RTG Sunderland Message Boards


In the Daily Mail this morning...

How bizarre, Joey Barton's insistence that he would never manage Sunderland. Lee Johnson the current manager, has got them to third in League One, two points off automatic promotion with games in hand.
Win these and they would go top. Barton meanwhile is fighting relegation at Bristol Rovers, having been sacked by Fleetwood. At the weekend Rovers lost 0-1 to Sunderland. "The red & white side of the North east don't like me" Said Barton. "But deep down there is a side to them that secretly does and they'd want me to manage them. They just can't say it out loud because they know i'd reject them. As much as they want me i could never do it".
Having rejected a job at a more successful club that he's never been offered, never been linked with and never to any public knowledge, even been considered for. We can only wait in trembling anticipation for the latest bulletin from Joey's World.
In the meantime a spokesman from Sunderland said... Huh?
