Frankie 8,562 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I think this move had good intentions for all but it's not worked out. He can move on in January (perhaps even with a small fee) and we live and learn. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club will live and learn; somehow I doubt that Joey Barton will. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably need to pay him off 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 We won't get a fee. We'll probably need to pay him off ... unless someone takes him on straight away.Still don't get why we paid Goian (and Bocanegra) off when they got a club at the ready straight away? You would hope we are smarter than that now, despite paying Bell off (who was picked up somewhat later by ... a club which name deceives me just now). Likewise, you do wonder how much we actually pay him per week ... i.e. in reality. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think any player leaving to earn less money elsewhere would be looking for a pay off to go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Quote from a BBC article talking to an ex team mate of Barton at Man City Danny mills. "Complex to the nth degree," said Mills when asked to describe Barton. "Joey's very, very difficult to understand at times. I got changed next to him every day for four, four-and-a-half years, whatever it was at Manchester City; was there every time things went wrong. "He's a very, very good footballer. I've said before I don't think he's as good as he thinks he is and he expects everybody else to be as good as he thinks he is. That's one of his problems. "Occasionally, a switch goes and he just goes off track and he has no empathy, no remorse for his actions. "From being on the outside, it seems quite clear that Rangers are trying to freeze him out, trying to upset him. I've been in a similar situation before, I've seen it happen. I think it's going to be very, very difficult for him." http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37855550 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
les186 271 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 We won't get a fee. We'll probably need to pay him off I would think the English Championship could match or better what we pay. Perhaps Derby will pay £10 million for him:D 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Without doubt it will cost us, monetary and PR. Terrible decision to sign him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
