    With there being a strong anti Barton support amongst those to be considered older Pirates, I wonder if the board is considering the Scottish gent as he is not known and would have more positive reaction from the likes of me. Its an alternative theory used in management

    Having thought long and hard about this, and the jungle drums certainly seem to indicate that Barton will be our next manager, I think my personal approach will have to be to bite the bullet, and judge him purely on our results and his behavior whilst with us. We can object all we like, but as Wael is the one who is pouring shed loads of money into the club, and keeping us in existence in reality, I guess it's only right that the final decision rests with him. Personally I am prepared to wipe the slate clean regarding his past misdemeanors, and give him a chance to prove what he can do. As long as he doesn't do anything to damage the reputation of the club, then I don't see what other option we realistically have - who knows, he might turn out to be another hero and endear himself to the fanbase, although I fear he will have a lot of work to do to succeed with that.

    He's been convicted a couple of times for violent conduct and has a court case pending for some issue with the Barnsley manager, and his brother's doing a long sentence for racially motivated murder. Then there's the gambling.... He's an accident waiting to happen.

    Christ! Didn't realise his rap sheet was that extensive - thought he'd got involved in some high profile and public rows over the years, and was just generally an aggressive and confrontational individual. I get the impression that Tommy W doesn't suffer fools and can be very 'direct' in his dealings with people. Can see some fireworks kicking off good and proper when those two lock horns. (Assuming Barton gets the job.) Hope somebody has spelled out what will be acceptable behavior and what wont, before it ends in tears.

    I have stolen this from elsewhere....

    December 2004
    At a fancy dress Christmas party for Manchester City players, Barton, then 22, stubbed out a lit cigar in the eye of youth team player Jamie Tandy, causing damage to his eyelids. Barton and Tandy then became involved in a brawl that other players had to break up. Barton was fined £60,000 by City but wasn't sacked by the club.

    May 2005
    Barton breaks the leg of a 35-year-old pedestrian while driving his car through Liverpool city centre at 2am.

    June 2005
    Barton was sent home from City's pre-season tour of Thailand after assaulting a 15-year-old Everton supporter who had provoked him by shouting abuse and kicking his shin. Barton had to be restrained from continuing his attack on the boy by team-mate Richard Dunne. He was fined £120,000 and underwent anger management therapy.

    March 2007
    Barton is arrested on suspicion of assault and criminal damage following an alleged argument with a taxi driver in Liverpool. He was alleged to have ripped out the cabbie's radio because he would not wait at a MacDonald's drive-through while Barton got food. He was later found not guilty of vandalising the taxi because his cousin Joshua Wilson, who was in the car with him, admitting causing the damage.

    May 2007
    Barton is involved in a training ground incident with City team-mate Ousmane Dabo. Dabo said he had been hit several times, was left unconscious and required hospital for head injuries, including a suspected detached retina. Barton admitted the assault and in July 2008 was given a four-month suspended jail sentence. After further investigations, in November 2008, he was handed a six-match ban, with a further six suspended, after admitting an FA violent conduct charge relating to this incident with Dabo. He was also fined £25,000.

    December 2007
    Having sat out Newcastle's Boxing Day game through injury, Barton goes drinking in Liverpool city centre afterwards. At 5.30am, he gets into an argument in a McDonald's and CCTV footage shows Barton punching a man 20 times, knocking him out, before attacking a teenager and breaking some of his teeth. Barton spends New Year behind bars.

    May 2008
    Barton is sentenced to six months in jail after admitting assault and affray. He serves 74 days of his prison term at Strangeways in Manchester.

    November 2008
    After serving his jail term and the six-month ban for the Dabo incident, Barton is accused of making a racist remark to Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor. However, this is never proven.

    May 2009
    Barton is sent off in his first game back from a long-term injury for a reckless tackle on Liverpool's Xabi Alonso. Barton receives a three-match ban for the red card but is then suspended indefinitely by Newcastle. That stemmed from a dressing room argument with manager Alan Shearer and his assistant Iain Dowie following the game.

