CONFIRMED Retained List

Yes I do agree. I know he said a few things but I’m sure they lied about being in talks of a new offer so when he was asked about it it would be hard not to get a bit wound up. Hes not good at playing the media game

And I think that made him more likeable than the average cap-touching footballer.

Thought there may have been a post on social media from him as well. If not thanking the club then certainly the supporters. I suppose there is time yet or maybe he will just go the way of the Darnell and not bother.

Why would he? It's a job, he got paid and I don't think he thought the fans particularly liked him (interview earlier this season).

I'm not saying that's "right" but Barky really didn't help his cause among the hierarchy with his interviews earlier in the season.

By telling the truth?....... Bloody hell, this board is full of complaints about lack of communication from the club but when a player is honest then he's told he shouldn't have been? Okay, maybe it's not too wise if you only care about your pocket but the guy obviously doesn't. He's played injured in shit teams, with shit tactics,in wrong positions and with shit management...

He goes with my best wishes and a thank you that's for sure.

If, as posted on here no offer was made after 200 appearances, would you ?

No offer being made is not the fault of the supporters. He could easily thank fellow players, staff and supporters whilst still making a point of not thanking the club.

Like I’ve said though if the club were lying about talks being ongoing he’d have been well within his rights to dispute that at the time publicly and fight his corner.

It's never a good idea to openly criticise your employers, and certainly not in the media! Rarely ends well for the employee...

Not disputing that but perhaps the damage was done way before he did it.... Either way it's refreshing to witness honesty and integrity.

Not too mention that our fans do generally tend to have a player to scapegoat during any poor run, and Barky was unfairly on the receiving end of this pretty regularly. There used to be two lads who sat next to me on invincibles who hurled him dogs abuse every week. I remember Barky scoring and coming over to cup his ears right in front of us to celebrate. Let's not pretend players don't hear what's shouted from the stands.
 
Bobbage said:
As a fan, yes it is, but my point is that after those interviews is it really a surprise that Barky wasn't offered a pay rise?

The thing is if he thought they would offer him anything he obviously wouldn’t have said it then. Its been clear for a while they wouldnt offer him anything let alone a pay rise

To be honest I think he probably will post something cause it was an amazing 5/6 years for him overall its just a shame how it ended

Don't be daft... That interview was late last year and he's been here for over 5 years... There's more to it than that. In an earlier post I jokingly said that he might have told the truth and called PR a wanker.. I hope he did.
