Steven Taylor is understood to feel badly betrayed by Newcastle United and now believes he has no future at the club, reports The Guardian. The former England Under-21 centre-half had his jaw broken in an alleged altercation with a team-mate, striker Andy Carroll last Sunday. Taylor, who spent two nights in hospital and required surgery, has been dismayed by the support Carroll is receiving both from within St James' Park and from Newcastle's supporters.

It seems Toon boss Chris Hughton, Newcastle's manager accepts the two Geordies can no longer work together and has decided the centre-forward is the player he wants to keep.

Taylor has only 14 months left on his contract and Newcastle are unhappy about the prospect of him leaving on a Bosman transfer in the summer of 2011. Selling him now would give them the chance to avoid doing so.
