It’s fair to say that we won’t be seeing Barton in a Shamrock Rovers jersey anytime soon.
Barton is currently a free agent after being released by Queens Park Rangers earlier this summer.
The controversial footballer held a Q&A session on Twitter on Wednesday and a lot of the questions centred around what Barton plans were for the immediate future, considering he was without a club.
When a League of Ireland account asked the controversial midfielder would he ever consider coming across the waters to play in the Irish top flight, he issued the following retort,
No. Probably retire. Unless of course I lost all my money in a Bernie Madoff style ponzi and had no other option. https://t.co/kXXasGQwbZ

Harsh.
However, whoever runs the LOI account was as sharp as a tack with their response.

Your move, Barton.
