It’s such poor leadership to make a negative statement about a footballer in the media. In this age a recorded statement today is a permanent mark that will always be there in time immemorial.
Even if a player has a issue, it’s temporary. A ‘man’ager with skill knows how to handle that situation. Joey bag is just so far from that person.
Here’s how a leader would manage the situation www.norfolklive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/chelsea-terry-smith-aston-villa-6243860
People can make up their own mind.
Not saying its always the thing to do - its obs last resort and has to be judged on the situation.
All I know is that Sir Alex once did it with Ronaldo many years ago. Jose has done it several times (Ricardo Carvalho years ago long before Pogba and Luke Shaw) and Redknapp did it with Darren Bent. There are many others.
With the number of trophies they all won I tend to think they might have known when it may be worth pressing that button dont you think?
I suspect if it was anyone other than Barton people might react slightly differently - but too many people always make it about Barton.
to that extent, I think it is about Joeybag
violence:
On 20 May 2008, he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for common assault and affray during an incident in Liverpool City Centre.[3] Barton served 74 days of this prison term, being released on 28 July 2008.[4] On 1 July 2008, he was also given a four-month suspended sentence after admitting assault occasioning actual bodily harm on former teammate Ousmane Dabo during a training-ground dispute on 1 May 2007
Barton has been charged with violent conduct three times by The Football Association: for the assault on Dabo,[7] for punching Morten Gamst Pedersen in the stomach[8] and for attacking three players on the final day of the 2011–12 season
Barton sparked a ten-man brawl in a friendly match against Doncaster Rovers on 25 July 2004 after "hacking" at an opposition player
the club considered sacking Barton in December 2004 after an incident at their Christmas party. He stubbed out a lit cigar in youth player Jamie Tandy's eye
n May 2005, Barton broke a 35-year-old pedestrian's leg while driving his car through Liverpool city centre at 2 am.[30] In the summer of 2005, Barton was sent home from a pre-season tournament in Thailand after assaulting a 15-year-old Everton supporter[31] who had provoked Barton by verbally abusing him and kicking his shin.[32] Barton had to be restrained from attacking the boy further by teammate Richard Dunne
Barton displayed his outspokenness once again on 22 April 2007 when he publicly criticised City's performances during the 2006–07 season, and described some of the players the club had signed as "substandard".[53] Following his comments, City's manager Stuart Pearce banned him from speaking to the media.[54]
Barton was fined £100,000 and suspended by City until the end of the 2006–07 season on 1 May 2007, following an incident during training when he assaulted his teammate Ousmane Dabo.[55] Dabo said that he had been hit several times, was left unconscious and had to go to hospital after suffering injuries to his head, including a suspected detached retina.[56] Dabo requested that the police press charges against Barton,[57] and as a result, Barton was arrested and questioned by Greater Manchester Police.[58] This altercation effectively ended Barton's time at City. He later cited a "relationship breakdown" with Stuart Pearce as the main reason he left the club.[59] Barton was bailed until August and was later charged with assault,[60][61] to which he initially pleaded not guilty.[62] He later changed this to a guilty plea and on 1 July 2008 was sentenced to a four-month suspended prison sentence plus 200 hours of community service and ordered to pay £3,000 compensation and Dabo's court costs.[5
During his first Tyne–Wear derby for Newcastle against Sunderland, Barton appeared to raise his foot dangerously in a challenge with Sunderland's Dickson Etuhu,[73] leading to the News of the World running with the headline "Ban Him".[7
On 27 December 2007, Barton was arrested on suspicion of assault in the Church Street area of Liverpool city centre following an incident which took place at 5:30 am.[78] He was remanded in custody on 28 December since the offence was committed whilst he was on bail for two prior offences; the presiding magistrate said: "I also have to consider the safety of the public – you lashed out indiscriminately".[79] CCTV showed Barton punching a man twenty times, causing him to lose consciousness, and attacking a teenager, breaking some of his teeth. On 20 May 2008, he was sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty for his part in the December 2007 assault.
