Teasy Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 But if they could come to a compromise it would be well worth it for us if he ends up going for a fee next season. Unless we seriously think we can win a case against him for compensation of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Or we just sack him. And then sue him to reclaim some or all of the transfer fee we paid for him, like Chelsea are doing with Mutu. Not a cat in hell's chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 http://www.newspostleader.co.uk/newcastleunited/Barton-won39t-take-pay-cut.4190731.jp NEWCASTLE United's troubled midfielder Joey Barton may get a lifeline from Bolton Wanderers as his agent states the player will 'not' take a pay-cut'. The Magpies have reportedly told the player, currently serving a six-month prison sentence, that he either takes a 50 per cent cut in pay or he will be looking for a new club. But speaking to the Manchester Evening News, the ex-Manchester City player's agent said te offer had been rejected. Agent Willie McKay said: "Joey won't be taking a pay-cut. "I hope he soon gets his football career back on track with Newcastle." Newcastle are believe to be making no further move on the issue until after Barton's next court appearance. He is due back in court at the end of this month on a charge of alleged assault on former Man City team-mate Ousmane Dabo. Now Bolton are one of several Premier League clubs who could be set to offer Barton a lifeline when he is released from prison. Wanderers are hoping to secure a season-long loan deal. Gary Megson has been linked with a shock move although such a deal could alienate large sections of Bolton's supporters. While Wanderers' supporters would welcome Barton's playing ability, they might not want to have the club's reputation sullied because of his bad boy reputation.

Guest Robert 32 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Premier League footballer Joey Barton has admitted assaulting a former team-mate in a training ground row. The Newcastle United midfielder was due to go on trial at Manchester Minshull Crown Court over the incident. The 25-year-old changed his plea shortly before the scheduled start. He attacked Ousmane Dabo during a training ground bust-up on 1 May last year when both played for Manchester City. beeb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 was mort on board when barton's contract was negotiated? if so, him being a lawyer and all, you'd think he'd have had the foresight to consider this happening from the outset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have said he didnt do it and we believed him. Surely on the basis he lied to us (if he did) we could sack him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
