The Dude

TV3 in Catalonia too. It's come from their documentary on Tamudo. I seen the story yesterday and immediately laughed. A few guys I used to wokr with are Espanyol fans and took the piss when I said I was a Rangers fan saying we'd fucked up big time.

It was reported somewhere else and the Record have just copied it. http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/espanyol/tamudo-desvela-verdadera-satisfaccion-dia-tamudazo-5476899 http://sportwitness.co.uk/rangers-doctor-celebrated-spain-cancelling-club-transfer-explains-raul-tamudo/

Again, that's a misrepresentation of what happened. Warburton activel pursued Barton and the only reason he wasn't there when JB came up here was he was in the US meeting Kranjcar

You literally said 'Hell mend the board for signing him behind the managers back"

I ghost write Smith's WATP magazine column. I spoke to him on Friday for the next issue and Barton features heavily in his piece.

Yet we're to believe, on the strength of someone within football telling you, that JB was signed behind the Manager's back. You never thought that one through did you?

People within the club.

Warburton held talks with him prior to signing after hearing good things about how he's turned a corner from McParland and Dyche.

What makes you think he was signed behind the managers back?

Cheers. I'd expect both sides want this over with. Another way around it could be simply freezing him out the first team. As an established professional if he doesn't play on a certain % of first team games he can simply rip his deal up and walk away.

Yeah, tbh that would fit him being bought out his deal. It's much the same path I'm going down and mines has been dragging on over a year now.

Been saying it for months. Ever since she repeatedly referred to me as Mr. King.

Without going into much detail, I'm currently going through something similar with my old employer. If be stunned if we had grounds to sack Barton and can only see him leaving soon if he's bought out of his deal.

Yet here's the manager doing exactly that with Barton.
