Guest Heneage Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Can say what he likes as far as I'm concerned. High time somebody within the club called these charlatans out. Just like KK, he'll be called worse than s*** for trying to get people to cotton on to the disgusting way our club is being run. He's a goner anyway and Enrique, Tiote, Colo and Jonas won't be long after him. They aren't doing anything illegal. Those charlatans pay his wages he should act in a professional manner.

As far as the national press, etc. were concerned, upto now this was simply "Nolan having medical with West Ham". Now all of a sudden, Sky Sports News are reporting "Barton, Jose Enrique & Jonas next" on the back of one sentence. The man is thick as mince. Who gives a fuck what Sky Sports are reporting? You know what it's based on, ergo you know it's meaningless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Not exactly going to inspire others to join either, is it? I bet players who were considering us weren't thinking, "Oh shit, Nolan's leaving. Won't bother going there". Now all of a sudden, there's going to be speculation about Barton and two key first-team players leaving on the back of one moment of idiocy. That's going to really entice targets now. The blokes a prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Deserves at least a significant fine for that TBH, he's entitled to his opinion but when he's broadcasting it to the world it's a different matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I like Barton as much as the next fan- he's good player who wears his heart on his sleeve- but that's a silly comment to make. Yes, his "I tell it like it is" attitude makes for good reading, but his recent 'tweet' will do nothing but create more problems and can only be detrimental to the club's progress.

No-one's saying anything like that (apart from the Barton prick thing). The whole Twitter comment was just unneccessary, that's all, and is going to bring more bad press. This and this.

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 He can say what he likes and always does. I'm pleased there's someone in the team that cuts the smoke and mirrors bullshit and calls a spade a spade. If we're so clearly being ran this badly, there needs to be a certain level of transparency to the people who keep every single one of them in their job.

TêteDeMaure Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 He needs to shut the f*** up to be honest. There was nothing wrong with the tweet until the hashtag... there's just no need. Why should he shut up? He's being jerked around as much as anyone! Perhaps because he's on an extortionate amount of money to behave professionally? Don't waste your time. She's in Joey the reformed church. Unprofessional in the extreme. He's a prat. Always was, always will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 How anyone can defend Barton here is beyond me like, I'm all for free speech but there is a line "He's just a cheeky chappy" is about the only thing I could use to marginaly defend his comments. No matter how much of a clear bunch of bellends our owners are, they are his bosses. Mike would be well within his rights to fine Joey I would have thought like, and if anything he's just making it easier for them to get rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most companies (particularly football clubs) would seem totally chaotic if every discussion and possible future plan was broadcast to the world by disgruntled employees. Barton isn't calling a spade a spade, he's assuming the worst based on his emotional attachment to Nolan and because he's pissed off at them both not being offered new deals.
