According to Alan from Castleford

Without wishing to predjudice the outcome of any investigations being carried out by the EFL, FA or
South Yorkshire Police, the very fact that our Club has lodged a formal complaint, quite hopefully
indicates that we have managed to establish eye witness accounts and possibly video evidence
to use as compelling evidence to support the claims that Daniel has indeed been assaulted. Barton's past
record, can only add credibility to his penchant for losing his cool, given that less than a month ago
he had a touchline "spat" with Plymouth Argyles gaffer Derek Adams. The man is a total and utter liability.
I sincerely hope the various authorities involved don't shirk their responsibilities , because this buffoon can't
be allowed to continue his unacceptable violent behaviour.

I know what you're saying but even under these circumstances there is no excuse - a weak and invalid reason but not an excuse. Being filmed by the clubs media department comes with the territory as a football manager.

 

Oh, I know.

 

Article in the Daily Mash says that SYP have been in contact with the Fleetwood
management, presumably informing them of the need for them to interview Barton,
to enable them to establish his version of events after the game on Saturday.
