Barton masterplan is revealed

It was always about money all along. Maybe not so much from Joey's point of view but from the fat weasel McKay. Rats like him need to be bleeded out of the game.

Certainly it was in McKays best interest to make this move happen. How agents can be allowed to earn so much from transfers beggars belief, and on top of that he probably gets 8-10% of Barton's earning on top of that. You can imagine how much we'll have had to pay to the agent of Marveaux and Ba, easily around £3m.

 

It's a ****ing Scandal. Rats like this are corrupting the once beautiful game.

 

True. I remember reading in Sir Bobbys autobiography that Johnny Haynes and himself used to skip optional training on a Friday to go and sell watches door to door as they made more money to help tham get by. Todays players are ruined by greed and greedy agents/"representitives" putting ideas in there heads.

 

Barton, 28, is believed to have negotiated a four-year deal comprising a £1.5m- a-year signing-on fee, £40,000 a week in wages plus a £250,000 end-of-season bonus if QPR stay up.

Sums up the whole Barton manufactured move away to me...........

 

I'd be more surprised if someone truly believed football had people who were loyal and not interested in money,Can't really have a go at the agent/player as this is modern football as the song says "it's all about the money,money,money"

anyone think this looks familiar Meireles sometimes i think it's best to take what players say with a pinch of salt as they never want to look like the bad guys,plus most clubs don't comment on transfers so you only ever hear a one sided account anyway.
The one true fact is football is full of selfish greedy lying ****ers ....unfortunately

 

Willie McKay / Jean-Alain Boumsong, nuff said.

He seems to have been around forever and trouble always seems to follow him around.

 

Amdy Faye also!!! ****ing crook!!!

 

But he kissed the badge.............and he said he loved us.................I feel very let down by these revelations............ NOT!

 

The sad thing is that people believed it was a protest at the regime and not a money dispute all along. I've actually more faith in Ashley than I do in Barton.

 

I'm sure I read somewhere that the FA can provide impartial advisers to help negotiate transfers etc., and it's much less cost to clubs and players. The amount of money payed to agents is a disgrace, if players want to fork out vast amounts of money for an agent it should come out of their pockets, either a percentage of earnings or a one off fee.

 

Paul Scholes had the right idea,any contract negotiations he done himself. Up until he retired he was one of the few gentlemen left in football(he was an annoying little ginger **** though as he always scored against us)

 

Jimmy Bullard still does, and unlike Scholes that actually includes a few transfers.

 

I'll never know and you'll never know but I don't think that Barton set out to leave Newcastle in order to make a profit. He could have done that at the end of his current contract just as well.

Basically, there are two possibilites: Bartyon set out to oputsmart Ashley and did, or they just hate each other and everything else followed. We don't have the information to make a reasoned judgement, but I don't buy the first one. I don't think that Barton's that smart or that sneaky.

 

Barton is on less a week than he was here... not really about money.

 

Not really about money ? £1.5m a year signing on fee!!!!

 

I don't believe that bit tbh. Surely the clue is in the name with a signing on fee... and it is a one off payment.

 

It would be unlike The Sun to massively exaggerate the figures.

No doubt Mckay was handsomely paid for his work on behalf of both parties but not £1.3m. Journos are desperate for any sort of scoop nowadays in the era of internet meaning nothing they're very rarely the first to a story any more.

This was the same paper that said we were definitely getting 15 points deducted and Liverpool fans were robbing dead people.

 

and 250grand if they stay up.

 

you don't believe one bit (which happens to paint him in a bad light and benefits him by paying less tax than it would if it was in with his wages and benefits QPR in the sense that it keeps their wage bill in line with there turnover) but believe another bit (which makes him look good) as i've said in the earlier post i wouldn't believe any player/agent/owner in football they all have one thing in common money and they all lie when it's the common denominator


edit can see more clubs doing this giving a big lump sum up front wage so to speak (ahem signing on fee) and smaller wages to keep in line with wage to turnover ratio
