He has a terrible record and only himself to blame but I think there is a reasonably good footballer who ,unusually, can write quite well inside someone who has very serious anger management issues. He needs help to resolve this but it does seem when the lucid Barton is in control he does care.

I wonder if a coaching role would suit him better, most of his mad moments happen on the pitch maybe removing that part of his life will make a difference. He does have skill and passion and if he can teach that without passing on the hooligan elements it could be a winner. I don't see him as a manager, that would not work but as a member of a coaching staff it could just work.

might be wrong but aren't there some instances of assaults at the TRAINING GROUND? - really don't think coaching is the answer

There certainly have been but the majority of the most serious incidents seem to be under the pressure of the 'big game', I just wonder if removing that part of his life totally might do the trick and give him more time for writing which he seems to enjoy without getting into trouble.

It is a concern that his time off the pitch gives him more time to spout pseudo-intellectual bollocks, as is his wont.
