stozo Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 They shouldn't pay Barton anything. Man City have bent over backward to accomadate him over the last few years, by all rights his career should have been finished when he stubbed the cigar in the other kids eye. I'm looking forward to seeing Barton at Newcastle but he is fucking Man City over good and proper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 It's a similar situation to when we sold Ferguson back to Everton, he wanted a pay off but we didn't think he deserved one iirc. Anyone remember if he got it in the end? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 They shouldn't pay Barton anything. The City management agreed to him having the release clause in his contract, they should of inserted something if it is activated it is the equivalent of Barton putting in a transfer request. Man City agreed to the contract so they should stick to it, the fault is with Man City for being glumfucks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatTheFunk Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 The f****** cheek of it, f****** loyalty bonus?!? Don't get me started on the Dabo s****, but the idea that a player who asks for and gets a buyout clause in his contract deserves a loyalty bonus when someone activates it!??! For. Fucks. Sake. I can't wait till all this over and I can turn me back on this s****. Thing is I agree with you there....but is it really him? or is it that Willie cunt playing dirty games? That concerns me more than anything with the Barton deal. Fantastic player, and City are unlucky he come out with his immature disrespectful bouts whilst on your books...but you always wonder how much influence an agent can have on any player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, I'm not ITK.

KaKa Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Barton's demand for City loyalty money delays deal By Andy Hunter Published: 09 June 2007 Joey Barton's proposed transfer to Newcastle has been delayed by his demands for a £300,000 "loyalty payment" from Manchester City. The England international agreed in principle to join Newcastle in a five-year deal worth £60,000-a-week on Tuesday, having also requested permission to speak to West Ham United when both clubs triggered the £5.5m release clause in his City contract. However, his St James' Park contract remains unsigned because of a dispute over his departure from City and his current employers are adamant the midfielder will not be sold until he backs down. Barton, who has been suspended on full pay for the past six weeks following a training ground incident that left team-mate Ousmane Dabo requiring hospital treatment, insists he is entitled to the payment from City as he never handed in a transfer request. For their part, the club contest he lost his entitlement to any loyalty money when he requested permission to speak to Newcastle and West Ham once his release clause was activated. There is also a ground-swell of opinion within City that Barton has received ample support from the club throughout his chequered career - they paid for the 24-year-old to receive anger-management lessons from the Sporting Chance Clinic last year, for example - and that a £300,000 payment on their part would, according to a source, "go beyond the pale when he has exercised his right to speak to other clubs and is on the cusp of a contract said to be worth £16m". Sam Allardyce had hoped to make Barton, who is currently on police bail over his alleged training ground fight with Dabo, his first signing as Newcastle manager but remains confident the impasse can be broken over the weekend and that the midfielder will follow Mark Viduka into St James'. Thaksin Shinawatra's proposed £90m takeover of City, meanwhile, is edging closer towards a successful resolution with the former Thai prime minister reportedly on the brink of tabling an official offer to chairman John Wardle. A senior source close to Thaksin moved to reassure supporters over the current delays last night, when he told The Independent: "The deal is absolutely on course and could go through at any time. Next week is looking the strongest possibility. Fans should not be dismayed that it's taking a long time. It was in the public domain long before it should have been and these deals take time. As it is, from start to finish it will be quicker than most takeovers." The same source also revealed that no firm offers have been made to a potential replacement for Stuart Pearce as manager since the first-choice candidate, Claudio Ranieri, elected to join Juventus this week, with the Thais anxious to avoid an awkward repeat. "[There will be] no serious talk on that until the paperwork for the takeover is signed and sealed," the source said yesterday. http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/news/article2636194.ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
