Conversation between Joey Barton and Newcastle Chairman - Mike Ashley
Joey Barton: Are you having a laugh, Mike? £3m transfer budget??!?!
Mike Ashley: Joey, I believe the current squad of the club is decent enough to achieve a top-half finish, I do agree that it might seem that 3m isn't enough, but we still have a decent sq-
JB: HOW THE FUCK IS THIS A DECENT SQUAD?!?! I'm going to sell Cabaye probably, he's French, and that fat cunt Tiote also can fuck off
MA: Joey, please go easy on the words, you can sell Cabaye and Tiote if you think that is the right decision, and sign replacements for them if you wish. But please, we trust in you to lead this club up. We think you have the potential to become one of the greatest managers this world has seen.
JB: I do have some targets in mind, but we are playing in the Europa League Mike, we need a better squad, we only have 1 decent striker in Cisse, Gouffran is also French, what can you expect from him.
MA: Joey, are you racist?
JB: No, I just hate France.
MA: Well, that worries me Joey.
