Barton's agent takes the blame

[Stanley]

Didn't he also tweet something about being able to do preseason anywhere, which indicated he knew he was supposed to back

Exactly. He knew full well it was Monday, no doubt about it.

[West Acton]

Plus he tweeted on Sunday 'see you Friday Harry' which is another suggestion he knew when he was due back but instead of preparing like a professional he chose to live it up at Glasto instead. Don't matter how he wants to explain it away he was two days late for work and therefore fine him.

Everyone else expected back managed to make it other then him hes a game player and a t osser of the highest order

I think he's referring to his lack of communication from his agent over it, hence why McKay is now taking the blame for it.

It's all lies though IMHO.

we can hardly fine the agent, I'd personally negotiate his release, if it cost a million so be it, nasty piece of work that is leaving a stench around Loftus Road

reading this artical, it is not that clear cut that om want him back.

even a straw poll at the bottom of the page only has barton 34% as a substitue at best.

41% dont want him back at all.

If Marseille wanted him that badly, they would have done something about it by now. Clearly, they are not as desperate for the move as he is.

Hughes and the board treated Barton shamefully in my opinion. Should have backed him to the hilt and let his footballing do the talking. Equally as shamefully, is the way Barton has gone about things since then. I can fully understand how peeved he must have been, being shifted over to France like he was and basically not wanted. But there are ways to handle certain situations and it seems that as usual, Barton has chosen the wrong one.

Time for all to start doing things properly. And in his case, it is simply a matter of coming down hard on every little thing until he is forced to take up the first offer that comes his way. Unless of course he behaves like the model professional that until now, he has shown no sign of doing.
