Barton's biggest fear at the moment is if he drops the soap in the shower, and we have already sent him a "soap-on-a-rope", to which we got a hostile reaction.
But "unconfirmed reports" in the Journal say we are not the only ones to be getting under Barton's skin ... as the newspaper suggests that "Barton and his agent Willie McKay have responded with hostility to that suggestion, which is sure to complicate matters and raise the prospect of an early termination of the midfielder's lucrative contract".
The Journal: "But, as revealed in The Journal yesterday, neither the club nor the player will want to make a definitive move until after the resolution of his trial for an alleged training ground assault on former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo".
Barton 'Hostility' To Wage Cut!
Well the Toon midfielder is NOT very happy, according to The Journal.
