Newcastle winger Damien Duff has vowed to remain at St James' Park and hopes Alan Shearer will remain as manager.
Duff's own goal at Aston Villa sealed Newcastle's relegation and the 30-year-old said: "I'm devastated. I don't know what words can describe the way I feel.
"I'm as loyal as they come and, whether the gaffer stays or goes, I'd love to try to get Newcastle back up.
"If there's one man to get us back up it's Alan Shearer. I've loved working with him and it's been a proper club."
It is the second time Duff has experienced relegation, having been part of the Blackburn squad that went down in the 1998-99 season.
"When it happened at Blackburn, I wasn't planning on seeing it again in my career. It's not a nice feeling," said the Republic of Ireland international, who joined Newcastle from Chelsea in 2006.
That really doesn't surprise me because no that final game isn't what sent them down, their poor performance over the full 38 did but that final game did end all hope and it was Duff's own goal that ended all hope. He has to feel that he ows the fans.
Money wise it would be beneficial but they need as much good players as possible who have a lot of experience. Him staying increases their chance of coming back up IMO.

Probably but he's been awful in the Prem. He would need to take a big pay cut and from what I understand, there were no relegation clauses in contracts.
They need a clearout, but at least Duff appears to have the right attitude.
