Class!!

 

found this long winded but good read

This is old news as we all know but there seems to have been an interesting development regarding this outburst by a certain Barry McIntosh.

In a slightly amusing twist of fate, and if North East football correspondent for the Sun Steve Brenner is to be trusted, Mr. McIntosh doesn’t even represent the player! This actually makes a lot of sense as Swiss TV was reporting Barnetta was on a £27k p/w deal – whether or not that is converted or in funny money, I have no idea – nor do I know the difference.

The words the spook agent used were:

“They have made an approach, but their offer equates to somewhere in the region of £40,000-a-week – which is just ridiculous. Why on earth would Tranquillo move to Newcastle for less money?”

“No offense to Newcastle, he would possibly consider going to Arsenal, Liverpool even Tottenham for less – but not Newcastle.”

If truth be told, that’s a rather scathing attack on us for very little reason but, seemingly, to get his name in the press. Personally I think this is all hilarious now the truth has came out – and it certainly appears to be true as Sky Sports have pulled the article from their website.

Steve Brenner said this on, of course, Twatter Twitter:

So loudmouth Barry McIntosh doesn’t represent Barnetta at all. Yet he was slagging off #nufc bid this morning? Agents pretending to be agents.

Sometimes you can’t help but laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of it all and hopefully most of you join me in a good old fashioned, hearty, Geordie guffaw – you truly couldn’t make this stuff up.

Being of a generally inquisitive nature and in the mood for some e-sleuthing, I stopped trying to find out who was threatening Duncan Bannatyne’s daughter and turned my intentions to this curious fellow and was unsurprised by what I found.

Turns out he appears to be one of those “expensive free agent” pushers, representing a certain Ewerthon who we were chasing last January after the sale of a certain Andy Carroll. At the time he handled himself with a certain grace and dignity in his dealings, saying simply that Ewerthon was considering his options.

That reply is short and sweet thanks to the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that everybody discussing a contract (the agent) is required to sign. Basically saying that the details of such will not be given to the press, so why did he say those mean, mean words about our beloved club?

Well, it’s obvious he wasn’t under any particular NDA and if he was it must have been very loosely worded to the point where “can complain in the press about nasty, nasty Newcastle about somebody you don’t actually represent.”

 

I did think it was a bit weird that he referred to him as "Tranquillo", you would've thought he'd have given him a nickname so he doesn't have to say the long winded name so often...something like Tranny for instance

 

So McIntosh's credibility has more holes than Swiss cheese.
