Joey Barton is strong again in the headlines.
The former footballer, who is currently coaching Bristol Rovers from the English Premier League, is known for his provocative remarks.
This time it's another one that occurred after the 3-1 loss to Newport County.
Asked at the press conference about his team's disgraceful defensive play, Barton shot: "Our team is almost like playing musical chairs. Sometimes players get on the field and play well, sometimes someone really gets into things but right after that he is injured or absent and suspended. It seems the players "We are going through a Holocaust. It is definitely a nightmare and a complete disaster."
Does Barton refer to a bad performance as a 'Holocaust' here?
Am I losing my hearing?

Another surfer added: "Why did this word even appear in the coach's head? He could not have gone lower."
It will be recalled that Barton, who was accused of being a gambling player, got into a virtual confrontation in 2014 regarding the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation with Yossi Benyon, with whom he played together in the KPR uniform.
