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."

  2. The real reason he wants to stay is because you will be­ playing Milwall and Leeds in a year or so and the lad­ does like a good fight. Now there's a dilemma for­ Mary Poppins

  3. Forget all the "Baggage" that he has, he is a­ really crpa footballer! I mean he is slow, cant tackle,­ cant head, pass, trible, see or score! One goal in two­ years, a doddgy penalty which Swarzger should have had,­ he is the pits! looking at the CCTV cameras in­ Mcdondalds the bloke cant even fight either! A total­ waster! Any time Gypo! Anytime!

  6. At liverpool, and not for the first time Joey, you let­ everbody down - that was the final straw; NUFC stood by­ you all the way . . . . . for what!
    You simply have to­ go, and you have nobody to blame but­ yourself.
    Nevermind, i'm sure somebody will come in­ for you, shame you'll only be offered a measly 30k­ a week wherever you go - life's a @#$% isn't­ it!

  7. NUFC
    Don't be daft get rid of him as soon as­ possible,
    he will still cost any team 3-4 red cards a­ year.
    He has anger problem which he has not dealt with,­ he cannot change
    GET RID NOT WORT £4 never mind £40k.
