HATCHET MAN: Allardyce will have to stay quiet if he decides to sign Barton
Sam Allardyce has always been very sensitive about criticism of his approach to the game.He has had regular run-ins with other managers who decry his basic style for lacking sophistication or craft.[LNB] [LNB]No defence: Sam Allardyce will have to stay quiet about his style if he signs Joey Barton[LNB]But if he signs Joey Barton from Newcastle, a transfer he is rumoured to be interested in concluding this summer, he should forever hold his tongue.The Blackburn manager will have no credibility in arguing the positive sides of his style if he is prepared to stoop that low.[LNB] More from Hatchet Man... HATCHET MAN: Watch out Wayne, your anger might just backfire on you once again07/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Sorry Milner, moving up one place is not a great success for Villa07/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Gerrard is deluded if he thinks Liverpool are too good not to win the title07/05/09 HATCHET MAN: The behaviour of Drogba and Ballack was simply disgraceful07/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Drogba is daft to big up the likes of Malouda, Ballack and Essien - Barcelona have nothing to fear from them06/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Barca coach insists he'll give a Pep talk and not moan if Chelsea beat them - yeah, right...06/05/09 HATCHET MAN: So Moyes thinks Baines is better than Cole and Bridge...What at? Scrabble? 06/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Fletcher's red card is hardly a tragedy because replacement Paul Scholes is a better player06/05/09 VIEW FULL ARCHIVE Barton is a player who should be shunned by the Premier League and forced to find humility in the Football League on a pay-as-you-play deal, to work his way back up and feel the cost of his mistakes.He needs to prove he has changed before he makes it back to the level he thinks he belongs at and Allardyce wouldn't be doing anybody any favours by giving Barton an easy and lucrative escape route from his problems at Newcastle.[LNB] [LNB]
