Barton bust-up won't settle unsettle City: Pearce

Stuart Pearce has insisted there will be no negative response from Manchester City to the training ground bust-up that led to Joey Barton being suspended and Ousmane Dabo requiring hospital treatment.

Both men will miss Saturday’s Premiership derby with Manchester United at Eastlands following the fracas, which had led to intense speculation that Barton will be axed by Pearce in the summer.
