I mentioned yesterday that Arsene was a bit Marmite, so where do we place Joey in the "spreads list"? and does Rooney's Law apply in Football..not this type of Football.
Oliver Brown in the Telegraph pulls no punches and could well have stuck Joey in a jar of piccalli and marmalade, as he writes "Fleetwood are plumbing the depths making Barton Boss". I quote a few lines below.
Joey has reinvented himself as an "homme serieux". He has no coaching experience. Barton has carved a niche as a pre-eminent public intellectual purely from his talents as a walking "Wikiquote"!
His maiden press conference at Marseille was conducted in a French accent, hammier than Gordon Kaye's in "Allo, Allo".
In 2004 he stubbed a cigarette out in a young player's eye. He acquired 6 red cards in the Premier League in 269 games.
He was shown to be a compulsive gambler who had bet on 1260 matches over ten years. His 18 month long suspension has been reduced to 6 on appeal and so he can continue his career,
He spent 74 days in Strangeways in 2008 for punching a man 20 times. As a radio pundit he abused his position and launched a vicious diatribe against David Unsworth.
I am sure there are redeeming features, which Joe has to bring out soon, as he takes on a job that might be like handing over "your prize porcelain collection to a rutting stag".
"By their works shall you know them", AC Grayling from Matthew's Gospel.
The Sun rates him......https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6096732/fleetwood-joey-barton-pep-guardiola-mauricio-pochettino-jurgen-klopp/
