    Named the new Fleetwood Town manager.

    I bet he's not there come August.

    That's a ******* crazy appointment.

    If he were to do a full season, they'd be nailed-on for relegation. The Scouse Nietzsche with a lit cigar.

    If he were even a tenth as clever as he thinks he is he'd be a great manager. But he's not, so he probably won't be.

    I'm halfway through reading his book , which is pretty good but he reminds the reader how hard he is/was in every chapter .He's had to change his lifestle over the last few years or he'd have been doing a long stretch . Good luck to him .

    The guy's been an absolute joke his entire career. Multiple chances offered and he's screwed it up each time. Im all for giving second chances but how many does he need? The chairman must be nuts as I'd have thought more people hate him than like him.

    There's plenty of decent, knowledgeable and experienced ex-players out there that have done their badges who don't get a look in. I wonder what they think of the likes of this complete knob when he walks straight into a managerial post. Must be difficult to stomach?!

    He’s under rated as a footballer. Nearly always been one of the best players at whichever club he’s been at.

    Having said that I’m not sure he’s someone it’d be easy to respect or have much time for given his past.

    Good luck to him hope he does well, he seems decent enough on the radio and football needs personalities he may actually say something in interviews not like the repetitive predictable answers most managers give.

    Given that he has been a complete knob most of his career, I don’t know why but I think he will turn out to be a decent manager

    Baffling decision really. John Sheridan has done a sterling job in turning them around and staving them off a relegation battle, surely he was worth keeping on? Safer bet than Barton who has no experience in management at all, but fair play to him.

    I actually think he might make a fist of it , he has played football at a high level & like him or loathe him , he is a competitor . Good luck to the lad , hope he proves the doubters wrong

    He’s a fooking thug and an odious individual . Hope he falls flat on his arse . Too many folk willing to give not only 2nd chances but third , fourth , fifth ? He is what he is and if he wasn’t in football he’d be in jail and rightly so !

    My guess is he'll be w&nk, then write a book about it. He'll probably quote Sophocles and Morrissey at some point.
