Hull say no to Barton

Hull City have said they do not want to sign Newcastle's Joey Barton.
Who would blame them. Seems like Joey spends more time in jail or in court than on the pitch.
Joey is an aggressive player, a good player at that, but he has issues outside of football.
It needs someone like Ferguson, or Fabio Capello (when he was at Milan) to manage Barton. It needs patience, but also the toughness to tell Barton that if he messes up, he'll be dealt with severely by the club.

I like Barton, and if he sorts himself out properly, he could still be a great player who will be snapped up by a massive club.

Good luck to you Barton. You'll need it at Newcastle.
