Hanshithispantz Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 One of those obviously shite appointments that make you question what the fuck the owners of the club are taking. He's a proper egomaniac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yep, but he’s bright. He knows the game and he’s hard/doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Ego or not, he might just make a cracking manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I don't know how much his doesn't suffer fools stuff would work out in reality though. To me he comes across like a Roy Keane type where he'll just rub people up the wrong way, rather than a Simeone type who garners respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 It can work, but I'd bet anything on it not working with him. The moment he has even a slightly talented but flawed player, or a player that needs anything other than someone 'telling it like it is' he's done. I can't imagine anyone less suited to football management than Joey Barton tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Good managers have a range of people skills, and I'm not sure he's got that. In the past, his ego has got in the way so many times. I wouldn't take the risk myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Can see truth in the points made. Can’t help thinking that Alex Ferguson woukdn’t Have appeared the most well-adjusted character, either. Guess we’ll see how it pans out, just have a sense he might actually pull this off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Is he becoming the manager though, or just a head coach? Is his head coach role the type that picks the match day squad and tactics, or just the guy on the training ground? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 As long as he never ends up here then it's fine. Same for Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Funny seeing SSN post a Tweet from a few years ago yesterday, where he has a go at clubs going for big-name players saying just because they were top players won't make them a top manager. I know Barton wasn't a 'top' player but this appointment matches that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Barton wasn't a 'top' player but this appointment matches that. He does have a track record of being a bit of an expert in what other people should be doing, without applying the same standards to himself. Of necessity, he's had to try and re-invent himself, so I hope he succeeds. But he'll now be handling a position of authority and responsibility, and that's a different challenge from criticising from the sidelines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I'm with madras, when has he ever shown himself to be our best player? I've never seen him play better than Smith did today. And Smith was our MOM. Barton can create, something neither Nolan nor Smith can. He's a cunt but we need him. Where did Heneage go to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I hear Sol Campbell is furious. Or at least people are furious on his behalf. The old racism card. So boring. There was a journo on twitter saying he has it on good authority that Barton got the job without interviews taking place. Therefore it's not fair on Sol Campbell as he couldn't apply despite being better qualified. Somebody rightly told him if there was no interviews, nobody could apply, so mentioning Sol was a pointless agenda. Muppets man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It'll be an absolute disaster. This x 100. Could be an interesting watch though Sol Campbell seriously needs help. As does anyone getting 'angry' on his behalf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Sol Campbell has been playing the race card again? He accused the FA of racism a couple of years back, and probably everyone in London for not electing him Mayor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Sol Campbell doesn't get a job because he's a total bellend. Didn't he stop playing for Arsenal because of stress? Hardly the right job for him being a manager or a mayor where you are under intense scrutiny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
