He’s lost the plot, and it’s all rather puzzling, it’s like he’s decided he doesn’t want to be a football manager now and has gone full on nut job, no owner would touch him at the momentA while back he was trying to position himself as some sort of thoughtful liberal, but he’s now gone full gammon
"Cancelled"?People like Thompson, Souness and LeTiss got cancelled on Sky
Lawyers will be all over that.
This is all subjective of course. They may not be great pundits in some people's eyes but there is some absolute shite pundits who are male too. Someone mentioned Owen. I also think listening to Jermaine Jenas is as dull as watching paint dry. The question is, why is Barton so focused on the not so great women pundits and not the male ones?He doesn’t deliver his thoughts particularly well but he absolutely has a point on the pundits.
Eni Aluko is a rubbish pundit. She’s made multiple cock ups on air and imo, isn’t particularly knowledgeable on the mens game.
People like Thompson, Souness and LeTiss got cancelled on Sky, despite being at the very top of their industry for decades - male football. Yet, Aluko appears to get a free pass on multiple media outlets and repeated opportunities.
I don’t think she’s getting these roles based upon her industry knowledge (men’s elite football). I think she fits a narrative of diversity and inclusion, which is fine, but that does then open her up to scrutiny when she continues to offer very little to the shows that she is on.
Barton is a complete disgrace and shouldn’t be afforded the time by any media to be allowed to spout his crapHas he got the right Gary Neville?
He’s pretty clear that he thinks women are not qualified to comment on men’s football. Do you think he “absolutely has a point” on that?He doesn’t deliver his thoughts particularly well but he absolutely has a point on the pundits.

The bloke sounds more like an imam or catholic priest. It’s only football punditry.
