Newcastle manager Alan Pardew indicated Thursday that Joey Barton’s career at St James’ Park may not be at an end despite the midfielder’s outspoken Twitter outbursts.
The 28-year-old has been placed on a free transfer by the Magpies after his recent criticism of the club on the social networking site.
But he trained with the reserve team Thursday and Pardew insisted Barton could yet stay with the north-east club.
“I’ve never closed the door on anyone and I’m not closing the door on Joey,” Pardew told a news conference.
