Former owner of Crystal Palace, Simon Jordan, has slammed Joey Barton over his comments on Everton’s caretaker manager David Unsworth.
Barton appeared on TalkSPORT radio and questioned Unsworth’s credentials before branding him as a “glorified PE teacher”. Barton also took a shot at Unsworth’s weight which caused a stir among fans and media alike. This did not sit well with Jordan who made an appearance on Alan Brazil’s breakfast show on TalkSPORT earlier.
“Joey Barton waxing lyrical about the idea players won’t respect David Unsworth because physically he isn’t condition… well I think Barton has aspirations to manage himself and I suspect there will be a challenge for him when he is looking to enforce discipline and culture in his players because I don’t think he passed the sniff test on that himself,” said Jordan.
