Is it because she’s a woman? 

To some extent maybe. Nothing wrong with that though. His actions are vile, they go way beyond ‘free speech’ and harmless banter. Making up pure nonsense about her dead father being a corrupt Nigerian. All because he thinks she’s not any good as pundit. Bit far no?

She received threats. As did her advisors & family. 
 

Today the police said we are in a crisis of violence against women… 1 in 12 women will be a victim of violence. It’s probably hard for most blokes to understand why she feels scared, but these threats came directly from folk who referenced Barton’s lies. So he’s responsible for something. 
 

Criticise her punditry all you want. But Barton clearly took it too far. 
 

And yes, any pundit on the receiving end of threats should be supported.

As I mentioned before maybe that’s why he deleted it as he realised his sources were wrong (I wouldn’t be surprised if her dad was bent though 😉)

Bit late really. Damage was done & he had time to check his sources. Instead of apologising he then called her a smelly bastard. He’s a bit odd isn’t he?

Don’t think that argument will wash in court that he deleted it. He’ll end up paying damages.

Oh he’s a bit odd alright. 😂

I highly doubt he deleted it because he somehow found out his "sources" had misinformed him and he felt it was the right thing to do

You give him way too much credit, if that's even possible, if you think that

He tweeted it, received a "legal warning", then took the piss out of that which then saw her legal team on the end of summer abuse

I think it's far more likely someone  like his lawyer told him to delete it because he was getting himself in to an expensive legal mess

There's no way he would delete it because it wasn't true

He must have a big pile of money or some very solid investments, because there’s no way he’s earning anything for the next few years.

Hes totally unemployable.

CBD aside.

If the likes of Greenwood can continually find jobs in Europe’s top leagues after twatting his missus then I’m sure JB can find some form of work after calling someone on social media

Not as a manager. As well as being a massive arsehole, let’s not forget he’s fucking shit.

I know, as a multi million pound forward. We had a forward by the name of Gary Madine who played for us after he had been jailed for twatting 2 fans. Granted JB may not get a job over here as we as a country seem to get a little more hurt over social media spats compared to physical violence but if he wanted work abroad I’d pretty much guarantee he would get it.

For all his faults, Greenwood is a very good player. 
 

For all his faults, Barton is a shit manager. Chuck in being an arsehole and language barriers, no way is he getting a decent job abroad.

Well he he also fucks off to the Middle East and we never hear from him again, then fair enough.

I seem to recall Barton ripping Gary Neville (or may have been Lineker) a new arse for taking money from stone age cultures.

So he's not likely to be a hypocrite and do the same.

He's scouse. He has high moral standards.

The difference here being GL  and GN regularly speak in support of LGBTQ community, I doubt JB does the same

He used to, before he realised being an "anti-woke" commentator on social media is a better grift.

It’s ok to change your mind.

How/why would Barton get any work abroad? Doing what?

how? I’d guess through a job application 

Why? Over a decade playing at the highest leve

What? Commentary, Coaching, Management?

He's not got a track record of being any good at any of the above. 

There are far better out there who also come with no baggage.

He's fucked himself. What a shame.

Fortunately for him he doesn’t need a good track record. 
 

Do you honestly think that someone who continuously received multi million pound contracts to play in the best league in the world whilst carrying more baggage than any other player, will all of a sudden struggle to get a job because he called someone on twitter?

There’s hundreds like him.

I get the feeling he’s been losing the battle for media jobs for a good few years now and it’s making him very cross.
