OK his deal is up next summer, he's been told he won't be retained but why release him for FREE. Arsenal, Spurs, Villa, Everton etc the queue would be out the door for circa £5million
For the sake of making a big statement, Ashley has just waived that money that NUFC could have had if I was a fan I'd be disgusted.
Somewhere in those high echelons of NUFC, they have decided, I am persona non grata. web • 01/08/2011 16:54

One day the board might realise, what the shirt signifies. HONOUR and PRIDE. Thanks for your continued support........... #toonarmy web • 01/08/2011 16:59
Latest from Barton.
First time he has been released without charge that's for sure...
Agent Pardew ruining another club. Athough this is out of his hands they can't afford to let players like him go.
That a side, why do players continue to twitter stupid things? Isn't it better to talk privately to manager or board. It's Barton I suppose. Couldn't they get 500,000 for him, why free?
I've been thinking about who to back as my outsider to go down but I think this news may have made my mind up. Especially with you know who in charge for a full season.
Hmmmmm, remind me again of how much of the Andy Carroll 35 million transfer fee has been re-invested in the team?
Bugger all? Yep, that's what I thought.
Bottom line on all of this is that it looks more and more like Hughton was refusing to sell Carroll and got the sack as a result, Pardew was brought in to sell Carroll and take the consequent flak and is doing so in return for a nice few quid.
Football, what a lovely 'business' it is these days.
Mike ashley runs things on a shoe string budget, he keeps a eye on every penny, he also don't stand for any crap.
Barton steps out of line making comments on twitter about how the club is run when really it's not his business, I guess Ashley is keen to stress no man is bigger than the club...
Disagree. I think it is his business. He joined Newcastle to win things, they sell Carroll for 35m, Enrique set to go, no money reinvested. Same with Hume at Preston. He signed permanently because he was told they would be mounting a serious promotion bid. First they try to sell. Mellor then today they sell Treacey. Hume feels he has been lied to and signed on false promises. It is his career, of course it is his business.
Comments
Carrol, Nolan, Barton were all key last season. Pardew is magic
Barton said he will be making some announcement at 4pm..

My Geordie mates up here are gutted about the Barton news. Really fear for them this season and so do they.
