Barton v Hughes.

For those who listen to Joey on TalkSport, how long will it be before we hear that Hughes has taken out legal action for slander?!

Joey really, really, really hates Hughes!!

 

What did he say that was bad enough for legal action?

 

Maybe a techie can post a link from this morning?

Can't understand why he was appointed for Saints
useless at QPR.
left Stoke in relegation trouble.
JB said that Alan Brazil had said that Hughes is an oddball (or something like that) which caused Brazil to choke in his coffee as he thought about the implications!
Useless man manager
Can't understand why poor managers keep getting appointed.

And on and on.

If it is not slander, it must be very close to the mark (intentional pun!).

 

He's been having a dig at him every Monday particularly since he was sacked by Stoke. I suppose having spent five months under his management at Loftus Road he saw close-up what makes him tick (or not). I doubt any R's fan would disagree with him...

 

I certainly do not disagree with him.
It's like watching dysfunctional relies having an awkward bust up at Christmas though, to be fair to Hughes, he has kept dignified silence so far. I'm guessing he will see success somewhere eventually (by the law of averages!) and then have a poke back from that position.

 

Tx Sooperhoop.
Not happy listening for Soton fans at all.
Agree with JB about the poor pool of managers generally.

 

Can't see where Joey is out of line, all he is doing is listing up facts! Hughes is the lowest of the low, a liar and twister of truth. Not one word that comes out of that mans mouth can be believed.

A self delusional prick. Highlighted by his words after knocking league one Wigan out of the FA cup yesterday. Where he says that beating Wigan was a "Statement of intent".
He's "never" been relegated but he stands with the Premier League record for longest run without a win from the start of the season, effectively relegating us after he got fired. God I hope he finally goes down now. Don't wish it on the Saints, but unfortunately for them they've taken the poison.

 

bloody hell spot on joey Barton!
Only thing that made me laugh was last week he criticised Jamie Carragher for spitting but didn't he like stub a cigarette out in someones face once?

 

Ultimately whether Joey is out of line would be determined by a court. If he keeps banging on about Hughes it might come to that is all I'm suggesting.

 

Hughes deal is only till the end of the season so he may live down to our expectations if they go down...

 

I wish Barton and Hughes would both ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after, does that sound any better than eat **** and die?

 

You're of course right. I'm well aware of what slander constitutes to. My post was half tongue in cheek, half truth, 100% my own opinion of the man.

 

Why am I listening to an ex-player who's opinion I don't have any time for, talk about an ex-manager I'd rather forget?

 

Cos it's better than a soap opera?!!

 

I have more time for Joey than Sparkless. At least Joey knows his faults. Hughes doesn't, therefore and forevermore, he is a ****y **** from **** Lane, **** Town, ****shire, ****land. Yes, that's right, I think he is a ****.

 

Blimey Shefford, you're not one of his fans then?

 

Now don't hold back...

 

But and it’s a big But maybe Sparkless hasn’t reacted because Joey is in fact right and is not worried about Sparkless suing him for slander knowing in a court of criminal law you are innocent till proven guilty whereas in a civil court in a libel or slander case you are guilty till you prove otherwise and with Sparkless’s track record in management he will have a hard job proving Joey wrong.

 

How refreshing to actually hear someone speak their mind.

I’m no huge fan of Joey but appreciate he has the balls to say what he thinks, as opposed to the usual lickspittle sycophants.
