But the difference with Footballers are that they are worth more than the average person. Football is a different entity. I can write a notice tomorrow and leave my job in two weeks. Mr Ronaldo isn't in the same position. neither is Joey Barton.
I was being a bit facetious earlier. Lee Hughes and Jimmy Kelly did their time for non-football related offences and, having done their time, whether enough or not, they deserve a second chance. Barton though has assaulted colleagues in the workplace on more than one occasion. If Newcastle United was Newcastle City Council he wouldn't get near the front door, and I think Newcastle United have an obligation to the rest of their employees and their customers to make sure he doesn't play for them again.
