . At the end of the 1993--94 season, their first year back in the top flight they finished in third, their highest league finish since 1927 . The attacking philosophy of Keegan led to the team being labelled "The Entertainers" by Sky Sports . </P> <P> Keegan took Newcastle to two consecutive runners - up finishes in the league in 1995--96 and 1996--97, coming very close to winning the title in the former season . This success was in part due to the talent of players like David Ginola, Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer, who was signed on 30 July 1996 for a then world record fee of £ 15 million . </P>
