The Professional Footballers' Association are desperately trying to mediate in the increasingly difficult transfer of Joey Barton to Newcastle.
And the fear is that the deal could turn out to be the most difficult of the summer so far as Manchester City dig their heels in and refuse to pay the midfielder £300,000 he believes he should get from a 'signing-on fee' clause in his contract at Eastlands.
PFA official Mick McGuire is handling the mediation after Barton and his agent Willie McKay asked for the assistance of the players' union.
McGuire said: "We are looking for an amicable conclusion to this.
"I have spoken to Joey, his agent and Alistair Mackintosh (City's chief executive) and I also intend talking to Sam Allardyce at Newcastle.
"But this is not an easy situation because City believe Joey is not entitled to the money, because it was the player who triggered to move by activating the part of his contract that says he can talk to other clubs who bid £5.5million.
"City believe that by doing that, he effectively asked for a transfer."
And there is also a belief that City do not really want to sell the player, certainly for such a relatively low fee and would prefer for everything to be delayed until new owners and - more importantly - a new manager is appointed at Eastlands.
Barton agreed to the move to St James' Park last week, but so far the deal has not been concluded because City are refusing to budge on the £300,000 Barton believes he is entitled to.
McGuire said: "This is a signing-on fee, not a loyalty bonus. This does not seem to be black and white, certainly as far as City are concerned.
"At the moment we (PFA) are looking for a way forward that will be acceptable to everyone."
However, City do not seem to be in any hurry to sanction the deal - with Barton now on holiday in Dubai - and could hold out until the player gives up his claim on the cash.
And they are particularly annoyed with the player taking this stance having stood by him on several occasions in recent years after off-field problems.
And there is also 'previous' between City and McKay, when the club refused to pay the agent £100,000 last year for renegotiating a new contract for the Liverpool-born player.
Allardyce is clearly upset by the delay, and he told MEN Sport: "They (City) are out of order.
"This is a private matter, a confidential issue that should not have been made public.
"I'm flabbergasted and want the situation resolved.
"I'm just trying, as Newcastle manager, to secure a player of this kind and quality and the deal has been held up.
"I can't understand it because City didn't pay anything for this player as he came through the youth system, and they are selling him for over £5million.
"But it is not really for me to comment. All I know is that this is a matter for Joey to sort out and I hope it is resolved as it has stopped him putting pen to paper.
"I found Joey a very bright person who wants to develop his game.
"He's very positive, well-spoken and focused and wants to win silverware with Newcastle and develop his international career."
