Lol, you blame Barkley for the weak mentality that has plagued the club for decades ?
Koeman needs to be backed and Ross needs to be turfed onto the next train to Euston station so he can go and "further his career" at FC Gold & Sullivan.

No, I said he is a part of it.

Getting rid of him isnt going to suddenly change the entire mentality of a club, he is not playing a big part in ruining this club. Far too much blame put on Barkley for something which runs far deeper than the players.

Humpf.... Look Joe, it's been said 100x I agree with you that the ultimatum shouldn't have been made public but had it not been said ??? and Ross leaves for a West Ham for instance, the club would have been lynched for not trying hard enough to keep one of our own... Again!!!! This way we know he has been offered a really good contract and it's him holding this up.... Not the club. (this time)
Im not blaming Barkley, its up to him if he thinks he deserves more, Ross Barkley will do whats best for him, no problem with that me.
Must say I'm surprised this is still going on, after he's had about a month to process the fact that no big clubs want him.

One does.
On the fence as to whether we can be considered "big" by modern football standards mate. Traditionally a big club, deffo.

Is he still on his holidays? There was that rumour that it'd be boxed off once he had returned.

Am a bit bored if I am honest.
Light day at work, light day in Transfer World, the group banning of that tit FABlue was a brief relief of the tedium.

You mean Everton? We obviously don't want him enough to cave in to ludicrous cash demands. There are better,or at least equally good players out there that will cost a lot less. We should get him on the transfer list ASAP, and let another club deal with his lack of application and temperament.Enough is enough.
With all this talk of 'ultimatum' and 'public ultimatum' I think people would benefit from re-reading these quotes by Koeman.
"It was no ultimatum. But football is a business," Koeman said. "I think the player needs to understand this, it's not an ultimatum but I spoke to Ross about a new contract and it's up to the board to get that over the line. If not then the player could see a new future for himself, but that is normal, it's not strange talk.
"At Southampton we had Clyne, he did not have a new contract and we sold him. The player has to understand that if he doesn't sign a new contract, he needs to make a decision for the club so that they know what happens next year. Ultimatum is strong, I don't like that word."
