Barton keen to remain at Newcastle

Fri 05 Jun, 09:14 AM


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

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."

  1. What is this thug still doing in the game is this the­ kind of role model you want your kids to emmulate kick­ him out.As for the rest if they are under contract they­ should take a paycut and the board should cut the price­ for season tickets and this season don't mess­ around with idiots if they dont want to sweat blood for­ the club get rid and shame them let the public know­ what they are up too.

  3. He had the promise of the great player in the making.­ Just his attitude and arrogance brings him down and now­ his footballing career is also grinding to a halt now.­ Not really sure Alan Shearer will tolerate him whilst­ he's still the gaffer at the Club. He's been a­ disappointment to Newcastle and they need to TERMINATE­ his contract.

  4. Newcastle have given him more chances than he deserves,­ and every time he's thrown it back in our faces.­ The sooner he's out of our club, the better IMO.
