Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

I wouldn’t even joke about it myself.  Barton fits the usual Mike Ashley criteria of being cheap, under qualified, and likely to cause the club embarrassment.

Other than him hating Ashley that is. To be fair it wouldnt be the worst he might take himself and Ashley out of the equation in one fall blow.

Nah Barton speaks out a bit much for Ashley and would give him problems. Ashley likes a gimp who says nothing and requests nothing for the team and the club.

Howay, bump..

 

Stumbled on a video of Joey talking about Newcastle from years back...

 

It's probably been posted in pages past, but the words he says about the club 10 years ago, are still the inner-workings of the club now...

 

 

"Mike Ashley is the Ayatollah, nothing happens without his say so..."

 

"every Premier League club since 1992, had these arrangements in place (player performance bonus contracts), they decided that we we're paid workforce, which they probably have an argument; and for Sports Direct, we should do what the subordinates do at Sports Direct do...."

 

(2020 example: Furloughing, despite being a Premier League club)

This might be the thing that stops his weird hero status here. He’s a horrible man. 

And a horrible footballer too.

He's done a very good job of reinventing his time here, where he was mostly unavailable. Loves taking credit for us getting promoted.

I think there's a fairly intelligent and decent bloke in there somewhere but he's never been in control of his demons, that's not me making excuses for him as we all have a choice. Blokes had more chances than most get with his track record.
