Could be wrong but I believe there was actually some legal wrangling from Reading's side over whether the sell-on would still be valid as we'd dropped out of the League and we were pressured by them into accepting one-off sum as we didn't have the time nor funds to explore and mount a proper legal defence of our position.

Didn't we have a similar rubbish sandwich with the Kitson sell on? From what I recall, Reading knew we needed money and offered us something like £150k up front to cancel a 20%(?) sell on clause. We accepted. A few weeks later, Kitson went to Stoke for £5.5m. Yes, that's exactly how it was, was working for someone involved at the time, he smelt a rat but was ignored, then stepped away.

I wonder if he will defend his right to free speech?

Still daft things like this end up in court, although there have been much stupider ones related to football that have ended up there. The irony that Eni Aluko is the one time he's actually correct can't be lost on anyone though!

As the Euros just showed theres plenty of rubbish commentators, male and female, black or white. Critique them sure, if it's reasonable. No need for the relentless targeting Barton and others have done though.

Ah I thought it was just the general slagging off rather than that, but still daft a bit of social media gets taken to such extremes.
There are indeed, but she's the only female pundit I'd happily launch into the sun, whereas there are plenty of male ones who'd get a similar fate! Not that it means Barton isn't a complete scumbag, natch.

Anyone else doing the new EFL fantasy league? Could start a message board league if enough are arsed?

To win you'd have to be a 72CW!

One of the worst of the many cuts that helped kill my love of the sport, I'm afraid!

Not that it means Barton isn't a complete scumbag, natch. Agree that in the scheme of things it shouldn’t go so far as this but ….whatever her ability at the job she’s trying to do…he’s a misogynistic, racist bully who think he has s right to slag off women (and others) because he’s failed in most of the things he really wanted to do. And he’s got previous on this kind of stuff. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him surface up from the swamp at some time and become Trump’s next horse whisperer
