Ok, today news feed about dicks in football continues in absolutely crazy direction. Joey Barton, one of the last British classic football badasses, is coming back from his current suspension which he got for being found guilty for no less than 1260 FA betting regulation breaches. League One club Fleetwood Town announced that Barton will take over as their new head coach after ex-England midfielder’s ongoing suspension from all footballing activities until June, 2.
Speaking to Cod Army official website, Barton stated:
I’m very excited by the challenge and the project at Fleetwood Town.
It’s a club I’ve known for a long time, and a chairman I already have a very good relationship with.
My first job in management was always going to be a big decision for me and I’m delighted with the opportunity ahead, I’m joining a club with big ambitions.
I’m looking forward to getting started on June 2nd.
Good one, Joey. Don’t forget to train your players to poke opponents in the eye.
