“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

 

Same quote was given to talk sport this morning. This person also told Talksport that we are after 3 players, a full back, a midfielder and a striker. Believe of that what you will.

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.

 

Add to this the rumours that the rest of the people in this group, namely Harper and Smith are also now being forced out. I'm all for wanting rid of disruptive influences but surely the club has to understand that a group like that is (I know I mentioned Smith but still) all pulling together in the same direction will help the club progress. You need that sort of team to succeed otherwise you end up looking like Man City currently doing with players coming out in the press saying they hate the city and no togetherness at all.

Lee Ryder's piece on the Chronicle site is unreal. The arselicker puts the blame fully at Barton's feet without a single reference of the shambolic ownership and their lack of investment this summer.

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.

Agree with you both have to say in away as they are both relevent in this situation and for once i wish Joey had of kept his mouth shut over this on twitter,engineer his own move i dont know but we will lose a player who would have been more than useful next season and will not get replaced imho  :sadnod:

To be fair Joey has played right into their hands and made it very easy for them. Talk about giving them enough rope, given his history and vocal opinions the papers will be queuing up to have a pop at him while the board escape blame free.

Sorry keep hearing this tripe on the radio, the club didn't stand by him they tried to get rid of Barton they just refused to sack him cause they would lose out on the fee for the player and wouldn't pay off his contract because they would then have to spend some cash. Lets get real here the board only ever do what helps them bring in cash noubt else. Same reason they haven't released the player now cause they will have to pay up his final year of his contract.

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

 

The moving of the goalpost (wanting more money), was in The Sun article last night too.

 

I hate to say it but it is beginning to look like he has been causing trouble, if we believe all the stuff being written that is.

It's funny how so much can change in such a short space of time. A few weeks ago after our initial signings, the positivity was back. I genuinley thought that the magical £35M was going to be spent in helping us flesh out our squad with quality players. This hasn't and clearly won't happen. This club is being torn apart and it's horrible to watch. As ever though, we (the fans) will be here in the aftermath of it all, left to pick up the pieces. As for this season, I can't see anything other than a relegation dogfight right now. Horrible considering this was the summer we had a real chance to kick on when instead, we've gone backwards and look to be on a slippery slope.

When it all comes from the same source at Newcastle who happens to have been told in a court that he lied to deceive the fans I believe nothing.

Notice the "It is a fact that..." Llambias-style list in the middle. Same old bullshit. Some of it may even have substance, but when you churn out the same nonsense every time we shift a player then I don't see why anyone should believe a word.

In any premier league squad, 25 young, rich, famous and confident blokes who are at the very highest level of their profession, you'll have at least a handful of people that would happily publicly moan about it if their bosses were such utter morons, ran the club in such an unprofessional way and fucked their playing staff about.  Put Mike and Derek at the top of any club in the Premier League and you'll quickly find that the more outspoken and social network savvy in the squad are airing their grievances. It's not just that we've been unlucky enough to have particularly impudent players in the form of Nolan, Jose, Barton, Routledge...

 

Means we have to narrow our transfer targets even further to timid and humble types or Scholes style private players, which considering we're already aiming for people that are on the cheap because they come with some kind of undesirable baggage is pretty limiting.

I find his corners to be poor and his direct free kicks borderline pointless.

 

Thank you! Someone else has been watching matches with their eyes open!!

I don't know why you say it's the 'same old nonsense'. No-one suggested that Carroll or Nolan were troublemakers.

 

Given that Barton has a history of bust-ups with team-mates, and given that his statements over the last few months (eg best English midfield player bar possibly Wilshere) have become increasingly egotistical and eccentric, it's not unbelievable that at least some of that account is true. I feel that various managers have been prepared to indulge him, because he's a talented player and they don't want to lose him.

 

Pardew had this hope that Joey would knuckle down this season and that way earn the contract that he wanted, but I can't see that that was ever going to be Joey's reaction to the situation. He's effectively been demoted and his reaction was far more likely to be resentment and a desire to hit back.

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.

 

I'm prepared to take a pay cut

 

Lying fuck.
