Cajun Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Given the joey Barton tax on his tackles it is actually quite an achievement. Let's not forget his shocking, appalling, disgraceful, shameful acts against Liverpool. So shocking they couldn't bring themselves to repeat them on motd.

David28 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Please let this be true. (and successful) JOEY BARTON AND NEWCASTLE SET TO HOLD PEACE TALKS Sunday August 7,2011 By John Richardson TROUBLED Newcastle United star Joey Barton has agreed to meet the club’s hierarchy this week to end the tweeting war. Newcastle last week lost patience with their midfielder, banishing him to train with the kids and telling him he was free to join another club. Owner Mike Ashley had become fed up with what he perceived as damaging tweets from the controversial Barton, who has effectively been ‘banned’ by England boss Fabio Capello, as exclusively revealed in today’s Sunday Express. But now, following conciliatory talks between Barton’s advisor and club officials, it has been agreed that the player and his agent will meet St James’ Park chief executive Derek Llambias. That has been set up for early this week, and if the talks go well Barton will be taken off the transfer list and could face Arsenal on Saturday evening in the Premier League. If Barton remains at Newcastle, where he could even be offered a new contract, the disappointed clubs will include Stoke City, Everton and Aston Villa. Among those who wants Barton to stay is former Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd, who revealed he would love to buy back the club. Shepherd, who still regrets joining Sir John Hall in selling out to Ashley, confessed: “If the price was right I’d look at buying the club.” One of Shepherd’s last acts as Toon supremo was to sanction the signing of Barton for £5.8million from Manchester City. He has looked on in bewilderment as the row between the player and the Toon management escalated, and Shepherd believes the situation could have been handled better. “Barton’s a £6m player, there’s no doubt about that,” he said. “Football, though, is like no other business. You wouldn’t look to get rid of an asset like him for nothing in any other industry.” Shepherd would love to be back in the boardroom – but he can’t see it happening. “I don’t think Mike would sell to me,” he said. “Maybe for a billion pounds!” ROCHDALE boss Steve Eyre has offered to let Barton train with his League One club. Eyre, who was a youth coach at Manchester City when Barton was a player at the club, said: “He was as good as gold for me.” http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/263493/Joey-Barton-and-Newcastle-set-to-hold-peace-talks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Cannot believe Pardew will begin dialogue like this with Joey next week or just a figure of speech “Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday me and Joey will have a couple of texts and we’ll take it from there.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonTastic Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Or that loans are fine as long as they can be paid which ours could seen as they were backed by min 31,000 coming to the stadium. Think they would have been paid off 2012 or 2013 as well if I remember rightly. The rest of the debt was player installments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want Shepherd anywhere near the club, he damn near led us to financial meltdown last time the fat oaf. It was horrendous when we had no money wasn't it. I used to cry myself to sleep when we paid a decent fee for a player and I was forced to travel to foreign lands watching the useless cunts play in those shit european competitions. I had a few beers while I was there but it tasted oh so bitter. It's much better now. Two words: Leeds Ridsdale That's not an Ashley defence in any shape or form but people defending Shepherd and the mountain of debt we were left with need to stop pretending there weren't going to be consequences to his reckless Hollywood transfers.

ujpest doza Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 A well placed ITK on another forum reckons Mckay has been telling all and sundry that Barton will be offered a new contract on tuesday on the terms they shook hands on in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 It's not even about whether Shepherd can be responsible this time, or that he increasingly brought in and backed dreadful managers, or his regular idiotic verbals in the press, or the enourmous amounts of money he and his family syphoned from the coffers. Simply put, he has relatively fuck all money to be a premiership owner, so more than likely he'd need a loan to get the club and then run to the banks again any time we need a cash injection or another random marquee signing, something the banks are unlikely to want to accomodate any time soon. Shepherd. Fuck that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Barton has backed down from his 4 year deal demand that scuppered it last time? Would be the perfect solution if only it was true but not sure either side have it in them to eat humble pie.
