Joey Barton - role model

If I punched a colleague to the ground at my place of work, I have no doubt that I would be instantly sacked. Do you think that Barton should receive the same treatment ?

Re: Joey Barton - role model

its disgusting!

How many children look up to these idiots? they will follow their example and thats not what we need atm, our children need good role models..

I did a survey on children in one of the classes i worked in and asked them what they wanted to be when they grow up (it was meant to show influences in childrens lives) and most of them said footballer, singer, on telly....what happened to wanting to be police officers, fire fighters, teachers,doctors and nurses THESE are the kind of people that children should be looking up to and wanting to be like... the real heroes!!!!

wasnt there a footballer not long back that admitted that he didnt do his GCSE'S and hardly ever went to school (i dont know the names of most footballers) yeah!! thats a great thing to be telling kids!

Exactly dave, but doesn't that apply not only to fooballers but so call "Stars" in general, they all get away with murder, if you or me did have what these lot do we'd be watching telly, playing video games, snooker and pool behind bars for three times as long

Newcastle can't sack him on those grounds. Barton assaulted a colleague while under contract with Manchester City, not Newcastle.

To be fair that situation will become less and less as the years go on. Most football clubs nowadays make sure the kids the apprentices they have do some studying at college as well as training. Too many of them don't make the grade and they have to make sure they have something else to pick up on.

Man City should have sacked him bu then he would have been a free agent and they wouldn't have got a few million for him. It may be cynical but football is no ordinary business as we all know.

Nah it's not cynical it's correct. City knew he'd be leaving after the incident so held out until he was sold rather than sacking him & paying out his contract.

So in the cynical world of football, just as Man City wanted to cash in on their 'asset', Newcastle will, no doubt, have wanted to protect their investment. If Barton has given them his guarantee that it was self defence and now has changed his toon (sorry!) and admitted his guilt then they have grounds for sacking him.
