Beye, who wanted to end his career at Newcastle but has seen talks on a new deal stall due to the uncertainty on Tyneside, publicly declared his will to leave last week. Yet while many fans believe the players should stick at it and repay the United faithful others will understand his decision to leave. Beye added: “Quite rightly they expect Newcastle to go back to the Premier League at the first attempt. “They have been with us right from the start and they have backed us. “They did in Ireland and again in Darlington. “Yes, it was a friendly game, but they showed what great fans they were by singing all of the way through. “They even did it at Aston Villa after we went down. Those are true supporters and one thing we still have at this club. “They were behind us all last season, which must have been hard. “And they show us players they are behind us, which means so much.” Beye, who has already been linked with Greek giants Panathinaikos, Portsmouth and Sunderland, played 45 minutes in the United back four against Darlington and was happy to came through it unscathed. Reflecting on the 7-2 win, he said: “It was all right and I came through it. “The important thing about these games is to remain fit. “You must avoid injury and try to get your fitness up in every game. “I think for 45 minutes it was good for me. “We won 7-2 but, I think while it’s good to win the game so comfortably, everybody played between 45-60 minutes and we have kept something for the next game. “The fitness is better every day.” |
