Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

You can justify this decision based on his outbursts and wages if you want, but crucially, I can't see anyone coming in to replace Barton.

 

What actually goes on on the pitch seems incidental to some people.  Don't lose sight of important things like money sitting in a bank account or players doing stuff on twitter by getting all wound up about who we're actually going to play in 12 days.

 

Don't assume this will be the only outgoing either.

 

With all due respect, what the hell are you talking about? This decision has nothing to do with money sitting in a bank account at all.

 

At least find the right thread of ill-informed generalising.

 

Ian, they've got his wages off the books, which is one of the main reasons Pardew was brought in if we're to believe Golfmag (i see no reason not to since he was absolutely right about Pardew coming in ages before time). He will not be replaced by anyone, money saved.

No one person is bigger than Newcastle United Football Club. Well unless your name is Mike fucking Ashley or Derek cunting Llambias that is!

 

Yes Barton has probably been stupid but the fact is him, Enrique and Routledge wouldn't have been tweeting negative things about the club (and Nolan slating them in the press) if we didn't have a couple of useless, clueless liars in charge!

Aye, but that's just an effect, it's clear that Barton brought this into the public domain and brought the situation to a head. Unless Llambias is secretly running his twitter account.

I'm speaking in a wider sense about some people's reaction when Ashley does something which has an absolutely undeniable negative effect on our ability to perform as a football club.  That selling Carroll was the right decision from a financial perspective, that releasing Barton is the right decision from a PR perspective because he doesn't toe the party line on twitter.  If you have to stop looking at things from a football perspective to try and convince yourself they're OK you need to press your reset button and go back to thinking like a football fan.