    November 2010
    Barton stayed at Newcastle following the departure if Shearer and in a match against Blackburn Rovers, he punches Morten Gamst Pedersen in the chest. He admits an FA charge of violent conduct and was banned for three games.

    August 2011
    Barton leaves Newcastle and joins Queens Park Rangers. In one of his first games for the club, Barton is involved in a physical confrontation with Wolves player Karl Henry.

    January 2012
    Is sent off for head-butting Norwich midfielder Bradley Johnson.

    March 2012
    Hits out at QPR fans who booed him for a poor performance in a 3-2 win over Liverpool.

    May 2012
    Barton is sent off in QPR's final day match at Manchester City for elbowing Carlos Tevez in the face, kicking Sergio Aguero in the back of the knee and then attempting to head-butt Vincent Kompany. His former team-mate Micah Richards drags him off the field. QPR goes on to lose 3-2 and only avoided relegation thanks to Bolton only drawing. Barton said after the match he was trying to get one of the City players sent off with him. The FA subsequently ban Barton for 12 matches and fine him £75,000. QPR strip Barton of the captaincy and fine him six weeks' wages, around £500,000.

    January 2013
    Gets into a Twitter spat with former Liverpool and Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann, calling him a 'maggot' and a 'dog' after Loic Remy decided to move to QPR and not Newcastle.

    April 2013
    While on loan at Marseille, Barton calls Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva an 'overweight ladyboy' on Twitter. Marseille had to apologise to their rivals PSG and Barton is handed a two-game suspended ban.

    February 2015
    Back at QPR, he is sent off for the ninth time in his career against Hull for taking a swing at Tom Huddlestone's groin following a foul by Darnell Furlong.

    September 2016
    Shortly after joining Rangers, Barton says newly-appointed Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is suffering a 'mid-life crisis' during a radio interview. In the same month, he is sent away from the Rangers training ground following a training ground argument with Andy Halliday. He was subsequently suspended for three weeks and Rangers terminated his contract two months later.

    April 2017
    Barton, then a Burnley player, is banned from football for 18 months after admitting a FA charge in relation to betting. He was also fined £30,000 and warned about his future conduct after placing 1,260 bets on matches over a 10-year period. Barton admitted he was addicted to gambling but contests the punishment was excessive. In July 2017, the ban is reduced by five months on appeal but his playing career is over.

    April 2019
    Police launch an investigation after Barton, who was appointed Fleetwood manager in June 2018, allegedly assaults Barnsley manager Daniel Stendel in the tunnel after a match, leaving him with damaged teeth. In November, Barton pleaded not guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The trial date has been delayed until June 2021 by the Covid pandemic.


    There is probably a lot more than this and don't forget he has been sent off twice as manager against us alone!

    And some fans want this guy to be our manager!! I honestly would rather we get relegated than have him at our club.

    It certainly wouldn’t be dull with Joey in the dugout.

    Yes, but apart from all that, what's he actually done that's so wrong?? ..... <doh>.......CJS, perhaps it might be an idea to forward this list to Wael before it's too late - if it's not already!

    Well if he does get the job I dont think there will be any supporters for him to attack for a while and I probably think there will be less attending matches after we get back. With the number of people he has attacked in the world of EFL I am surprised they haven't given him a life ban
    5 attacks on people in football plus 1 not yet proven / unproven
    2 attacks on non football related
    1 Jail term served and 1 suspended

    Please Wael Al-Qadi do not employ this manager

    Less than 12 months ago, so while still manager for Fleetwood and just a month after his assault on the Barnsley manager, Barton was on a beach with some mates and decided to punch a few others on the beach. Clearly visible knocking 2 people down with punches... and some want this to be our manager!

    To be fair to them Ipswich is/was a big club and Lambert appears to be taking them backwards not forwards.

    Apparently Rovers are interested in the Cheltenham manager Michael Duff to take over from Paul Tisdale, would be a good signing I think
