    Barton's career and life have been marked by numerous controversial incidents and disciplinary problems and he has been convicted twice on charges of violence. On 20 May 2008, he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for common assault and affray during an incident in Liverpool City Centre. Barton served 74 days of this prison term, being released on 28 July 2008. On 1 July 2008, he was also given a four-month suspended sentence after admitting assault occasioning actual bodily harm on former teammate Ousmane Dabo during a training-ground dispute on 1 May 2007. This incident effectively ended his Manchester City career. Barton has been charged with violent conduct three times by The Football Association: for the assault on Dabo, for punching Morten Gamst Pedersen in the stomach and for attacking three players on the final day of the 2011–12 season.
    Barton's brother Michael Barton was sentenced to life imprisonment (with a tariff of 17 years) for his involvement in the racially motivated murder of Anthony Walker in 2005.

    Nuff said.

    I think Barnsley and Wilks' lawyers will be confident that Wilks won't be doing too much porridge if any. Otherwise they wouldn't have signed him. Might be wrong just a hunch.

    I'm just talking about taking it all at face value, looking at it impartially and not taking into account each persons past.

    I agree with you otherwise, if we do take into account Barton's history, his demeanor and attitude in his playing career then yes, He looks more probable for the guilty verdict.

    Parking the legal side of this and how long he does or doesn’t get if found guilty, what I want to see is how the FA deal with it
    With all the talk about respect and abuse not acceptable etc, surely they have no choice but to throw the book at him to send a clear message out?

    That was an unbelievable scene when it came out. The entire thing was unreal, can remember reading about it on Twitter and then it came through on Radio Sheffield as we drove home from the match.

    Same match where that massive player got sent off for absolutely nailing Mcgeehan with an elbow right in front of the Ponty. Eventful day that.

    No one knows exactly what went off in the tunnel. He's probably guilty as sin but that's for a judge and jury to decide.

    If he is found guilty and sentenced to a prison term I am not really sure what the FA can do in addition - I dont think they have the power to prevent him acting as a manager or pundit though they can ban him from playing but thats not relevant these days. Of course anyone committing ABH at a football ground is usually banned for at least 5 years from any grounds which would make working as a manager a bit difficult though for some reason that only applies to the public not managers and players

    Agreed. A court of law will look at his past conduct, as they will for Wilks & the likelihood of either re-offending.

    I think this whole incident speaks volumes about the game we all love.
    Can any of you on here claim to know anyone in any other line if work, where senior management, has his track record and is condoned by his hierarchy and allowed to continue by the regulators of any given job?

    Mistaken identity, I think. Joey is a renowned pacifist.

    I worked with a lad who was part of Leeds Service Crew in the 80's. He was charged for affray & lost his job at Yorkshire Bank immediately.

    If found guilty then surely he would come under the remit of a banning order too?
    A criminal offence committed inside a football ground on matchday.
    If not i would hazard a guess there will be countless appeals from people who have also been banned for similar or lesser offences.

    I think the OP prob meant that after suspension, investigation and in the event of being found guilty of said assault, the employee would be dismissed.
