Nicky Butt Statement
A statement from Nicky Butt,
published on the official NUFC website regarding the former Manchester
United man's snub to Newcastle fans.
"There has been suggestion that I deliberately snubbed the fans
after the Semi Final on Sunday. I wish to go on record and state that
was not my intention, if anyone has been left with that impression
I apologise.
"Immediately after the game I was distraught about the result and
our performance I was also deep in thought about my own game, as I
desperately wanted to make a big impression especially against Manchester
United.
"We have a number of big games left and as a group of players we will
be giving 100% to try and improve our current league position because
that's what the fans deserve."
Meanwhile manager Graeme Souness had this to say:
"I can understand people picked up on it. But I have to say he
was playing against Manchester United, his old team, and desperately
wanted to do well.
"That did not happen on the day and I think his disappointment will
have been greater than most and I have to defend him on that.
"I know Nicky Butt is a proper human being and right now his tail
is firmly between his legs, he was a very sad man on Sunday and I
have to defend him."
