If there is a player who has had a bad reputation in the Premier League it has been Joey Bartonwho, even retired, avoids being at the center of controversy and in recent weeks several misplaced sexist and sexist comments have gone viral.
The now commentator has been unmasked by Jamie Hedgeswith which he coincided when Barton was coach of Bristol Rovers. The now Aldershot Town’s head of recruitment (only 23 years old), described the former Newcastle midfielder as a ‘bully’ and revealed how bad he put him through.
“It happened after we lost 2-1 to Wigan in midweek. It was Thursday and I was at my computer doing my analyst job with the rest of the staff and Joey came in and I could tell he was angry. He just looked at me and He got angrier. He grabbed a ball from the room, pointed at me in front of everyone and said ‘hey, come out now and do 50 touches or I don’t want to see you again.’ At first I laughed a little, but she said she was serious.”begins by telling Hedges who explained that “I’m young, obviously I came out and couldn’t do it. My role has nothing to do with being able to play football. I watch it, I don’t play it.”

The episode did not end there with Barton. “I went back to the office and told all the staff ‘this is the shit I have at this club and you will never have a career in this sport’. She said he never wanted to see me again. It was probably the first time I talked to him,” said Hedges, who confessed that “I’m not going to lie, it hurt me a lot. I’m working for my club and I’ve never worked so hard. Things didn’t go well but that’s football. If he had told me to talk and explained that he wanted to go in a different direction I would have understood. The way he did it is wrong. He’s just a bully. I think he waited until the person who had defended me was not present. The first day Tommy was gone, he decided to go after me.”
Barton denies it
Joey Barton, instead of apologizing for what happened, went to his ‘X’ account to try to deny what Hedges had explained about his past.
“It’s an article made up by Jamie. It’s full of lies. He’s a fantasist who was a spy for Tommy Widd on our campus. It’s proven by Widd taking him on in the last two jobs he had,” Barton explained, insisting that “ask him.” why the chairman of Bristol Rovers sacked him. I have 8 witnesses to the aforementioned touching incident. All willing to give evidence against it. Jamie was sacked because, like the majority of the club at the time, they were bad at their job. Truly incompetent “.
It did not end there. Barton threatened that “if the Bristol Post does not remove the article within the next 24 hours and apologize for the lies printed in it, I will be forced to involve my legal team. The ball is in their court.”
