Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 NEWCASTLE United appear to be keen to break player power at St James’ Park after Kevin Nolan joined Joey Barton in contract limbo.With Alan Smith told he should look for a new club this summer as he will not be a regular starter next year, Newcastle could potentially lose three of the players committee which played such a big role in the club’s return to the top flight under previous manager Chris Hughton. Should Barton be forced to leave – a real possibility given the potential disruption he will cause if he stays for the final year of his contract – and Nolan also decides that the break down in contract talks is an insult he cannot ignore, only Steve Harper will remain of that committee. The Journal understands that the club’s hierarchy were irritated by the fact senior players are willing to dispute their decision making, as well as the large amount of power they carry at the training ground when it comes to first-team affairs. Although Chris Hughton was sacked in December and replaced by Alan Pardew, the new manager has sensibly worked with the senior players rather than fought them. However, despite his public assurances he will get Barton and Nolan to stay, Pardew does not play any part in contract negotiations and is not involved in the arguments and rows which have broken out behind the scenes, despite the successful conclusion to last season. Nolan, who is 29 and not blessed with pace, rejected the club’s offer of a two-year extension to his current contract a fortnight ago because it was too heavily reliant on incentives to give him the financial package he wanted. A source close to the former Bolton Wanderers star insisted last night that “there is no sign of a resumption in talks”. The United skipper had initially insisted he wanted a new five-year package, adding three years to the two he has left to run on his existing deal. But The Journal has been told this was just a negotiating stance in the belief he would get a deal which tied him to United for the next four years. Newcastle, though, are steadfastly refusing to be lumbered with players over 30 on lucrative long-term contracts, and have broken off talks with Nolan’s representatives in an echo of the Barton breakdown a fortnight ago. It is another worrying development, particularly as Nolan is skipper and hugely influential on and off the pitch. Like Barton, he is popular with supporters and likely to win the public relations battle, regardless of whether his demands are reasonable or not given the club’s refusal to speak in public. Newcastle supporters are likely to endure yet another ‘will he, won’t he’ saga following similar problems with a new contract for Steven Taylor last summer, as well as the breakdown over Barton. Although Barton and Nolan have repeatedly suggested that they want to sign new deals, both have rejected the offers made to them as the board refuse to be bullied in negotiations. And, while the club’s recruitment drive appears to be going reasonably well, even if none of their targets have actually signed yet, the prospect of losing Barton – and a disgruntled Nolan – will concern many. Fuck me right again Get another notch on that board Mr ChezGiven. Once again, CT discussing the relevant points of the day and setting the media agenda while Team Nasty snipes from the sidelines.

Guest alex Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 It's easy to be 'right' when you cover all your bases though. About a fortnight ago you were saying you were pretty sure Barton would sign a new deal and Nolan would soon follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I wouldnt give either of them long term contracts without significant clauses. Either one could be off to the knackers yard in the next 2 seasons, nevermind 4 or 5. When Ben Arfa signed last year, everyone was wondering if Hughton would have the balls to drop Nolan. That pressurised decision never really became an issue last year but will this year. Gervinho is better than Barton out wide because he has pace, strength and is a good finisher and crosser of the ball, Ben Arfa is a better no.10 than Nolan. Its not that straightforward when you think about it. Re: CT's stance on things, its important to have a bit of a devil's advocate going on, both for the health of the debate and the interest of the forum. Who gives a shit, its just a messageboard. If everyone thought the same, you could just write a piece of software which filled in the thread content. You wouldnt have to type, just press return and an algortithm would put the words up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
