I take great joy in this. He will be raging about having to post that. I doubt he’s ever apologised for a single thing in his life.
It's a shame it wasn't more. Some of the comments are unreal, though. What sort of world are we living in?
I would usually say he won't get another managers job ever again, but a lot of owners don't have morals so don't bet against it.
No, it will have been written by one of Vine's legal team or even Vine himself. It will almost certainly have been a term of settlement that Barton publishes a statement on Twitter, with the wording set out in the agreement. There will have been a point where Barton's lawyer had to explain to him that paying £75k and eating some humble pie would be infinitely preferable to proceeding further with the litigation. Barton will have hated it and signed through gritted teeth. It's delicious.
