Definitely not one of the most desirable parts of the country at all... I agree, if you're approaching middle age and looking for a settled life, then Devon is a delightful place to live - I'd fancy it myself if I could afford the house prices on the coast. Not sure it would have quite the same attraction for a young man though, although a lot of footballers are at a club for a maximum of three years, so I'm sure they cope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a city and it has a big university in it. Plenty of nightlife and - although I'm observing from the standpoint of a happily married man - plenty of attractive young ladies out in the bars and clubs. You've got a direct rail link with London as well. It isn't like you're asking incoming players to live in Sidmouth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all it was only 3 weeks ago that Joey was telling us that local property prices were what was stopping him sign top Premiership talent. As I said, a lot of footballers are just passing through (as it were). If they're from "up north" and own a property, I'd imagine that they'd keep that, and rent for a couple of years wherever they happen to be playing. The older, "family man" may buy a property, if they see the area as a place that would be good for their family to settle. In the lower leagues it can be expensive business moving house every 3 years or so, when you factor in stamp duty, agents fees etc. I'm an oldie, however I don't think that Exeter has the same "buzz" as Bristol - just speaking as an ordinary person, taking football clubs out of the equation. Not that I live in Bristol, just my opinion from visiting both places quite a few times. I've probably gone off at a bit of a tangent - just another JB interview, with various sound bytes for the press to dangle as click bait. I think he thrives on it!

BetterRedthanBlue Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Jesus Christ just when you think he can't get any worse he says that. There's an old saying "It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt" every time he opens up his mouth he just sounds stupider and stupider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I just hope the Exeter fans give him so much dog`s abuse tomorrow that he wigs out and lamps someone.

I just hope that this time there will be enough evidence to send the c@nt down and to a prison where he is some nutter's biatch for the duration of his stay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regularly near the top of quality of life surveys & as you say, a brilliant university, too. Barton really is the most arrogant, obnoxious ***, yet The Post give him free reign to spout his offensive shite every week. His comments about not being able to get players to move to Bristol were truly pathetic, though seeing as he seems to have signed half of Merseyside since he took over the few, it’s not like he’s exactly got the largest sample size there, is it?

If I was a level headed sag ( one without six fingers, very rare, I know) knowing his past and listening to his interviews, I would be questioning the people that employed him in the first place. Everything this loose cannon says they must be happy with otherwise he would've been disciplined way before now. A truly vile club from top to bottom. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
