Toon target staying at Ipswich

Going nowhere

Bramble, who is wanted by Newcastle and Arsenal, says that he believes the club have a strong future based on youth - even if that future will begin with a spell in the nationwide leagues.

"I expect to still be here next season. I've got no reason to leave," said Bramble today.

"If we do go down we have the players and youngsters coming through, particularly Darren Bent and Darren Ambrose, to help us come straight back up. I think we would be in the best situation of the three teams going down."
