What the Hell is Going on with Barton?
Is 3 weeks not enough time to make a decision one way or another. We are looking like a amateur outfit, probably disrespectful to Amateurs.

At least you have all the information on the situation to tell if we are handling it correctly or not.

Regardless of what allegedly happen this has not been handled well by club, his outspoken past was not hidden from view before he was signed, my opinion is that our manager has not had the experience of dealing with a high profile footballer like Barton and obviously joey has undermined him verbally, not sure this will be the first time in football this has happened (arguments happen everyday st clubs), rangers must eventually spill what has gone on but can't help feeling he's been made a scapegoat for a poor start of season and gaffer didn't have balls to drop him when obviously he wasn't fully fit or performing.

He was suspended for 3 weeks then the gambling stuff came to light. Gives the club another week to find the necessary loopholes to get rid of him because after missing pre season he has been nothing short of crap. I was excited when he signed but he does nothing but slow our play down and other teams players walk by him for fun. Nothing to do with scapegoats or anything like that. Same folk on here last season giving Danny Wilson pelters and I said he was a scapegoat. He will end up a top class defender and still only 25.

Mjp1067 , i don't look at them being at fault, they are obviously looking at very closely, to see where they stand if they get rid of barton. imho, shadow bear, once the barton saga has finished, we might not get the real story for years. even if it ends by a pay off agreement, cause that is what happens these days. there probably be a clause in place to prevent either party from talking about it.

I wouldn't be putting the blame for this fiasco at the clubs door. It's Barton's fault. If he just kept his trap shut then there wouldn't be a problem. All the talk of poor results and performances this season can be put at his door. He has effected the squad dynamic and caused us to under perform. I'd have him suspended for the full season if we can't get shot of him.
