im worried about some tv station giving him a contract..........when people like him retire from the game it has always been a blessing but now we have live matches on ten diff tv stations every week and guys like him get contracts as pundits. PLEASE NO.
wont add any value to any programme he goes on - always spouting b0ll0cks he thinks is philosophical
god help then then -sure way of relegation, they have problems enough let alone taking on him as baggage
Even those two countries have standards - imagine the injustice if this clown was on an inflated pay packet in Chine, the man has no ability
how the heck did he get on newsnight?.........u need at least 2 brain cells to get on there
One question - why didnt they just sack the **** - surely they had the b@st@rd bang to rights, too many of these lightweights are allowed to go by "mutual consent"
He's got a Doctors note ffs...........................................
Might not have been there for very long.....
but he'll always be a Rangers LEDGE.....
but he'll always be a Rangers LEDGE.....
No point in signing him as i am sure a lengthy ban might well be coming his way very shortly for betting on football.
Can't wait to see his twitter comments if no gagging clause in the deal.
At least he can say he played in the biggest derby match in the world albeit the score wasn't ideal..
Has his contract been terminated?
Smart move going on the sick with something like stress. He could be out for months with it and if it is found that his employers contributed to his illness in anyway then he'll be liable for compo.
If you're reading this Joey, as you have a bit of spare time maybe you'd like to start a tipping thread

Joey Barton - Contract Terminated by mutual consent
Just a shame the word "contract" is in the sentance.

I see you're not familiar with contract/employment law. Quite a funny post actually.

Well played by the Gers.
Bartons ego wouldn't let him sit this out.
Left with a coffee machine from the players lounge. Typical scouser.

Never read a contract but I am very familiar with Health and Safety and if his employers' unreasonable behaviour has in any way contributed to his illness then he could have a case for damages.
Employment law is a minefield and unless Rangers have been expertly advised I'd be amazed if they had followed the correct protocols.

You can bet your last dollar Rangers did follow proper protocol.
Barton had a go at MW in front of players.
He admitted this following his first suspension and added he wouldn't be apologising.
It's his behaviour that would be deemed unreasonable.
The fact that the disciplinary procedure and outcome caused him stress wouldn't open the gates to a damages claim.

If Rangers could have sacked Barton they would have.
If Rangers could have kept Barton away from training they would have.
If another club had offered barton a way out he would have taken it.
Both sides will want out of this situation. The sticking point will be money.
By going off sick with stress Barton has done two things. He has positioned himself for the long haul and for a future IT.

3 issues with that.
1 They did keep Barton away from training.
2 Barton has got 2 offers to consider.
3 You've completely misread the last part.
Barton's ego couldn't handle the action Rangers took and he threw his toys out of the pram.
Plus he is now away having come to agreement with Rangers over a pay-off which is reckoned to be about 2 months wages.

That would be good viewing Kincsem.
Can visualise Keane with smoke belching out of his ears.

Rangers had to let Barton back in training last week. That is when he went sick with stress. Anyone who knows about H&S will know that puts him squarely in the driver's seat.
To paraphrase captain fcukwit
Barton +250,000 Rangers -250,000

Who would sign Barton anyway, he has made himself virtually unemployable, his on and off the field shennanigans, the thought he woud take legal action at the slightest provocation, and most importantly he isnt a very good player anyway. For gods sake don't let him become a pundit/

Not sure where you are getting your info from but Barton was given instructions to obey which kept him away from all activities involving the first team squad.
As regards him claiming stress it is a nonsense to say that put him in the driving seat. It had no bearing on the treatment he received and merely highlighted he couldn't handle being disciplined.

BTW him not being able to handle the stress wouldn't give him any redress against Rangers who only needed to comply with basic disciplinary procures.
With both a solicitor and an HR expert directors at Ibrox I doubt Rangers made any mistakes.

Any other club that offers a contract to either Balotelli or Barton must be either deaf or desperate.
Are you saying Barton wasn't back at the training ground?
Are you saying you know for certain that all Rangers employees behaved within employment law at all times when dealing with this incident even before their HR dept and legal people became involved?
Are you saying you know for certain Barton could not possibly had any case against Rangers or any of their employees over this incident and their treatment of him?

I'm going on the facts made known ie Rangers found fault with Barton's conduct and suspended him. Thereafter procedure merely states that Barton is given written notice of any meetings and copies of any notes taken in relation to his suspension.
I'm also going on the info Barton gave in an interview with Talk Radio immediately after his suspension. He confessed then he'd had heated words in the dressing room and added he wouldn't be apologising.
If Rangers hadn't acted properly then I'm sure he wouldn't have come to an agreement. As regards your final point what possible case could he have.
I've been involved in hundreds of disciplinaries over the years and a few where peep have used stress as a reason to delay procedures.
Given that Barton spoke freely at first I think it's safe to assume we'd have known of any other issues.

So you base your opinion entirely on hearsay and you are not at all certain all Rangers employees have acted within employment law at all times with regard to the issue. Neither will the Rangers' HR or legal teams be certain so they would be mad to let anything go to an IT especially as Barton would not be strapped for the price of a very good QC.
Rangers have paid Barton off when it has been pretty clear they did not want to. I'd say that was a result for Barton and he is now free to take up whatever offers come his way.

That's laughable comment. Rangers wanted rid of Barton otherwise they would have lifted his suspension and played him.

Everything I quoted was either in the various Rangers statements or as spoken by Barton on Radio, how is that hearsay?
And to say Rangers wouldn't have known they were working within employment law at all times is a nonsense.
It isn't employment law that would be the focus but the companies disciplinary procedures.
Barton would have received a list of the companies procedures with disciplinary procedures a part of this.
Rangers only need adhere to their own rules to be within the law. Sop not sure where you are coming from on this matter.

Rangers clearly wanted Barton to leave without any payment. They wouldn't have been paying him when he was suspended but they would the moment he returned to training. The going off sick with stress put him in the driver's seat as Rangers were then going to have to pay him to sit at home (probably in England) hence the payoff.
So long joey

All a sick line entitles a person to is Statutory Sick Pay which at about £90 per week wouldn't have been of much good to Joey.
Thereafter Company Sick Pay kicks in but as this a benefit and not a right it can be withheld if the employer feels the need.

Footballers have contract and I imagine in those contracts the sick pay is considerably better than statutory sick pay.
OnePercenter,
You ought to be aware that King akabula,in his official capacity as Dunbeg's village idiot,has been kept fully aware of the circumstances of the Jailbird Joey affair.
King akabula has every faith in the veracity of his sources which emanate from Jabba and the Daily Retard.
Enough said.

Jailbird Joey's contract will be paid in full in three installments the final one being next summer. Due to the fact that his condition was leaked to the press Willie McKay was left with an open goal when it came to negotiations and he didn't miss. Sevco had such a weak hand they couldn't even insist on a non disclosure in the settlement so JB will be free to dish the dirt when he gets paid in full.
Incidentally it was the Sevco doc who signed him off with stress hence the reason they didn't have a leg to stand on when it came to his condition being leaked. It had to have came from within Greyskull.
£1.5M down the gurgler.

Joey received a 1 match ban from the SFA today for placing 44 bets. What will he do with that "paid in full" contract money from Rangers

About as realistic as Res12 being viable. Paid in full.
Don't know about an open goal but a bit of an own goal here as Eddy Jennings represents Barton and accompanied him to all his meetings at Ibrox.
