Blackburn Rovers are the 4/1 favourites to sign football’s bad boy Joey Barton, according to Paddy Power.
Following Barton’s latest suspension at current club Newcastle today the bookie is betting on where Barton might go next with Sam Allardyce, the manager who signed him for Newcastle, the favourite to be reunited with the midfielder at Ewood Park.
Blackburn are followed in the betting by Bolton Wanderers at 13/2 with former club Manchester city at 9/1. Next season’s Premier League new boys Wolves are 12/1 whilst Liverpool, who Barton was sent off against at the weekend, are the 33/1 outsiders.
Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “Barton is running out of chances and clubs and his latest indiscretion may have given Newcastle the excuse they needed to offload his £60,000 a week wages should they find themselves in The Championship next season. So it’s just a question of where and Sam Allardyce is the logical betting favourite at Blackburn having already signed Barton once in his career.”
