Barton has to move: Agent

Joey Barton’s agent Willie McKay has confirmed the England midfielder will leave Manchester City this summer – but again questioned the decision to suspend his client over the training ground bust-up that left Ousmane Dabo requiring hospital treatment.

Barton is due to face an internal disciplinary hearing next week into his assault on Dabo, which, in the Frenchman’s own words, left him looking “like the Elephant Man”.
