“This is a man whose lust for controversy and attention has been indulged and encouraged at every turn: often by a largely middle-class media for whom the ability to quote fortune-cookie fragments of Nietzsche or Viktor Frankl was interpreted as some kind of noble redemption arc.“

He's become another rather pathetic specimen hasn't he? The digs from Liew are numerous, but do serve to highlight where Barton sits in the pecking order of credibility.

That quote is spot on. I vividly remember segments on Football Focus and 5 Live questioning whether he was some sort of misunderstood intellectual on the basis that he tweeted some cryptic Nietzsche and Kant quotes intermittently. Just a small-minded thug with a chip on his shoulder who should never have been allowed to coach after the cigar incident, even before you consider any of his other massive tw@ttery.

I agree with the sentiment but the writer is trying far too hard.

And this from the Guardian who wrote (different writer) ‘Barton offers a striking mix of conviction and vulnerability.’ only five years ago.

The media give these morons far too much attention and then write about them getting too much attention.

Proud to say I’ve always thought he was a cock even when he was wittering on about Locke and Kaizen. Excellent piece.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
