    Or, perhaps he might meet a better class of 'friend', if he can convince them he's French!

    They probably got sick of him walking around doing impressions of Bomber from Auf Pet.

    I'm glad his career is now reflecting the quality of person that he is. Would have been tough to see a prick like him rising up the ranks.

    he could wind up like Ronnie barker in the porridge film, the prison teams manager ! although he would not 5 minutes in jail the real hard cases would sort him out.

    Am I allowed to sum up Barton's managerial career to date using an old quote...

    "Close but no cigar"

    Or should I paraphrase it to not even close and not even a rolly.

    Considering the fact that he stubbed a cigar out in the eye of a Man. City apprentice that is very apt.

    Yes, yes he did. Nice chap.
    If I was mean I could have said something along the line of...
    ...He's now in the land of far, far, away which has just been declared a smoke free zone. But
    I'm not that mean :emoticon-0127-lipss

    Or . . .

    I wouldnt say he is (was) the most despicable manager around, but he is in the top one.

    Timing is on this. With 2 decent at that level managers sacked recently, I can see Ainsworth going there
