Chris Long was told by Barton at Fleetwood to get a new club a couple of weeks ago. They are paying up his contract in full despite only signing for them in the summer. Speaking to his cousin today (colleague) and he tells me a deal has been agreed over the weekend for him to sign for Dale in Jan. Blackpool were the other club in for him. £3k a week apparently.
Decent sriker and did well in a struggling Northampton side when on loan from Burnley last year. |  | | |  |

Surprised one of the League 2 promotion-chasers isn't in for him as well. |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

Wages too low for said club. Apparently Barton has been challenging his players to square up to him and having a pop at those who wouldn't do it. After Bury beat them in the nonsense cup, he told all the fringe players involved to find a new club.
I knew he was on his way out for a couple of weeks but only got told today that it is to your lot. Like I said, decent striker. Blackpool tried to sign him in the summer and were back in for him but he is going to Dale. I suppose getting 18 months salary paid up no quibble means he can take a hit on the salary to play elsewhere. [Post edited 26 Nov 2018 19:30]

Right. Sounds like good inside info. Maybe someone from Fleetwood might know more about it? [Post edited 26 Nov 2018 19:46]

Cheers. At least if anything happens to Barton there is a more than capable deputy waiting to step into his shoes. | |

It sounds like Barton has the camp bouncing in there, he was a bell end as a player and he seems to somehow trump that now as a manager.
Surprised Bobby Grant has gone to Wrexham,he's far too good for that | | | |

That is truly the biggest load of modern-day manager drivel I have read in a long time. Just bogwash him, set fire to his suit and tell him to apologise to his colleagues.
Furthermore, are we just going to allow comma splices to run riot in the printed media or is someone going to teach these journos about semi-colons? |  |

Wouldn't it be difficult to bogwash a semi-colon? |  |

Amazing stuff from Barton - in comparison, Hilly's remarks are a model of diplomacy. To comment on a couple of sentences:
“I know Chris [Long], he is a good lad; I’m not knocking him away from the game but his conduct, for me, is not befitting of a player that wants to be in our squad."
“Bobby’s attitude, Bobby’s conduct, his communications,are poor [maybe a reference to that time Grant found himself in court, having, allegedly, mixed up a couple of c-words]; that is why he is not in the group. Do I envisage a period where he will come back into the group? No, because the group do not want him in the group. I know Bob won’t like that. He will probably have something to say about it but you have got to be a good team-mate."
“The premise of being at any club, you have got to be a good person." [Like no illegal betting, jail time, misuse of a cigar ...]
But there could be a 'broken-toy' aspect to Long - only 23, but spells with several clubs, just under 100 league appearances, about a half as a sub or subbed off. [Post edited 26 Nov 2018 22:57]

I have to hold my hand up and admit that I was one of the people who said that Barton couldn't possibly become a bigger tit once he took the managerial reigns. I was sorely, sorely mistaken. What an absolute bellwhop that lad is |  | | |

One Scouser telling another Scouser that "his conduct and communications are poor", is a good one,especially one with the track record of Joey Barton. You couldn`t make it up,no wonder Scousers have a good sense of humour. | | | |

It would be interesting to know who the senior players at Fleetwood are who are "in the group" and deciding who can and can't be part of their gang and telling the manager accordingly.
Sounds very much like a clique to me. | | | |

Being a Scouser I wonder how many mates he had to back him up because we all know they are soft as the proverbial and only attack in numbers. Barton is a full on nonce who needs a good slap. Shame Billy Whitehurst type not at Fleetwood at moment LOL | | | |

Barton after a complete character assassination of club employees goes on to say
“If you are not in the team I don’t expect you to be speaking negatively of fellow people"
How would you react if your boss said what Barton said about you?
How about this coming from Barton, he expects
"“Hard work, honesty, humility and respect;" | |

Chris Long to be the missing piece of Keith's jigsaw!!
Some fresh blood and an exciting brand of football in January will see us climb the table I am sure.
Sunday could also light the touchpaper just as the FA cup did for us last season.
Up the Dale!!! | | | |