On 10 November, in a 2–1 defeat to Blackburn, Barton again acted violently, punching Morten Gamst Pedersen in the chest. He was not punished during the match as the officials did not see the incident, but after reviewing the evidence,[99] the FA again charged Barton with violent conduct
Barton was set to leave Newcastle following his teammate Kevin Nolan, who had earlier joined West Ham United, but Barton insisted on not moving.[106] Joey Barton also criticised the Newcastle board after it was decided he could leave the club on a free transfer
On 2 January 2012, Barton scored the opening goal in QPR's match against Norwich City, his second for the club.[citation needed] He was later given a straight red card after head-butting Norwich midfielder Bradley Johnson
On 13 May, on the final day of the season, with QPR requiring at least a draw in their match away at Manchester City or for Bolton Wanderers to not win in order to guarantee Premier League safety, Barton was sent off in the 55th minute for violent misconduct after elbowing Carlos Tevez in the face. Immediately after being shown a red card, he kicked Sergio Agüero in the back of the knee and attempted to head-butt Vincent Kompany.[124][125] Barton had to be dragged from the pitch by former teammate Micah Richards[126] as he rowed with Manchester City players and staff and attempted to square-off with striker Mario Balotelli.
On 21 February 2015, Barton received the ninth red card of his career in the 32nd minute of a match against Hull City after swinging at Tom Huddlestone's groin following a foul by Darnell Furlong.
In September 2016, Barton was suspended by Rangers for three weeks following a training ground argument with Andy Halliday.[161] On 10 November 2016, Barton had his contract at Rangers terminated with immediate effect.[162]
On 13 April 2019, following a 4–2 away defeat to Barnsley, South Yorkshire Police launched an investigation after Barton allegedly assaulted opposition manager Daniel Stendel in the tunnel.[186] In July 2019, Barton was charged with causing actual bodily harm and bailed until 9 October 2019.[187] He pleaded not guilty.
In July 2021, Barton was charged with the assault by beating of a woman at an address in Kew, London in June 2021
criticising others:
He earned his only cap for the England national team in February 2007, despite his criticism of some of the team's players
An FA Cup match against Tottenham saw Barton receive the first red card of his career in unusual circumstances: at half-time, with his club 3–0 down, he argued with the referee and was sent off although the match was not in progress
Early in December, he called for Newcastle fans to give the team more time after their abuse of manager Sam Allardyce, calling them "vicious".[
The club suspension was widely reportedly to have resulted not directly from the red card, but from a dressing room confrontation with Shearer and assistant manager Iain Dowie following the match. Shearer said he made a mistake putting Barton back into the team, and that his tackle was "a coward's tackle", to which Barton replied that he was "the best player at the club", and Shearer had to play him. Shearer said that Barton was not, and that he was "s**t".[94] Barton replied that Shearer was "a s**t manager with s**t tactics". When Dowie intervened, Barton called him "a fool".[95][96] Barton was reportedly transfer listed
Barton admitted that his performance was "awful" and the "worst I've ever played in my career" but also criticised the QPR fans for not sticking with the team in their battle against relegation
On 13 May, on the final day of the season, with QPR requiring at least a draw in their match away at Manchester City or for Bolton Wanderers to not win in order to guarantee Premier League safety, Barton was sent off in the 55th minute for violent misconduct after elbowing Carlos Tevez in the face. Immediately after being shown a red card, he kicked Sergio Agüero in the back of the knee and attempted to head-butt Vincent Kompany.[124][125] Barton had to be dragged from the pitch by former teammate Micah Richards[126] as he rowed with Manchester City players and staff and attempted to square-off with striker Mario Balotelli.
Relegation had been all but confirmed the previous match, with Barton coming out in the press to again publicly criticise his players, as well as the two managers before him, saying that his team were going down 'with a whimper'On 2 October 2021, Barton's Rovers side suffered a 3–1 home defeat to Ben Garner's managed Swindon Town side.[196] This came after Barton had repeatedly criticised his predecessor, calling him "negligent" before repeating to have a number of digs at his opposing manager in the pre-match press conference, saying that he was willing to "spare 15-20 minutes for him after the game" to discuss the finer points of management
small man syndrome?
He underwent trials at Nottingham Forest, but was rejected when it was decided he was too small to become a footballer
