Barton in new Twitter attack on Newcastle over Enrique treatment

Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton has hinted at unrest inside St James' Park after their friendly defeat to Leeds United.

The Daily Mail says Barton effectively came out in support of left back Jose Enrique, who was fined by Newcastle last week after using his Twitter pages to accuse the club of lacking ambition and failing to spend money.

Barton said: "If only we as players could tell the fans exactly how it is, without them above fining us lots of money. There will be a time and a place.

"If it wouldn't effect team morale and cause unrest within the dressing room, am certain Jose's comments would be the tip of the iceberg..."

He added: "Things need addressing as am not prepared to go through a relegation again."
