Newcastle boss Pardew clears air with Enrique after Spanish interview

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has cleared the air with Jose Enrique.

The Spanish left-back says an interview given to a Spanish newspaper was taken out of context last week.

Pardew told The Journal: "Jose was upset about it on Thursday. He was upset with how it had been reported - he made that plain to me.

"I said to him 'Look, it happens.' It happens to me and I'm experienced with the media over my playing career and my time in management.

"But the most important thing with the Jose Enrique situation is that it really hasn't changed. We're not safe and he doesn't want to talk to us until we're safe.

"That is what we discussed yesterday. We will worry about the next game and I look forward to talking to Jose and his advisors when we're safe. But our immediate priority is to win the next game - and to get to the 40-point mark."
