Think it's true, although the hasn't said it like that.. Only stating the truth I suppose.

He won't need to be paid whilst on his ban then. That will save us some money, could buy another player on the wages we pay him x a 10 game ban.

How about bringing Barry Ferguson?

The sooner this cretin leaves the club the better. He couldn't give a toss. Hopefully we've got grounds to end his contract.

I have a feeling that these comments notwithstanding, if he is either sacked or suspended without pay, he will go legal and fight for every penny.

Thread title & first paragraph on the piece are both misleading.

He clearly says he has 'enough money to not have to care about anyone's opinion' which is a fair point not that he 'doesn't care if he's sacked'

Big difference.

don't let that get in the way of a good rant ,

In fairness its pretty criminal the way the Express manufacture news to play up on readers' prejudices, obsessions and fears. Worst of the worst. Next week they'll reveal Joey is a gypsy immingrant benefits cheat responsible for the death of Diana and keeps Madeline McCann locked away in his cellar.

I fear this is the kind of journalism that you mention.

Have to say, I´m in two minds about Joey Barton. Anyway, I dont think Mark Hughes feels the same .
But that´s another story

I wouldn't give a stuff about anyone's opinion either if I was in his position to be fair.
