Angus_Young Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Was just reading a Gers forum there. One of the lads that broke the news of him signing for us, reckons he has played his last game. To PoolQ - I'm quite surprised to hear that, as Bartons' performances have been under scrutiny for a couple of weeks now. I don't know of any Gers fans that defended his display against Celtic. I must admit, I was happy with that particular signing when it happened, but I'm also big enough to admit it's been a complete disaster. Had a wee chuckle there. Scottish news had Barry Ferguson on commenting on his behaviour. Short memory that yin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Ok, bear with me here but.....my old man who has a friend of a friend who is Chicko's relation says Chicko says Barton is on £20k a week. Surely bullsh1t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said a lot re Barton honestly not sure what specifically you're referring to there. Doesn't really matter. There were some here, and elsewhere, that defended him immediately after the OF game, less do now I'm sure. I'm surprised so many thought it was a good idea in the first place (Warburton more than anyone, he really should have know better), but I can understand supporters getting behind him once he signed. Now though I'd assume pretty much everyone has seen through him now. Edited September 19, 2016 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he offered a deal at Burnley? If so you'd think it could be as high as £8/9k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you'd think it could be as high as £8/9k. What i heard was £4.5k basic, but thats without add-ons, etc. Must admit i though this was pretty low at the time, but seemingly Burnley offered more, and he wasn't motivated by money after QPR. The guy who told me works in football (but not the media) and it would probably be in his interest to inflate, if you know what I mean. Anyway, maybe Barton just wanted the drama of it all for his book?!! Wonder if he gets paid if he is suspended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Managers currently under pressure at clubs such as Stoke, Sunderland, Cardiff, Leeds, Blackburn, Derby and QPR. Any one of them could be looking for a new manager shortly. Convenient way out for Warburton ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that, Warburton has been on record as saying the squad needed more depth and experience and with Hill, Krancjar, Barton that's what he got.

He apparently placed a bet on the Barca v Celtic game last week. The alleged bet was for Celtic to lose by more than 3 goals so that might go some way to endear him to the Rangers support! I know rules are rules but I really don't see the issue on players having a flutter in a competition that they are not involved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was placed on his personal Betfair account and flagged up to the SFA, I assume the bookies have an agreement with the authorities that they will advise them as I'm sure that's how Ian Black got caught out.
