Joey Barton (now retired)

[Mr. Snrub]

Article is a load of shit, Niall Hickman should crawl out of Ashley's arse.

[oldtype]

Is the Del Boy reference in the first paragraph a roundabout way of implying that the 'senior club source" is Llambias?

[jdckelly]

thing is I remember what normally very reliable sources (Caulkin for example) was saying before deadline day that Barton was going to sign a new deal so that part of the article is believable

Perhaps Barton moved the goalposts after Carroll was sold. Not hard to imagine.

Then there was the occasion when Barton said that he'd sign a new contract once Nolan did.

[mrmojorisin75]

WTF, go to bed and look what happens

 

this summer could end up very bad for us, very bad if we're not careful

[Stottie]

Yet another shitstorm at perfect shitstorm timing. This fecking club!

 

Didn't Barton say he'd stick around or go on a free? Does that mean he's basically blackmailed the club into letting him go for nowt regardless of whatever perceived value he has?

"New Amazing Newcastle Crisis."

 

Fuck man, what would we all have to read/discuss/get riled up over, if NUFC was one of those boring, stable clubs?  

[Stottie]

I don't like clicking links to the Sun but that one says

 

McKay added: "I can't understand what Newcastle are doing but if they want to let Joey go it's their choice."

 

If Barton has said he won't go for a fee, has the club got any say if they want rid?

 

Before anyone assumes otherwise, this doesn't mean I expect any kind of replacement or think the club is being properly run.

McKay added that Barton was disappointed when talks of a new deal broke down, but is confident the midfielder still has a bright future.

 

"Joey was disappointed. There was no way we were going to take a cut in his wages. He wanted four years, they wanted three," added McKay.

 

thought he was willing to take a pay cut to stay

[Guest VegasToon]

There is always more to every story.  Barton needs to move on and so do we.

 

 

[oldtype]

Well, one thing's for sure: Willie McKay must be having the time of his f***ing life.

“We had agreed a deal with Joey in January on a new contract and shook hands on that. But then he changed his mind and became a disruptive source in the camp.

 

 

Just wondering  if this quote is true

 

The fact that you're asking if it's true means you have had your head in the sand for the last 2 years or so.

 

Let's look at the facts:

 

Keegan - proved them to be utterly shameful liars in a court of law

 

Relegated

 

Shearer - completely ignored, not had phone calls returned about position

 

What we are left with is a bunch of people who actually gave a s*** and don't tell me that's not true as several people on here, myself included felt that about the players who brought us back up.

This group of players, some of who were on large contracts would not be willingly, or perhaps most importantly sold by their current manger as he sees how important this team spirit thing is.

 

Hughton - Surprise, surprise, just before being sacked stories of 'player power' appear in certain newspapers. He is then sacked with some rubbish about next level and losing control doing the rounds

 

Pardew - appointed. The dismantling of the group of players begins. Goes on to vomit and s*** varies quotes about the club/players and then, surprise, surprise again, the opposite happens. Rants on about the size and altogether wonderfulness of deals being offered to the players

 

Carroll - Local lad, told him to f*** off to anyone who offered silly money. Tried to make it appear that he wanted to leave. Carroll talks about the fans knowing the truth.

 

Nolan - Pivotal figure in dressing room regardless of opinions on ability/fitness. Club understandably want to reduce wages etc, Nolan wants to get a good deal. Nolan out, compromising which normally happens between the player and club in this situation doesn't happen. Utterances about age, money, contract length and not willing to compromise from club. Nolan denies and talks of fans knowing the truth.

 

Enrique - Although this started a while ago, is posturing for a better deal, then sees the team being dismantled around him and probably wants out. Who can blame him. Victim of Pardews contracting offerings speech, which it turns out was the same contract offered to him before.

 

Barton - Along the lines of Enrique, only decides to get more militant on twitter. Speaks about fans knowing the truth. Booted out, oh look the club source is quoting again. Not the clubs fault......

 

Other players such as Routledge talk about the truth and how the club is being run as well.

 

 

I'm sure I've missed out a few links quotes etc that will back this up, but how ANYONE can believe the club is utterly beyond me.

 

I don't blame Barton, I like his style and how he's gone about starting to expose them.

 

As for this season, I reckon apart from this team becoming the best of mates in record time and hardly any injuries we're pretty much f***ed.

Just who pulled the plug on the contract the club or Barton ? could be both parties are as bad as each other

[thewellander]

If I were to guess, I would imagine that the bit about Joey becoming disruptive is true. If he was willing to slag off his employers on twitter, just imagine what he was saying to the other players privately.

"Willing to slag off his employers". I think most of the players are aware of how shitty our owner & company is. It's just about one opiniated person letting it all out in public. Doesn't change a thing in our current squad. From the reactions of different players re this transfer list thing, you can see he is a well liked man. It would be a hell of a lot more disruptive to let him go.

Listen from 19mins very interesting Barton was not offered any new contract and Pardew is merely a puppet

I was listening until McKay told me Champions League clubs were after Barton. I just assumed the rest would also be lies.

[Amir_9]

Unimpressed. I know Ashley and Llambias are scum of the earth.

 

But for someone who claims he loves the club and wants to give his all week in week out, couldn't he have played his final year with his gob shut and feet on the ground? Or at least mull for a transfer now and leave with his head high. (and the same goes for Jose f***ing Enrique)  Regardless of what the f*** is happening behind the scenes, he had a year left. After the way this club had stood by him I think this unacceptable.

 

I'm not an Ashley ''apologist'' but for someone who loves the club, doing what he just did, not only is it terrible timing, but its not something someone who ''loves'' the club would do. Footballers are like those teenagers who post their crap on social networks I swear.

 

Regardless, I wish him all the best, he indeed was a beast for us the last two seasons.

[Guest]

The more I think about this, the more I wonder what he was playing at with his Tweets. Did he think he was too important to us this season that we'd not do anything? He must have known what he was writing would get into the media and looked down upon by the club, so why do it? Stupid.

Oh Christ, Steve Wraith on SSN.

If you love a club and wants to play there and it is run like a brothel, wouldnt you try to speak up so people would know what was going on behind the scenes? Maybe the current regime would change their approach towards our players, and we wont be in this shit again.  It sucks working for someone who doesnt have a clue i normal lifes, so i guess it does it in the football world.

[Guest Geordiesned]

Fucking hell that Express article!

 

"Newcastle’s hierarchy say Barton tried to impose his own musical tastes on the dressing room – he is not a fan of the latest rap sounds – and players have complained that he is obsessed about getting his own way.

Seasoned England players were not impressed when Barton made his international debut four years ago and persuaded then-boss Steve McClaren not to hand him a second cap."

 

What an absolute pile of shite!

 

 

[Guest]

That article.

[TRon]

I still.think they had a bit of a boys club going on and felt they run the club but as soon as they didn't get everything they wanted the toys came out. Makes it easier that the players are fully aware of the fans animosity.

 

Unfortunately I have a lot of time for all those involved in this shit. Barton has been getting pretty boring recently though and someone with his obvious intelligence can't claim ignorance to this affecting the overall morale of the team. He is looking after himself first and foremost, he just has a good idea of how to push the right buttons and come across like he is trying to be the whistle blower the fans are apparently begging for.

 

This basically. There were clues earlier on when Joey first started tweeting and before that as well, but I was prepared to believe Joey would knuckle down and give 100% in his final year here. That was obviously never his intention or his lying scumbag agent's either. The talk of a top four club is laughable. If he had one lined up he wouldn't be threatening to stay here I can promise you that much. He's just out to cause as much aggro as possible, that much is clear to anyone with an open mind.
