AlgarveJag Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Looks like Castle Grey Skull will be missing the budgie Joey when we visit, as his mouth gets him into bother again...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Not our problem of course but what a weird decision. Surely if a player is out of order you fine him. The more out of order the heavier the fine or you sack the guy for breach of contract. You don't deprive yourself of his services. That's like fining yourself. OK, Barton's not being doing much more than picking up his wage packet but it still appears from outside to be plain daft suspending him. He'll no doubt in time be picking up a suspension or two from the normal sources anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I would hazard a guess at the suspension being part of following the correct HR process before a termination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgarveJag Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 if not a termination then I agree with LIB that it is very strange to in effect fine yourself. Â Maybe it came as a surprise to Warburton that Joey can, on occasion, be a tad outspoken and opinionated not to say arrogant and obnoxious. Â Has he been contributing to Rangers mediocrity?

clarencegarter Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I would think it gives rangers 3 weeks to get legal advice and sack him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G13 jag Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 If Aberdeen beat them this weekend, followed by an away win for us the following week, Barton could be looking at a player manager role once his suspension ends.

Weebaw1 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I hope Barton sues for wrongful dismissal and extracts £2m from Sevco.  There was always a stench from the Oldco that has been recycled through sewers and is seeping out again through every pore at Murray Park. There is no light pouring out and Barton has now discovered this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like SFA and Rangers are colluding for financial gain (not for the first time) with Barton being investigated for betting on a match which took place less than a week ago.

Jaggernaut Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Between his suspension by sevco, newspaper reports of betting, and now the "exclusive" that he really wanted to sign for Celtic, it looks like a concerted effort to get him ditched. Now, might that horrible club and their cronies in the press be colluding in some way....? Let's just say that stranger things might have happened on this wee planet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
