The relationship between him and the board must be unfathomably bad if Ashley is willing to lose money on him by releasing him.

Understand suggestions Joey Barton is being released by #nufc are correct
 
Club statement to be released soon regarding Barton apparently.

He was already being forced out next July, correct, but to me at least his antics on twitter look like he's trying to get out this summer (or incite a revolution) while not looking like a deserter. I may have believed that he joined twitter for innocent reasons, but he did so within hours of him and his agent putting out statements about the lack of a contract offer, which is very suspicious behaviour, especially given how he's then used twitter to badmouth his bosses multiple times.

Can't see it myself. The bottom line is it comes down to the club. If they had offered him a contract none of this would have happened. They didn't want to offer him this and wanted him out as part of their cost cutting plans (a la Nolan/Carroll). This plus the others has created a bad atmosphere and environment. Why not just come out and say we are trying to reduce costs to lower our debt levels. This will involve selling players on high wages. Wouldn't be nice to hear but its a hell of a lot better than the disrespectful, unprofessional and destructive process we are going through. They just don't get running a football club. Maybe they're well aware of this and don't really give a **** as they are preparing for sale. But its seems a high risk strategy if you look at our current squad and morale.
