Mick Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Barton was signed under Ashley but Shepherd was still Chairman FWIW. Shepherd was Chairman in name only FWIW, Ashley bought out Sir John on May of that year and Shepherd agreed to sell his shares the same day as Barton signed. Nothing happened at the club around that time without Ashley having a say in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Jaysus, he's still going. @TheFurlz ha u think am that naïve?....wouldn't be surprised if u were a plant from a certain discount retail org. Do me a favour and jog on I think you're pretty naive to think that that is not pretty sodding inflamatory in itself. Certainly in Ashleys eyes... and I'd agree with him. @TheFurlz I wouldn't give u or them the satisfaction......infinitely more intelligent than u think #helmet #plant #nofineshere I think whatever line there is to cross before a fine is due has already been passed sadly. @TheFurlz sold?? ?? Not a chance matey. Am here till it expires or am given a free transfer.... Now to some that may make you sound principled, but to me that just sounds like your outbursts tonight have shown you have no love for the job anymore, and now just show you fishing for a free transfer. I've defended you right to your opinion here (hell, really liked you attitude generally), but I'm now really close to wishing you'd shut up, or fuck off.

TRon Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 So what is your point then? My point is that Barton wasn't a Shepherd signing, I thought that was obvious. In that case my point is that Nolan was well paid as a Newcastle player and he should thank Ashley and Llambias from the bottom of his heart for raising his profile and pay packet for the last two years and next five onwards instead of bleating about being hard done by. He could have been stuck in Bolton reserves under Gary Megson instead after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what you say, that doesn't change anything regarding us seemingly agreeing to a new contract then going back on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 If Barton spouting that shite about his boss in any other job he would be in serious shit if not sacked, why should he be any different at Newcastle? Id like him to stay at Newcastle and continue to play, but he is behaving incredibly immature and all this is doing for me is making me want to dislike him. He really needs to keep his mouth shut or he'll be rotting in the reserves for the next year rather than actually doing a job for the first team.

ShearMagic Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I have no respect for people who slander their employers in public though, and I'm beginning to think not offering him a contract extension is the right decision.

Begbie Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Isn't it time to close down the twitter account to our players? Atleast till the transfer window closes, this cant be good if any of our potential targets read this shit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I think Pardew has to step in now. After January, Joey became more and more outspoken, and Pardew's response was to say that he didn't mind players voicing their opinions. It felt like Joey was too powerful a figure in the dressing room and/or too important on the field for him to risk confronting. The problem has steadily snowballed, and I think Pardew's inaction is partly to blame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Not that I really think potential targets are reading Joey's tweets but they will make the news which some potential players might read. Doesn't Joey realize this and how counter-productive that is to the goal he (and the club) are trying to achieve? He wants better players to come in yet better players will fuck off with this kind of news coming out. There's really only one answer to this whole thing and it's that Joey needs to tweet about his own personal stuff and keep club business/unhappiness off of his twitter.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 What does Barton think he is achieving by publicly hinting at trouble behind the scenes? The fans can't do anything about it (apart from worry). Until someone else is willing to pay Ashley what he wants for the club we're stuck with him and he's stuck with us.

Cajun Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 He seems a bit confused by what he wants to, he seems very eager to keep his friends at the club but also wants us to sign better players. His comments have already been a little disrespectful to Cabaye even if he directly meant it or not. He really does need to shut the fuck about NUFC. He thinks he is the people champion and is lapping it up but as others have said, he isn't doing anything but cause trouble. I do think there is a selfish agenda in there. The only people this will be impressing are the militant Ashley haters who seem to be happy with anything that just makes Ashley look bad, even if it is counter productive to the club as a whole.

There's really only one answer to this whole thing and it's that Joey needs to tweet about his own personal stuff and keep club business/unhappiness off of his twitter. It seems to me that Joey has constructed the justifcation in his head, that what he's doing is for the benefit of the fans and the club as a whole, in that he is exposing the problems which the owner is supposedly creating. I think the reality is that he's been hurt and embarrassed by the brush-off that he received when he didn't get a new contract, and this tweeting is an extension of that particular personal battle. He's acting like a stroppy adolescent who can't recognise his own part in the situation, or the viewpoint of other people. He comes across as so wrapped up in himself that I can't see him responding to the little heart-to-heart chats which Pardew seems to put a lot of faith in.

I was being serious, I'd be willing to go through anything for Ashley to leave the club. With him there I don't get one bit of enjoyment in following the team. I think it's disgusting how the fans/city have just let him do what he wants with the club without much protest. Personally speaking I don’t go to any matches or even watch matches on the box because I just don’t get any enjoyment from Newcastle at the moment. I even avoided this football forum for a long time and only log on at the moment because I’ve been travelling for work the best part of 8 weeks solid and also try to adopt the attitude of not taking some of the views on here too seriously. I might come over as a fair weather fan but believe me that’s not the case, just best for me if I stay away from supporting Newcastle because otherwise I just become angry/depressed about the whole situation.

Yes, because 'Boycoutts' and 'Cockney Mafia' banners did the club a world of good, and forced Ashley to chnage his ways in 2008/09 season didn't it?
