Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton is eager to stay with the club following their relegation from the Premier League.

FOOTBALL Newcastle United Joey Barton - 80 per cent of Eurosport readers think Barton should be sacked after his latest disciplinary problems - 0

The former Manchester City player was told to stay away from Newcastle's training ground in the wake of their 3-0 defeat at Liverpool late in the season, after he was red-carded.

Barton told The Chronicle: "I don't know what is going to happen with the club or with the manager situation."

He continued: "I'm just looking forward to going back and my intention is to stay at the club and help Newcastle back into the Premier League.

"If Alan Shearer takes the job and if he doesn't want me then my hands are tied. All I can do is try and get as fit as possible, but I have got to prepare for all eventualities."

  4. Ofcourse he wants to stay, he's on £63k a week but­ is pretending to play the "loyalty"­ card!!

    Same as Duff, he claims he's being loyal­ and that he wants to stay, nothing to do with his­ astronomical wages then??

  5. One thing about Joey Barton is for sure, he's got­ balls the size of the moon to think that he still­ deserves a place in football after the shenanigans­ he's pulled off this year. I was all for giving him­ another chance until he proved yet again with his­ latest Red card that he's just not mentally fit for­ anything out side of the mob as a bully boy.

    Like it not, you're stuck with him. No-one else­ would want him, you can't afford the financial hit­ of giving him a free so por sad old boring Mary Poppins­ will have to eat his words if he is to be your Manager­ for next season. You'll have to build your team­ around him!! So sad, it almost makes want to cry. A­ little ditty to cheer myself up ...
    He's only a­ poor little Magpie,
    His feathers all tattered and­ torn,
    His team's down and out, spat his dummy­ out,
    He wishes he hadn't been born!

  13. what a waste of space and good money, he only wants to­ stay at newcastle because he doesnt have a relegation­ release clause or a wage drop clause in his contract,­ so hes a money grabbing @#$% and doesnt deserve to be­ paid a penny

    From squaddie, on Fri 5 Jun 2:28PM

  14. I think he should go up to Scotland and play for­ Dumbarton as the clubs name sums him up

  15. "If Alan Shearer takes the job and if he­ doesn't want me then my hands are tied thats­ exactly where they should be tied in handcuffs so that­ you cant be hitting anyone or stubbing out ciggys on­ peoples faces you are Jack Tweed in football boots and­ should do the game a favour and retire you racist thug.­ I hope if Alan stays he gets shot as although not a­ Newcastle fan I am a England fan shearer is a legend­ and you dont deserve to share the same air as him
