Thespence Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sam Allardyce spoke to Joey Barton yesterday and received an apology from the 25-year-old for the negative publicity caused to Newcastle United by Barton's arrest in Liverpool last week. Allardyce's plan, once tomorrow's FA Cup tie at Stoke City is over, is to visit Barton in the Hampshire clinic where the midfielder is staying as one of the alleged conditions of his bail. Allardyce does not know when he might have Barton available again as a Newcastle United footballer but the 25-year- old will not be appearing at Stoke. "I spoke to him today to just find out from him and his solicitors what can and can't be done from our point of view," Allardyce said. "It was not too long a conversation. He's relieved he's out of the holding place in Walton, he's pleased to be out. He's got to really concern himself about the case and sort that out." http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/premier-league/article3310046.ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Joey Barton might not be as hard as he thought he was. Newspaper reports alleged that the Newcastle United hard-man was having a torrid time behind bars and that he was spending his money on rice pudding and cigarettes for other inmates so that they wouldn’t do him any harm. msn.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I imagine that to scousers rice pudding tastes like some kind of gourmet version of their standard gruel, so it's understandable it would be a firm favourite and a decedant luxury to the other inmates.

Greg Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Barton therapist tells Newcastle not to expect speedy return Louise 'Mackem Slag' Taylor Tuesday January 8, 2008 The Guardian Any hopes Sam Allardyce may have harboured of welcoming Joey Barton back to his squad in the immediate future appear to have been dashed. Peter Kay, the therapist treating the Newcastle United midfielder for behavioural problems at the Sporting Chance Clinic in Hampshire, has said Barton will not kick a ball for Allardyce's team until after his next court hearing in Liverpool a week tomorrow. Barton was released from prison, where he had been remanded after being charged with assault after a night out in Liverpool, and was immediately taken to the Sporting Chance clinic. "Until the 16th of January, Joey will be with me 24 hours a day," said Kay. "As for him playing, it will not be happening in the near future. There are bail guidelines we are adhering to and we're concentrating on the work we need to do, which is going well." Although Allardyce has talked about the need to keep his player "fit" and Newcastle's lawyers have been exploring ways of enabling him to play or just train while adhering to bail conditions, Kay said that football was not Barton's current priority. "We do not play keepy-uppy in the garden; we do work of a different nature," he said. "We are getting on with the work we need to do, which is separate from football, and I could not hope for anything better than what is happening." Newcastle demonstrated their need for midfield dynamism at Stoke City as they were held to a 0-0 draw in an FA Cup third-round tie, which will be replayed next week. Should Allardyce's side prevail they will visit Arsenal in the fourth round but Shay Given admits that a Newcastle replay win is far from a foregone conclusion."The main thing was to avoid defeat," said the club's Ireland goalkeeper. "But the tie is not over yet." Allardyce yesterday completed the signing of Ben Tozer, a 17-year-old defender from Swindon Town who has agreed a 4½-year contract at Newcastle. He is likely to be loaned back to a League One club for the rest of the season to gain experience. http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2237068,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrette Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 We'd just tear up the contract wouldn't we (depending on how long he'd get sent down for)? No denying the guy has a bit of ability about him but for the money we spent on him and how things have worked out he's really not been worth it. Contributes absolutely nothing at the moment and having a court case on his mind all the time doesn't help matters for him or for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
