Utter myth that Koeman forced him out.
Ratboy was interviewed in the Guardian shortly after Koeman was dismissed and he was full of praise for how the Dutchman had improved his game and expressed sympathy for his sacking.
I don’t think Koeman demanded he remove his Everton tat either despite a red crimbo tree.
He was the only player Koeman had a go at publicly, he also took the contract back. Koeman definitely didn’t want him.

I think it’s more down to the fact that he started to get stick off our fans, and realised like most of our local players that in recent times our fans turn on our own quicker than other players.
I don’t get it myself.

All I can say is that according to Barkley himself he enjoyed working under Koeman, which certainly doesn’t suggest any ill feeling. In fact he felt Koeman improved him, again his words .
Koeman at the time said he was disappointed Barkley was going and had done all he could to persuade him to stay,
In fact Barkley’s refusal to discuss or sign a new contract predates Koemans arrival and strongly suggests he had already made a decision to leave.
If his reason for leaving is a perception that he was treated poorly by the supporters then he would be well advised to avoid returning because there is now a real grievance amongst many fans and this time any abuse would be genuine and far worse.
 


the REALLY depressing bit is that he probably improves our midfield

By how much tho mate? Don’t take this the wrong way , it says a lot about where we are that this is the only seemingly positive thing about signing him.

How the hell people can defend and have a go at fans for being upset and angry about the state of things here is beyond me. If it was other clubs they would be laughing at them.
