That’s the view of Joey Barton, who says the St James’ Park boss needs to concentrate on matters on the pitch instead of complaining about problems off it.

The Spaniard is unhappy at the lack of transfer spending this summer and, following his side’s second successive defeat at the start of the season against Huddersfield at the weekend, he claimed his squad is not ready for the Premier League.

But former Toon midfielder Barton claims the ex-Liverpool boss needs to get out on the training ground to solve his side’s problems.
