...But Mr Carlisle was quick to offer the PFA's assistance He said: "We as a union are there for all of our members as long as they show a willingness to address their behaviour. "Should Joey want our support we most definitely will be there for him." Carlisle added that Barton had taken steps to control his notorious temper - but still had some way to go. "Joey has done some fantastic work with regards to his anger management over the years," he said. "We have seen him make great strides as a person and the way he does conduct himself 95% of the time, but when you have a reputation it is the times that you lose it that comes to the fore. "It is not Joey Barton per se that is the problem it is the actions he does when he loses control. It is something he has been working very hard to get on top of but obviously there is still work to do It is when Joey sees the red mist and it is these things we need to get a control of because it sets a poor example to the thousands of kids who are watching the game. "We really want our professionals to have the highest levels of respect for one and other and control themselves and their actions both on and off the pitch. This is something we are trying to press forward into the players - a consciousness of their responsibilities.""
