He'll be out by Xmas if not before.

What an example to follow

A c unt of the highest order who thinks that by having a trendy haircut and quoting Smiths lyrics gives him the right to look down on people and that he is misunderstood

He's not misunderstood - he's a complete arsehole and will be totally unapproachable, confrontational, will seek to isolate players and prove he's a better 'man' - he was a c ock as player, a c ock as a media pundit and will be a c ock as a manager because that is what he is - if he couldn't kick a football he'd be burgling your house and telling you in court that you deserved it.

The only place I could abide this arse as a manager is at Swansea or Bristol City as he would set them back years - pity Fleetwood

I'm guessing that he will prove to be an excellent manager.
He is actually very intelligent and Knowledgeable. If he can reign things back with maturity I think he will be excellent.

What’s he ever said that’s made you think he’s intelligent? Quoted smiths lyrics and Neitzsche?

Time will tell, boy.

Yes but why have you got that opinion?

Im not sure he’ll be a success or a failure but I think it’s weird to call him intelligent without having a reason.

I've never heard him say anything insightful.

I hope they lose every game.

Think Barton and Bellamy are similar characters in many respects.

I don't think Bellamy will be a good manager personally.

Don't agree with that. Bellamy has some history with certain clubs but is no Joey Barton.

Couple of comments in here about Barton. Boy on the Shed is a great book that I continue to recommend

Couple of comments about Joey Barton in a Joey Barton thread, whatever next?!
