Joey Barton hoping to save Newcastle career
05.06.09
Joey Barton is eager to stay with Newcastle despite their relegation to the Championship.
The midfielder was told to stay away from training in the wake of their 3-0 defeat at Liverpool late in the season, after he was sent off. He was also understood to have been embroiled in a row with manager Alan Shearer in the dressing room.
But Barton said: "I don't know what is going to happen with the club or with the manager. I'm just looking forward to going back and I intend to stay and help Newcastle back into the Premier League."
