Nobody's shocked that he did this. They're just shocked that he's still somehow involved in football after everything he's done.

That's what I don't understand. He wasn't that good as a player, why has he been given so many opportunities? 

[Colly]

In justification rather than defense he hasn't really, every career move was a downwards one, barring maybe Marseille? You can question the logic of anyone employing him as a manager given his history, but he did all his badges etc so they maybe thought he was worth a try. I reckon that'll be the end of him.

That tweet doesn't even need hindsight to be ridiculously hypocritical.

[TCO]

I'm gonna guess it was tongue in cheek at the time to be fair.

Fuck Barton though.

South Yorkshire Police have arrested a man on suspicion of racially aggravated assault and a racially aggravated public order offence following incident at the Barnsley vs. Fleetwood match on Saturday.

Was it @Matt?

[Matt]

Please, I only go to Barnsley to remind myself that life can always be worse. 

[Lineker]

Bolton officially sold to this piece of shit.

[9 to 5]

I can't read that, the chairman keeps repeating himself.

[Bobfoc]

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

[DavidMarrio]

Hasn't he been declared bankrupt twice, the new prospective owner?

[Bobfoc]

He has.

[DavidMarrio]

You'd think that would raise alarm bells as it is....

Yeah, but Donald Trump has been declared bankrupt and look how its working out for him.

[The Lusophone]

Not only has he been twice declared bankrupt, in 2013 he was banned from holding any leadership role in a football club for three years due to financial improprierties. How the hell he passed the fit and proper persons test is mind boggling.

[Adam]

I don't think he's taken it yet to be fair, the sale has been agreed but the EFL still need to approve it.

It is a joke though, I do wonder what the "Owners & Directors" test, as it is now known, actually consists of. I think only a couple of people have failed it, including former Doncaster Rovers chairman John Ryan when he tried to buy the club back in a daft crowdfunding scheme with Louis bloody Tomlinson. And I know for a fact John Ryan has money because he's a successful, above board businessman who guided us out of oblivion into the Championship.

Then you see people like Bassini, and that fake Qatar company that swindled buying Notts County, getting approved and allowed to freely fuck about with EFL clubs. Daft.

The fit and proper persons test is pure bullshit. "Are you fit? Are you proper? Yes? Good."

The amount of charlatan owners in the EFL is stupid. Especially that knob at Charlton.

[Baddar]

Leeds trying their best not to get promotion.

Doomed
