Jayson Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Barton really fancies himself as some sort of revolutionary hero of the people. Complete moron. Talk about an inflated opinion of ones self. Then again the way the way some of you have been fawning over him on twitter it's no surprise. The whole twitter thing is just a disaster. Giving these undeserved idiots a forum to utter any thought that comes into their thick heads is just tragic. Not really in a position to use that against people whilst calling others morons/idiots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'll put my neck out here and say Arsenal will howk us by at least three clear goals. I might place a 100 bet on us to beat them tbh. There are 3 reasons why we won't lose against them. Eh? You must have money to burn mate as we are gonna get tonked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Barton's comments are causing unnecessary aggravation. No idea what his motivation is for some of them - is he trying to divide the players? Is he undermining the people who pay him circa £50k a week? Is he deliberately drawing outside attention to this unrest? Is he trying to force his way out of the club? Is he just sticking up for his mates? His stupid comments certainly aren't helping the club and only ensure that the media microscope will be focused on the players even more. We all know what Ashley and Llambias are all about and they've (mis)managed the club for the last few seasons. We know about the lack of investment and ambition off the field but Barton's creating even more pressure for the players on the field now too. He needs to shut the fuck up - his comments are helping no-one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It does seem the players on the biggest wages are kicking up the biggest stink publicly about contract terms, both in terms of length and size of salary. The different versions of squad solidarity might be down to the big earners resenting the new guys coming in and undermining their positions reading between the lines. We have to get rid of the malcontents asap if this is the case. Barton's claims to give 100% this season are clearly bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/5526418/Newcastle-pay-Joey-Barton-675000-a-year-for-image-rights.html This season, having recovered from injury to help Newcastle's failed efforts to avoid relegation, he was rashly sent off in a crucial game with Liverpool and had to be restrained in a post-match confrontation with interim manager Alan Shearer. The club explored the possibility of sacking him for his actions but are now desperately trying to find a buyer for a player whose total earnings come to nearly £65,000 per week. With Michael Owen at the end of his contract, Barton's image rights payments – which work out at roughly £13,000 a week – are believed to be at least £200,000 higher than those of his best paid team-mates. While most high profile players receive just over 10 per cent of their basic salary, Barton, whose contract runs until 2012, is paid just over 20 per cent.

Mick Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'd say he's on at least £60k. Last of the Shepherd contracts and all that. Barton was signed under Ashley in as much as he had to agree to the transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Barton was never just going to get on with it, once he didn't get the contract he wanted. His claims that he would run down his contract, and wouldn't agree to a move, were cleary antagonistic. His aim is to be as much of a nuisance as possible, and damn the consequences. Very, very selfish person. He's then attempting to pass this off as him being some sort of martyr for the fans. Pitiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were implying that a hand shake should be enough in the Nolan thread ( a player you hated btw) and now you are using a technicality to make Barton's wage an Ashley deal when you know fine well it was a Shepherd one in all but name. At least show some consistency if you want to use the moral standpoint Mick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Makes me think that in those first few months Ashley was like a kid in a sweet shop. "What? Geremi wants 60k a week? Yeah ok whatever, let's get down Blu Bamboo for a party!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
